What did you do to your mk7 today?
- Thread starter GTA5
- Start date
She loves it... but after I slowly (like very slowly) walked her with the GTI she is now talking about tuning it and asking what else she can do to make it faster. LOL The GTI would not hang with it off a dig, duh... but she thought I was going to be left in the dust at "highway" speeds.

Where's the after
I asked the wife is she could take one and she said that "the car is filthy and looks like a 4x4". Dropping it Sunday/Monday, so probably pics then.

What'd they charge you for it, and did they drop it/clean the screen, or just drain & fill? Also, how much mileage since it was last done/what kind of mileage? Mine's [over]due if we go by the 3 year suggestion, but I figure for as little as it's driven it's alright as long as I do it soon. I'm around 36k and to my knowledge it's never been done on my '19, buuuuut it's also been autocrossed maybe 3 times so I can't imagine it's in awful need of attention.
It was done as part of 30k service, which was covered under VW care.
They weren't going to do it until I explained that it was in fact part of the 30k miles service. I gave them specific instructions to clean the screen, replace the fluid and perform the required adaptions in the VW service manual.
For all I know, they drained it, filled it with piss and laughed. ?
My car has seen a HARD 30k miles. 50+ autocrosses and 5 track days. I didn't notice the VAQ degrading at all. And I have driven non VAQ cars on 200tw, so I know what it feels like to not have a functioning LSD or VAQ.

Nice, lucky you. I called a local dealer, they had no clue to what I was referring, and when I finally explained what I wanted done they determined it was a $400 service (and strongly recommended against it).
Needless to say, I did not proceed with them. Going to have an AX buddy who works at a Honda dealer put the car on a lift after hours and do a simple drain & fill, at 60k I'll probably do the whole thing but for the moment I'm just not interested in fighting with it.
I'd be surprised if they cleaned the filter, considering it's not part of the service "by the book".
I'm sure it's at least half fluid, and half piss ?
These were the same clowns that tried to deny my aux water pump claim because I "vOiDeD mY wArRaNtY".

Gonna try my hand at ND2 Miata parts, so I took some measurements last night.
Then went to pick up a camper for a friend & hopefully will be picking one up for myself soon.
He’s going to tow it with his Atlas, but hasn’t got a brake controller yet so we played it safe with the Burb

ND2 is a fantastic platform.
Looks good, but how will you be able to remove the door card if you need to?
