    What did you do to your MK6 today?

    Ever trace where your old ride ended up? Just went down a rabbit hole for fun only to find her here... :( https://carsfromwest.com/en/lot/copart-63779262-2011-volkswagen-gti-turbo Based on the tacky stickers on the rear glass & that intake, def some punk ass bro bought the car after me. It'll...

    What did you do to your MK6 today?

    Posting this as a posthumous joke since I don't own mine anymore. But, I got an email notification from Carfax that the next owner just did their 120K oil change at a Walmart on Friday. 😒 For some reason, I still have full access to my car's history (I wonder if it's because I'm the 1st owner)...

    FS: OEM Hella LED Tails + DeAutoKey Turn Signals - NJ/NY/CT/PA

    Saddens me to say but I've moved on from my GTI and have some leftover parts to sell. DeAutoKey Front Amber Turn Signals - H16 Bulbs - Only a few months old, very bright during the day & a quality product. This fit my halogen headlamps, but I think it fits on the OEM Xenons as well. $45 OEM...

    Roof Bars

    OEM is loud without fairing and cuts down the MPG a little bit. So highly recommend getting a fairing with your set up. I'm about to experiment with Thule Evobars, but is significantly more expensive than the OEM bars. I think OEM bars can be had for $299 new and the Thule with the whole kit...

    ROLL CALL: Who is still here from 2010-2011? - even if you just pop in for fun to re-live old GTI memories.

    I felt the same when it first was spied, I hated the pinched face front. But like the new 4 Series beaver fangs, the exterior of the MK8 has grown on me. However, I kinda hate that interior. It could just be pictures but touchscreens aside, it looks way more plasticky than either the Mk7 or...

    ROLL CALL: Who is still here from 2010-2011? - even if you just pop in for fun to re-live old GTI memories.

    not the most vocal or active member, but joined summer of 2011 after getting the car in May and still alive & kicking on here (as is the car). I was more fervent in my college years in modding the car but nowadays as someone else said, it's more to read up on something if it breaks...

Was dying intermittently leading up to then and fully died the morning I was about to go on a car trip vacation... My car sat unused for a few weeks at a time at some points in recent years + went through...

    Exhaust shop rec?

    Anybody have a good exhaust shop to rec in the northern half of NJ/NYC-metro area? I once enquired with a Euro tuner shop that I've worked with before (https://redlinespeedworx.com/) about cutting out the resonator and/or muffler/straight pipe my exhaust and they were... professionally...

    Tail lights yellowing from the inside?

    Mine as well.. from the inside it appears. I guess nothing lasts forever sadly. Mine are about 8 years old.

    OEM vs Replica LED Tail Lights - A comparison

    I've been rocking OEM Hellas since.. 2013? Though I respected the hustle that Ed put through his products through the 2010s, I was wary of aftermarket and the burnt LEDs. Not to say OEM wouldn't result in burnt LEDs either (i've seen plenty of 09-11 Audis with the early chunky LEDs that were...

    Official NY/NJ/CT/PA Regional FS/FT/WTB/WTT Thread

    I have a set of immaculate Detroits that came with the car that has been stored away in my basement for years now. Rims only. Was thinking $450, prefer local to tri-state. Not sure of interest since we all got detroits when we bought the car lol.

    The end of a decade for me and my GTI, tomorrow she is gone.

    Did I read this right? 330,000KM = 205,000 miles?? DAMN! Did you encounter any major issues during this period? Congrats on the new purchase and the next chapter of life. I've been in a similar boat of consideration, but purely out of superficial want and not out of need.

    What did you do to your MK6 today?

    Yikes and I thought I had a rogue problem. Basically the anti-pinch activates and the window retracts and stops right? My moonroof would occasionally do that too.

    What did you do to your MK6 today?

    Oh yah my front end (hood + bumper) is not pretty after 9 years of use. I kinda gave up on it and called it patina. But my father's CC seems to be significantly harder. It takes me FOREVER to paint correct even with an orbital buffer and a decently abrasive polish. Which is a good thing. Still...

    The Random / "Stupid" Questions Thread

    My comment was half made in jest in light of me trying to get that Audi. But that said, if the TOB is really bad, isn't there a chance the clutch fails to engage/disengage?
