    timing chain settlement for Canada

    Did anyone receive a letter for this? Fortunately I had no failures, but I just changed mine since I was pushing over 90K and I did not want to run into further risks. I'm wondering if we can still get reimbursement for people who paid out of our own pocket to replace theirs.

    I just got a Apr catted downpipe installed and went into stage 2. I have o2 spacer installed. Would this be enough to pass emission? If not, what can I do?

    coil ignitions misfire

    So recently I had the misfortune of experiencing my coil misfiring while driving on the highway. I took it right into a VW dealership immediately while my car was struggling to accelerate. Anyway, they scanned it and said I have not one, but three misfires. I'm guessing three is not common at...

    Experience on owning a R?

    I have a MK6 GTI and considering trading up to MK7 R. I know this may not be the right forum to ask but I'm curious to hear from current or past owners what was it like owning a R from MK6 gen...especially in terms maintenance/cost repairs. I hear with AWD, it's a different beast which could be...

    Loose guard - body shop recommend?

    The lower exterior guard below the door(not sure what you call it) is kind of loose from the circle highlighted. This pic is just reference. It's not obvious but it is not fully attached upon close inspection. Does anyone know where is best to get this fixed?

    How to remove plastic hub centric rings?

    First of, does anyone use these hub centric rings on their VMR wheels? I bought a set of v810s and only just discovered they installed the plastic rings on my rear hubs when I removed my wheels. Now are there any tricks to remove these rings without breaking them? They're stuck pretty good but...

    VMR | Wheels Picture Gallery! If you have 'em, POST 'EM!

    Not sure if it's my imagination but I feel since I switched to these v810s, there's a bit more cabin/road noise when I drive. Nothing major. I also feel it's a tad less smooth than the stock Serrons I had before. Again nothing obvious to most people but wondering if anyone have similar...

    Which order - wheels or springs first?

    Reason I'm asking is, each job will be done by a separate mechanics and at the moment, my new VMR rims have already arrived and just waiting for me. Size wise, it's the same 18" as my stock. The lowering springs have not come in yet. Currently my car is already slightly lowered but I'm getting...

    Help me decide which wheels...

    I have a 2012 CSG GTI and looking to swap out my stock rims(which will be going for sale after btw) and I've come down to these options on VMRs. 1) V701 (gunmetal) 2) V710 (gunmetal) 3) V810 (gunmetal) 4) V810 maybe silver? First of, you think gunmetal is a good choice for CSG? Is the V810...

    Need advice: Hit in parking lot

    I was at a shopping mall and when I walked back to my car, I was shocked to discover somebody hit my front bumper and it was half opened/cracked. There was a note on my windshield saying a staff employee from one of the stores hit me and they're taking full responsibility. They took my...

    GTI ride quality before/after lowering car

    I just got my Neuspeed springs installed and I'm not sure if it's my imagination or my ignorance, but I feel there are subtle differences to the ride quality. First of all from what I read about Neuspeed springs, the ride quality should be very similar to OEM so obviously I wasn't expecting...

    Advice on lowering/springs

    I'm considering getting my GTI lower and really don't know much aside from my research online. I see H&R and Eibach are the most common ones and I'm leaning towards Eibach as I heard the pro-kit works well with stock struts/shocks, etc. Can somebody with more experience confirm this and anything...

    Bluetooth iphone cannot skip tracks?

    I normally connect my iphone 4s via bluetooth to my 2012 GTI, but experienced this suddenly where I cannot skip music tracks from my steering wheel or pressing from the screen display. Listening from my SD card, I can skip tho or if I listen to radio, I can skip stations. I also noticed if I...

    One person did agree to say yes to the poll. I like to hear their rationale.

    Poll: Would you charge car wash cost among your passengers after road trip?

    Well to no surprise, it's pretty damn clear what the consensus is. Not a bit surprised from the comments I read. I bet to many, the idea of asking others to chip in for car wash would never even enter their minds, let along asking. Personally I would not have the balls to ask and try to keep a...

    Poll: Would you charge car wash cost among your passengers after road trip?

    lol...it's actually not me...rather on the receiving end of this!! I was freaking livid when I heard this. I made this poll almost with the mindset of showing this to him one day. I still cannot believe this happened to me. The trip hasn't happened yet, but of course I'm no longer riding with...
