    Battery swap gremlin.

    When something like this happens, isn't the auto supply store liable to some degree?

    Battery swap gremlin.

    It was the #8 fuse. What a pain to check that fuse compartment.

    Battery swap gremlin.

    I do not have the 12V supply. NTB said they had it. Currently the VCDS interface does not work because of the above glitch.

    Battery swap gremlin.

    Headlights

    Get the 3M kit. I used the one that attaches to a drill. The same company makes one where you have to manually rub the sandpaper that is velcroed to a sponge applicator. The hand held kit has a slightly higher grit of the finishing sanding compound.

    Recommendation for headlight protection

    A remember getting 2 headlight films from one vendor. The first one was for Ed's headlight upgrade which didn't do much for me ( may have been HID low beam and wimpy halogen high beam), the 2nd one was for an LED lo and high beam upgrade also from Ed. Ed no longer sells these parts last time I...

    Recommendation for headlight protection

    I did the same thing. If I remember correctly WeatherTech uses 3M. Pretty easy to use. Heat gun with plenty of soap water spray. Don't wait until ambient temperature drops. And do wax the finished product a month later; the wax does offer some protection.

    I am 5'10" 190 lbs. I have tried adjusting the seat's height, forward and backward adjustment, steering wheel and back tilt and lumbar. I cannot get enough support on this seat. Ive been advised by my mechanic that the R seats have a thicker and firmer cushion and better side bolsters than the...

    R seats compared to Recaro LS

    I have never sat on a R seat before but have been told it is a huge difference from my Mk7 GSW TDI S Trim seats (which are OK, but not really that comfortable on long drives). I am considering an upgrade to R seats, but I had an opportunity to sit on a Recaro LX and LS seats and they are...

    GTI seats vs. R seats....

    My Mk7 GSW TDI in S trim doesn't have much support in the front seats. I suppose the R seats are more substantial? I am looking to get R front seats but I am not sure if the R seats' power adjustment buttons will work given that my seat's power adjustment is just the recline function.

    Consolidated Macan Brembo upgrade thread (READ FIRST POST)

    I don't know how to sift through all the pages on this thread so here goes and please be kind. I have Motegi TrakLites 17" x 8" without spacers. (MR131). Which big brake set up should I consider? Can I just change the fronts and leave the back alone? I don't mind changing all 4 brakes. Thank you.
