    My GTI has a small coolant leak that needs to be tended to. However, I need to limp this thing along til after Xmas… I went to the store and bought some coolant to top off the tank… as I’m pouring it in I realized that the fluid in the tank is pink and the coolant I was pouring was neon green… I...

    Wheel hop ideas…

    I get a massive wheel hop when launching. Can this be corrected with a different wheel and tire? Or do I need something more aggressive with the front sway bar? I’m currently running Koni sport cup springs and shocks with Michelin pilot AS tires on the stock 18 inch rims.

    Oil Catch Can Cleaning

    The consistency of the liquid was much more water than oil.. so that tracks.. It is mostly short trips to work or running errands on the weekend. Ill keep an eye on it and be sure to check it more often. Thanks!

    Oil Catch Can Cleaning

    How often does everyone clean out their oil catch can? I have had mine installed for 3 months and maybe 1500 miles and it was already full to the top… does that seem normal?

    At what stage do you need to replace the clutch?

    I’m pretty sure once I get wider/better tires and reduce the slip I will roast the clutch.. so that’s probably on deck

    Koni cup kit from ECS?

    I am running this exact kit. The drop was a little more than I thought it would be. I think its much closer to an inch than .75. The top of the tire is flush with the fender and it looks good. The ride is much better than I thought it would be, but abrupt curbs and road imperfections can sting a...

    At what stage do you need to replace the clutch?

    Update: The Cobb tune did not take care of my CEL... I ordered a tune from Stratified that definitely did. So far so good with the new tune... the ol' butt dyno says the Stratified tune is a bit more peppy than the 1+ from Cobb and I haven't noticed any clutch slipping.

    Extreme Performance and Competition Tires

    Does anyone know the widest tire we can run on a MK6? Will a 235 or 245 fit on a 8.5 rim and clear? It didnt take much to overwhelm the traction of the front tires. lol

    At what stage do you need to replace the clutch?

    Thank you, everyone for your comments. I think I will see if the 1+ clears the CEL and if not.. then I will get a tan from that dang light until Im ready to change the clutch.

    At what stage do you need to replace the clutch?

    What started as a simple exhaust swap has grown to a turbo back. I am currently running a Stage 1 Cobb tune with a manual transmission and have access to the 1+ and 2 tunes. Will the stage 2 tune that came with the Accessport clear the CEL for the downpipe? and is Stage 2 too much for the stock...
