Long story short ended up selling her for cheap on facebook, but I have a lot of left over parts the buyer wasn't interested in because they were just going to rebuild her and flip her OEM. Here is a video of all the parts as well as a list below of a rough price estimate I'm looking for for the...

Yeah I didn’t expect them to go out so early I’m at 64000 miles

So attached is a video of the ticking. You have to listen a closely over the normal engine noise but you can hear it pretty clearly. Hard to pinpoint where it’s coming from. https://youtube.com/shorts/is-GgEBgiIg?feature=share

Yeah she was 100% warmed up, wasnt sure about the spec tho. Appreciate the reply, must be whats wrong then.

Update phase position at -4.02 I think that’s fine correct me if I’m wrong

Hey, I have an audible ticking coming from my water resovoir side of the engine bay whenever I give it a little throttle, the higher in the rpms the faster the ticks are. I've tried figuring out the problem myself for a few days now, but I have compression in all cylinders, no bad logs in the...

Sounds great in my opinion, some drone at first, but yesterday I put on my turbo outlet pipe and my throttle body pipe and it sounds better? Maybe just allowing for more flow opened it up a bit idk. Sounds good, love it though Give me a until later today or tmw and check my joevw22 build thread...

yeah i think its setup for there turbo back, not to switch between different brands. worked out in the end and only for $5 extra dollars and some time

Ended up getting a 3" to 3" connector and cut the flange appreciate it bro! way easier

Hey, I got a XForce CBE for an amazing price, open box. I currently have a 3" CTS DP w/their 3" midpipe, at the v-band where the midpipe and the XForce connect I have nothing that can connect the two 3" pipes. The XForce has a 3" with a gasket while the CTS is just a cut off 3" pipe. Anyone ever...

Hey, my GTI is currently in rough condition. It has scratches in the finish all over, areas where sap has fallen on it and altered the finish, lines in the finish, etc. I was wondering if any of y'all have had your 2-door GTI's paint corrected and if so what is an average price. Also, if you got...

Always trying to stay on top of everything maintenance related :) I've done some extensive research on Uni vs APR and it's sort of a standstill, but I'm sorta leaning towards the APR K04 kit and tune. Also, I'm within an hour drive of an APR dealer

After looking around, think I'm going to go for the Unitronic K04 Kit with their Stage 2+ tune. Going to finish up getting an IC, catback exhaust, discharge, and a chargepipe prior though. Appreciate your help again!

a savior, really appreciate it!

Hey I lost a bolt nut while working on my car. Can anyone tell me the part number for that or size? I’ve been scouring all night to find one. It’s the control arm nut near the driver side tire. Had to drive it home 5mins and was super sketchy, lots of noise.

Really appreciate this list, very informative! I just was wondering would you recommend a dyno tune or an off the shelf tune? I have a local shop called "SoloMotorSports Atlanta" and they dyno tune for $800

Hey I have a pretty good stance on what I want done on my GTI within the next year and a half, but one thing I’m stuck on is the turbo. I’ve gone through countless pages of people arguing over what big turbo to get and I can’t decide. I figured I’d ask y’all and ask you to check out my build...

Appreciate the help, I decided to go in with a buddy of mine and buy the $200 plug. He needs his new throttle body recalibrated and I wanted/needed a lot of shit done w mine including temp check. $100 each and we're both happy so it worked out good in the end :)

Looking at this if I can DIY it https://www.amazon.com/ScanTool-OBDLink-USB-Professional-Diagnostics/dp/B005ZWM0R4/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=obd2+to+usb&qid=1613761546&s=automotive&sr=1-5

Hey, I'm going to go change my transmission fluid, got everything I need, but I'm a little nervous because everyone's using a VAGCOM to check temps for drainage. I was wondering if there's a cheaper solution like buying an OBD2 to USB dongle and using their free windows program? Would that work...
