And in one of those threads, I'm pretty sure I recall someone saying their dash cam saw the VW dealer tech using an oil extractor.

pumps seem to be a VW/Audi thing....I doubt it matters enough to prove either way.
unless it's a DSG running Non-Top Tier Premium fuel.

God forbid you dont drive a manual or like to have the soundaktor on haha. Especially if you break in your engine above 2k RPM and change the oil at the 10k mark. All sins punishable by death. Right next to pumping oilpumps seem to be a VW/Audi thing....I doubt it matters enough to prove either way.

MBZ factory instructions have been to use an oil extractor since the 90s. The dipstick tube is designed to not need a straw. Our shop extractor just plugs right in to the tube. Crazy Germans.

Did check the torque of your bolts? I had a vibration issue after rotating tires and it was a loose bolt. Tightened it up once and never loosened again going on 5K miles.

Look up AMMO NYC on youtube... some of the best detailing vid's out there. I use his "lather" product and microfiber for most the interior.
Do not brush anything on scratch-able surface (paint, glass, plastic, etc) without some sort of lubricant. You might as well be using sand paper at that point.
FYI, Rag Company or Obsessed Garage for great microfiber deals/quality. Obsessed garage has a good youtube channel, too... very detailed.

Plexus. Amazon has it, motorcycle shops have it - commonly used for cleaning windshields and face shields by bikers. GREAT stuff, though pricey.

On my cluster I use a light amount and wipe it with a cloth that's made for eyeglass cleaning. Regular microfiber will still scratch up your cluster with super fine scratches. Avoid it! I don't know what kind of stupid easily scratchable plastic that VW seems to mandate the cluster OEMs to use, but this has been a problem as long as I can remember. Meanwhile my BMW clusters have always been super durable - use anything on them, and you never see fine scratches. Weird and annoying.

Here’s a stupid question: I just bought BC Racing coilovers for my mk7...(20k on the odometer). What, if anything else should I be replacing to make sure the installation goes smoothly and correctly the first time. Thanks in advance fam

Picked up a 2016 SE with the lighting package on Saturday! Nicest car I've ever owned. A couple questions. I have the MT, why does it display 3->4, 4->5, 5->6 sometimes? Where I live 87 is the only thing available. It's a 1.5 hour drive to 91/93. Are there any tunes available for 87? I realize it's not ideal but it's all I have to work with.

recomended shifts (mostly based for mpg) not sure about 87 tunes but 87 is all you need. there will be a bit of a HP bump with premium.

Cool, that's kind of what I was thinking. It's still easily the fastest car I've ever driven, so not in a huge rush to upgrade but still looking for ways to get a little more power out of it. Picked up a clutch stop already and am considering a boomba shift knob to make the MT a little nicer. The stock one is reminiscent of my 72 Chevy 4 on the floor.
