What you say makes sense Ropejumper. But why won't I get a td1 flag if I leave the jb1 connected? And what is the difference between a td1 and getting reported?

Hey all, I am looking for some additional confirmation that I'm good here. I have a 2017 GTI that is out of warranty. I have 53,000 miles on it. I need to visit the dealer to make a claim on the water pump that Volkswagen currently has provided an extended warranty service available to all...

Thanks Diggs, I thought I was going to have to spend some coin to fix this.

Can someone let me know what this sleeve on the hose is? The hose seems to be slipping out of it

The window actuator is probably busted.

Might not be related but I just had to replace the timing cover on my 17 gti. I was losing a 1/2 quart of oil every 3k miles. It was a result of three of the 4 teeth that hold on the oil cap had broken off. Asa result I had lower oil pressure, oil was either creeping out the cap or being...

Thanks DSC, it's good to know they are well known. I currently have a jb1 with default 91 octane map. It is very 'surgey' (on off) with power. The ie has a low torque variant and sounds like I can have pops and bangs and stage 1. If it makes more torque then jb1, and is not so on/off with...

There is no such thing as lifetime fluid. You have to know what Volkswagen definition of lifetime is. Nobody will admit what that number is but it's roughly the lifetime of a general car owner.... 3 to 5 years. So it's reference to the lifetime ownership of the first owner. Get that fluid...

I've been seeing a lot of adds on YouTube for this tune and I finally decided to check it out. It sounds promising and the marketing is pretty slick, but does anyone know about this for a mk7 gti or do they have experience with them...

Yes, for 100k it should be more around 12k in my book. I'd continue shopping for other cars. If your set on this one then I'd at least require full-service records.

Diggs, you probably weren't far off. I couldn't reproduce the clunk sound today, and the mechanic took the car for a drive over some bumpy roads and stuff and couldn't reproduce the sound and he came back saying that something probably got stuck temporarily. I guess I'm good for now

Coming up on 37,000 miles. Diggs, can a rock make the brakes clunk? They are fairly new with only 1000 miles on the rotor and pad

Today I was on the last 2 mile stretch home from a 100 mile round trip when I started to hear a clunk sound coming from the passenger front side, it sounded like it was coming from the tire. I was on a side street (about 30mph) that had multiple minor bumps (the kind from tree roots and the...

I cut myself multiple times on that. I called vw and today they replaced it under the recall. Now I'm cut free!

I cut my hand on the fake chrome piece on the steering wheel column as well

Thanks. This sounds like the most simple strait forward pads and may be for me. Do they have various models that I need to select from? If so, which do you recommend for the the street?

I didn't know they had a coating I could just put on the wheels to easily wash off the dust. Any suggestions on which one?

I have a '17 GTI Sport with 36k miles and am told I need new pads and rotors. I am a spirited driver, but don't go to the track. I love my stock brakes but I hate the amount of dust they put out. What brakepads do you recommend that are just as good as the stock pads but a whole lot less dusty?

Thanks Cb1111. That is a perfect answer for me. I think I will go to a indy near me. I'm in Santa Clara, CA. Does anyone have any recommendations for someone to do the dsg service?
