MK7 "Random / "Stupid" Questions Thread"

[swcrow]

back on track with random/stupid questions.

I have REVERSE fender screw mod-ish issues.....only on rear tires (18x18.5 245/40/18) right where body meets the bumper seam.......to my knowledge and initial looking....no fender screw there.

Anyone have this issue?

Guys what's the total price on a stage 2 APR tune from stock or JB4? Can't find a way to add it up on the site goapr.com.

This would be with all the crap they want you to have with it like DP and... CAI.

$750 dp
$700 tune
$460 intake
-------------
$1,910+

TBH it's too much, especially if they require a CAI. My guess is the shop you take it to will charge their own fee for labor as well. Instead of wasting money on an intake use it on an intercooler or mounts. Or more importantly, tires if you don't have decent ones yet.

I went with a unitronic flash tune and I regret it. I love the tune but I want more power now and in the future. Cobb is a bit more expensive at first but worth it in the end. I regret not taking the advice from all the other forum members who said this before I bought. And flash tunes are non returnable. At least with a cobb, if you wanted to you could sell the AP and get most of your money back

For his route the AP3 probably wouldn't be any more expensive. I got my protune + ap3 for like $900, then the downpipe for $500. So that's $500 cheaper than what APR wants. Instead of a CAI just get a drop-in filter

Depends if the homie is DSG or not. Tack on a couple hundo for the TCU tune as well. But youre right, it is still cheaper honestly. Used AP's are for sale almost all the time on the classifieds

Apparently APR charges another $700 for a DSG tune https://www.goapr.com/products/tcu_upgrade_dq250_mqb.html

I'm there with you. It was great for the first year and I still really enjoy it, but in retrospect, I should have gone with EQT.

If you're current or ex military, you can get an AP direct from Cobb for the same price as a used one too. They have a great military discount.

Does anybody have a good paint match for OEM Durban silver wheels? I have a tiny curb rash that I want to touch up. I've seen Wurth wheel paint in silver works well?

You might have better luck asking in the 'wheels/tires' forum

LOVE threads like this so we can ask the questions and not get reamed.
Convenience windows not available in the US - seriously? That's what dealer said when I took it in and tech didn't know how to program it in?
He said he didn't know which bank to change since it was a different layout?
That legit?
thnx- newbie

you can buy an obdeleven and program it yourself. I have the codes (if your talking about using the key fob to turn down windows)
