What did you do to your mk7 today?

Raised idle by 50rpm with VCDS. You can switch it back and forth and definitely tell a difference if you have an aftermarket dogbone.

Note: Coolant temp needs to be over 180F or thereabouts. It wouldn't take until the engine had idled for a few minutes off a cold start.

Ugg, this is something I really want and have tried to code it multiple times. It's never took for me. Had the car warmed up, too. I mean it says it's coded at +50 but I have an 034 insert and felt no difference, heard no difference, and saw no difference on the tach so I don't believe at actually did anything.

I could switch it back and forth and notice a difference. It wasn't massive but it was obvious. I have a HEX-V2 cable if it makes any difference.

Probably an easy thing to google- would you mind sharing the name of your wheels? I dig em! :)

I spilled a bunch of coke on my passenger seat and center console bc of a faulty lid. It was awesome.

Cleaned and and rain-x'ed the windows, washed, clayed, scrubbed off some caked on trim restorer, V36, then V38 on the hood, roof, and driver's side doors/quarter panel. Then it started raining and I had to stop polishing and just put a coat of buttery wet wax on the whole car minus the bumpers so I could pull it back into it's side of the garage =( can't wait til I close on this house so I can have a garage big enough to work on a car while both are parked inside.

Also checked the torque on my lugs.

Tomorrow it's oil change, cabin air filter, interior detail, check tire pressure, trim restorer, and detail the wheels. I may wash the wax off the passenger side and then polish that, and I will be finishing waxing the bumpers and hatch. Not enough time in the day after work but I'm leaving on a road trip to North Carolina on Wednesday and I need it to look good!

Finished up the suspension install. Re-torqued all hardware. Put on the Nogaro wheels with Conti ExtremeContact Sport tires. 10mm spacers in the front. 15mm in the rear. Happy I didn’t go with 15 and 20. Koni sport shocks. Eibach pro kit springs - the Amazon Deutschland version. I’ll post some better pics once I have some time to get it detailed and clean the wheels properly.

Drove home in a max wiper, pooled water, can't see anything downpour. Max safe speed on the new bumpy as fk toll road was about 60 due to visibility. Car handled like a champ, never planeing, wandering or veering, even with numerous heavy pooled water induced slow downs. An eighteen wheeler I think attempted to change two lanes, through me, to get off at an exit, about 50ft ahead. I was already in Sport because I wanted the engine braking to drive in that weather, and squeezed for 4 seconds at 50% throttle in 4th, as I veered off into the brakedown lane and squirted in front of the truck, pulling back into my lane. Check my rearview and kid you not the truck is literally stopped right at the exit split grass like WTF dude.

Point is, I didn't at any time feel as if I were in any way out of control. These Nokian tires are NO JOKE in the rain, the suspension is locked in, and I love driving this car.

Which nokian tires are you running?

Finally found out how to turn the orange sidemarkers off on my 7.5. Big thanks to the guys in the GOLF R section that figured it out [emoji481]
