    "Turn Signal Clicking" while pressing throttle

    What's happening is every time the RPM needle passes 1000, a "clicking" sound comes from the area near the head light switch. It sounds similar to a turn signal. This has happened only two times in the last year or so. This time it started while stuck in stop and go traffic. It did not go away...

    Strange sound while shifting

    I have 6 speed and recently it has developed an odd sound that I can only attribute to something being loose. I did install the autotech insert, so at first I was worried that it had somehow loosened but it seems fine. The sound is like a faint "plonk" or "tonk" after the shift as I'm pressing...

    Turbo Oil Leak

    Well, I did an oil change and I was going to install an Autotech mount insert yesterday. But then I noticed some oil on the turbo. I'm no expert and can't tell you the exact location, but there was definitely a drip forming on what looks like a seal of some sort. Looks like an electrical...

    Where to buy oil?

    Hey all, I'm planning to drive down to Seattle this month and was thinking about taking advantage of our strong Canadian dollar by buying some oil for my next change. I was thinking Mobil 1 0w40 specifically, and I know most big box stores do not stock this grade these days... Any advice on...

    License Plate Frames and bolts

    The minute my GTI landed on my driveway I had the screw driver out and the dealer frames off my plates. They look incredibly tacky, advertise the dealership for free (the ass end of a car is primo ad space with someone following you on the road), and look out of place IMO. Even a...

    Hello and welcome. Introduce yourselves here

    Hello. I've been following this forum for a couple weeks now and finally picked up my CW 2010 GTI the other night. I love it. Coming from a 2009 Subaru Impreza 2.5i (now the wife's) and a 95 Golf GL before that. Bringing back the VW love.
