Installed new OEM sway bar and links. Wow, what a pain that was. Dropping the subframe and pieces wasn't too bad in retrospect but getting the sway bar actually bolted in from underneath was its own challenge too. For the record, I reused the subframe bolts though other threads here note that...

Thanks for the response - we did this today and the fuel injector part was easy. We lifted the front end to remove the charge pipe and the bracket underneath, but discovered our car was missing the brace and I have no idea how it would be in there anyway. Hopefully it will be OK. For the...

So happens I'm doing my intake this week, in hopes of solving a cold weather start issue that throws a P2015 and rough idles. While I'm there, I'm going to replace the fuel injectors since it has 162,000 miles and I really don't want to have to go back in there if I don't have to. When you did...

No Bentley unfortunately, they were the best. But there are a lot of how-to videos on almost every issue and even as newbies to watercooled VWs, we've gotten a lot done without a manual. If you really want a manual though, the last Bentley was for the MkV which is very similar. I got one on...

2010 GTI has 160,000 miles and runs great except in below freezing temps, where we are getting very rough idles and misfire/intake leak CELs. Had engine carbon cleaned but didn't help - shop that did it looked for the leak with smoke machine and spraying carb cleaner but couldn't find anything...

Thank you for following up. Just wondering - how did you determine it was the harness?

Thank you for following up - I'm starting to see similar symptoms so I'm reading these threads carefully. Just to be clear - you had to replace the #4 injector twice until you got one that didn't leak? That's pretty annoying.

Finished flywheel/clutch/rear main seal job. Idles much smoother now. I added some notes to the DIY thread in the engine/drivetrain section.

Just finished the rear main seal/flywheel/clutch replacement on my 2010 GTI. If the original author of the DIY is still around, a big thanks. Two observations for future thread readers that I didn't see at least at first: 1. I did this with the car on jack stands in my garage, didn't drop the...

what I did to my Mk6 today - in the middle of a rear main seal/clutch job - car has 150k miles and was leaking oil like crazy. Was putting on flywheel when I decided the play in terms of "rocking" was too much - could hear metal against metal - ordered a new Sachs unit but will delay...

PghDan: Did you end up replacing the RMS? How did it go, and did it take care of the engine codes regarding the air leak? I ask because I'm in the same place with my 2010 GTI/150K miles.

Looking for a nice stock well cared-for GTI preferably Mk6 but Mk5 is fine. MUST be a 2-door manual with the plaid seats. White, Blue, Light Gray/Silver OK, no red, black, or charcoal. I'm in the Baltimore-DC area, if you're nearby and thinking of selling let me know. Thanks, Charlie

Plaid seats or leather? Where are you in PA?
