    VW Detroit wheels w/ tires

    FWIW those rims arent worth squat. Maybe $400 to someone looking to go back to stock before selling. Not trying to flame your post just setting your expectations.

    Thoughts on Monroe Heavy Duty for GTI

    Thanks for the input everyone. It seems my next step is to call some other shops and get some quotes/input. I could probably tackle the rears myself but I'm not willing to dive into the fronts unless I had help w/ someone whose done it a few times.

    Thoughts on Monroe Heavy Duty for GTI

    yes, I was eyeing the Bilstein's. Sachs would be fine also. The point the shop was making is when you take apart the coil-over to replace the strut it never seems to go back the way you intended. I'm thinking I'll need to look at others shops. just annoying cuz the one is walkable from my...

    Thoughts on Monroe Heavy Duty for GTI

    Yes not sure if I want to go with Monroe’s, problem is most coilover sets lower the car which I don’t want to do. Maybe I’ll get the shop to do the fronts and track a buddy down to do the rears myself which will save 300ish. and yes I know the cars should be driven more. Having 3 kids under...

    2011 GTI with Check engine light needs help (P2015, U102F, U1030, P030x)

    Seafoam and CatchCan wont do squat to fix the Carbon Buildup. You should have paid them the $150 or so to get the carbon cleaning done. Then you would be good for 4-5years at a min.

    Oil in the air filter 😞

    Check out AEF DryFlow Filters. They are cone shaped but use no oil and are washable.

    Need Help With DSG

    I get that, I meant more with normal use and routine 40K DSG service intervals the transmission unit should last for about the life of the motor

    Need Help With DSG

    What does the clutch replacement cost on the DSG? I thought unit could last pretty much the life of the unit?
