    ESC Button Retrofit

    Honestly, if I had been in this situation, no electronic parking brake and 3 blanks, I wouldn't have dared to fit the buttons. The fact that I had at least 2 buttons already installed and @golfdave's presentation was impeccable gave me the courage to try. I have zero knowledge in car...

    ESC Button Retrofit

    Do not use the harness that came with the buttons. That's what I bought on Aliexpress. I carefully unwrapped the insulation on the left cable and used only the wires. This is T17D connector and in the pin 5. Carefully pry open the T10ks connector to insert the wire into pin 9. I...

    Mk7 2013 defrost vent removal

    I have the same problem. I've been following her for 2 years. I can't figure out where that noise is coming from. I searched to see if anyone solved the problem but found nothing.

    Hello, I had a similar harness. Yes, it’s pinned different than what @golfdave presents. I didn't use that harness. So I used the existing cable and just pulled a new wire from the ESC button pin 5 to the T17D connector. My car initially had only the buttons in the picture. Original harness...

    How to retro-fit skid trays, aerodynamic under trays, & stone guards to a MK7 Golf

    When I mounted the shield I had the same problems as you. I was sure it wouldn't fit. After a few tests I found the right way. The first time the shield is inserted on the thread next to the exhaust. Then screw the plastic nut (WHT000713) only partially. And then connect the shield to the metal...

    What are your favourite winter tires?

    On winter I shift from 18" to 16". I have been using Blizzak LM001 for 7 years. Very good when the snow is high. But in the last three years not a single snowflake has fallen. I am not happy at all to use 3 months the winter tires just because the law requires it.

    Power Liftgate mod recommendation ?

    I've been following this product for 2 years. It got cheaper but they still seem a bit expensive. I think it is the best choice for golf mk7. No additional holes in the tailgate are required. https://www.autoease.com/product/liftgate/
