What did you do to your mk7 today?

[16GTI]

VW cheap plastic.



I broke one of mine too. Does it still click? If so, it should be ok.

No click, but it is holding in place for now; no epc light or misfires in that cylinder (cylinder 1). If that connector backs off cylinder 1 won’t function, so I have to replace that before work Monday morning. Anyone replaced one of those have any tips?

Thanks.

2:27 is my favorite part.

It is funny how pleasantly surprised he is by the juice

DeAutoLED license plate leds. I got the option 2 which is more of an OEM look. Very easy install and looks great.

That was the toughest part of the whole plug change because I had to be so careful disconnecting them. Everything is so solid on this car but those connectors are made of the cheapest plastic for some reason.

Heat making them brittle.....like the 1.8T engines in MK4 etc...heat damage to coil pack wiring etc...

I used DEI reflectagold & Zircotech stuff to heatshield all the wiring & the connectors...I did a thread on in...

Yeah I replaced a couple just make sure you get the proper part # as there's a few out there that look very similar, and a good pin tool is necessary. I used part# 4D0971994 and that worked for my '16 GTI.

My Black Friday purchase finally arrived


This should be a nice upgrade from the OE Englishtown wheels.

Installed NEUSPEED Front Sway Bar Link and then fixed the sliding shade for my sunroof from sliding back all the time.

How do you fix the sunshade?

Agreed. Surprisingly so for such a critical part.

I've been on the fence about ordering these for a while. They look fantastic, you may have convinced me to pull the trigger.
