Final update, maybe. Fixed the front-end clunk with new endlinks. Installed 034 Street motor mounts and OEM strut bearings, job took over my life, things are going well. Traded it in for a '21 Genesis G70 AWD in June, installing an ECU to do ~420awhp as soon as it clears customs. Regret selling...

Woah

I need me a DSG GTE. Probably the easiest, zippiest car to drive. Sounds nice.

SOLD Looking to unload my winter set. I picked up a new 18" summer set so my old 17" summer rims will take the winter tires this year. They're 16x7" steelies (5x112) with Michelin X-Ice XI2's. They've made it through 4 winters and easily have one more, two depending on how hard you drive or...

$85 shipped. Just recuperating costs of troubleshooting my boost control issue (http://www.golfmk6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=103815). I took this out of the box, installed it, confirmed over the course of 3 miles that my issue wasn't a bad DV, uninstalled it and put it back in the box...

Actually it is an issue. Tesla have abandoned plans to install a network of battery-swap stations due to data recieved from their pilot program. People don't use it. With it went their battery leasing program where you pay per mile or charge on the battery and Tesla will periodically swap your...

^ I just talked to her about a leasing option. IMO you don't want to buy these cars outright. The batteries used in these are the same as laptop batteries. Although they will surely be treated better in the Tesla than they are in laptops, consider that in 10 years they'll likely need a new pack...

I love the look. Kind of like a bed sheet draped over a modern car. I do worry about stone chips on the front though.

This is still funny, 6mo later. DAS DORK WEENIE Sincerely, XGC75

Lately I've been having an intermittent boost control issue. I have some ideas but want additional input. Symptom: 1) At part and constant throttle, boost builds steadily on its own before being released by a DV actuation. I'm guessing the DV actuation is a result of some safety measures...

When cold my shift lever has been a bit squeaky lately. It's come on in just the past couple months. It feels as though it's rubbing rubber against wet rubber or something. Typically takes 5 minutes to go away, I presume because of the temperature of something. In addition the gates have been...

Is anyone else lamenting the loss of ULHs? Are you able to retrofit them onto the FA? A turbo boxer with ELH sounds even worse than a turbo I4 IMO.
