What did you do to your mk7 today?

[krvnked]

I finally got my car back today from some body work repair. They replaced the door but it SOUNDS like SHIT when you shut the door or use the handle. I look at the receipt and looks like they replaced it with the door of an e-Golf? Did they use different materials because it sounds like tin or aluminum while all the other doors have a nice solid sound. Took a month to do the repair because Geico said the door didn't need to be replaced and they could just repair it which then they changed their minds and said it needed to be repaired after I dropped it off at the auto body shop.

I wonder if they ripped out some insulation and forgot to replace it. I dont know what the inside of the door looks like however. all the golf handles are the same as are the doors across trims just some differences between 2 and 4 doors.

Did you have to code it or set it and forget it?

I just plugged it in & sent it.

BCM “should” be coded to the battery for best longevity, but I didn’t have Obd11 at the time & it’s never crossed my mind again till just now lol.

So I could do this.

And yes I did the final torque with the car on the ground.

It makes such big difference. Enjoy.

went from -2° to -3° with some 034 Roll Center ball joints.
Swapped out some warrantied Superpro LCAs that solved a frustrating clunk issue that lasted a year+
Added a 034 FSB to pretty much complete suspension mods I wanted to do
And finally added the steering wheel which I never really planned to do but couldn't pass up the great deal from @Salami
After getting it installed can say it's a massive improvement vs the stock R wheel

Excellent beer choice, I grew up 30 min from the original brewery in Petaluma CA and they've always been a family favorite.

Nice. Thought that would be a great solution for a little more camber, but alas, not compatible with ST40 BBK. Oh well

HAHA!

just tell them youre talking to god im sure it'll be fine

Looks like he's talking to God's God.

BUSTED!!!! Time to paint the car a new color and change the plates

I had a buddy that did road tunes in people's cars and got out of a few tickets saying he was doing emissions testing for the EPA.

These comments just get better and better! Thanks for the laughs! Ironically, I was legally parked along the Colonial National Historic Parkway the day after my Starbucks incident and was approached by a passing Park Ranger. He stopped, no lights or anything, just to see what I was doing: "I just had to know what all of this stuff is about." He was curious, friendly, and affirmed that I was legally parked and not causing alarm. So, now that's three Park Rangers in this park that are familiar with me, including the dispatch supervisor.

if I had to guess their main concern is no one is impersonating a cop or mess with their communications so as long as you aren't trying to pretend youre a cop they prob let off the gas real quick and are genuinely interested
