MK7 "Random / "Stupid" Questions Thread"

[NeedSleep]

I looked at my driver's seatbelt. It doesn't look anywhere near as bad as what's posted above, but it does seem to be fraying around where my seatbelt would make contact with a jacket zipper.

Is there a way to change the increment amount of the cruise control? 5mph is far too big to try to adjust to match traffic.

Some cars the silver buttons go in increments of 1 and the lower horizontal go in increments of 5 or vice versa.

You can program with obd11 vcds

Wouldn't that be expensive?

Have you tried the SET & RES buttons once CC is engaged ? SET to decrease speed by 1, RES to increase by 1 (mph or kmh depending on country)

If you don't have DCC just click + or - to increase or decrease by 1 MPH.

The "Res" when pressed after it is turned on and activated will increase it by 1mph and the "Set" will decrease it by 1mph.

No I hadn't tried that because they did not have any labeling suggestive of that functionality. Thank you! I will try this.

Just a quick question. I’m new to the forum here. I’ve been looking all over and trying to find a way to replace my lower grille on my mk7 gti there is a chip missing out of the grille. It has the honey comb grill with the defat cut out. I just don’t want to have to take the entire front end off.

On the 2019 R model everything I’ve read says car performs to the numbers on premium gas. Will regular gas f up the car or just not get the fill up/torque?

If vw doesn't call for premium fuel and you don't care about getting the most out of its performance and will go broke if you do, I don't see why you couldn't use regular IF you leave it bone stock!

If only there was some sort of book that explained how all the features of a car work

^^^ Some day someone will write all that stuff down to help new car owners.
