Why though? Hasn't VW already thought about this, hence the fan running and stuff after you turn off the car?
What did you do to your MK7 today?

I view the fan running as a safety net to bring the temps down to a safe level. It's not completing the process. I started doing this 3 years ago with my Passat. I've seen many problems at work with DPF problems on equipment and figure anything I can do to help the efficiency and longevity is worth it. It's entirely probable that most will never have any issue or even be aware of anything.

AutoZone, Napa and the like. Even Amazon. Around $150.
Yeah.
I'm going to be refusing that recall when the dealer proposes it. Improving emissions necessarily means harming either fuel economy or performance (or both).
Besides, there's no emissions testing here, so there's no defrauding occurring.

Do you think that these would work on the non-SEL models?

Scan your car with VCDS and we can tell with certainty based on what door module you have. I suspect not but that's not factual. I know it works on SELs because I have them on mine.

This was in August, I just kept forgetting to post it. I tinted the all the windows and I went with a LLumar ATC 20% and debabged the car.

Had the winter wheels installed today. 195/65-15 General Altimax Artics on steelies. Also removed the roof rack bars for going through car washes during winter.
Looks like none too soon. The forecast is for 3-5" of snow on Saturday.

Ordered hub caps like this for my steel wheels:
Part # 5N0601169XRW - intended fitment is the Tiguan, but the bolt pattern is correct.
Should protect the hubs a bit from the nasty salt junk we get on the roads here...

Hard to tell from the pic, do you have hub end caps on there, or just the wheels?

The centres are the axle stubs. I was surprised to see that the rear ones have an Audi "OOOO" logo on them.
I got the setup at an aftermarket tire supplier, but the wheels are a prefect fit. Practically a press fit on the axles and clear the brakes probably by less than 1/2".

Hopefully TireRack, because that's where I got mine!
There is a VW part, actually for the Tiguan that covers the hub and lug bolts. Priced a little high in my opinion.

Do tell. I am interested in doing this to my golf sometime in the future. What are the differences you feel?

A big difference, feels much stronger than advertised. If I didn't have traction control, it would blow the tires right off!

How much stiffer are they? I love the handling of my H&Rs, but the ride is a little harsh for my old tired back.

They are very noticeable stiffer. The ride isn't too harsh..also the roads I drive on suck! But on good roads the drive is amazing!How much stiffer are they? I love the handling of my H&Rs, but the ride is a little harsh for my old tired back.
