    MK7 VWR springs/vent pod/wheels/lights

    they were awesome. Made the car look 100 times better without the wheel gap. on smoother roads the ride was almost stock feeling, handling felt better since the feedback was more direct. Rough roads would hit a bit but this is true with any shortened suspension. Installation is about 3...

    Mk7 golf TDI DPF/EGR DELETE

    Eagerly waiting to see what you do here. Looks very exciting. I'm dreaming of a CR190 turbo now. I have no experience with AWIC intercooler modifications, but I bet that a larger volume of fluid in that system (bigger tank) and faster flow of fluid would make a more efficient unit without...

    Free MT6 wonder mod: OEM bleeder delay removal

    thanks for posting that. I'll be trying this in January when my car goes under the knife for mods. I find that if I'm making a quick off the line start sometimes my clutch release doesn't exactly match my foot movement. I installed a pedal spacer which helped a little bit but I am thinking...

    NewSouth VentPod Boost Gauge Install

    Nice write up. I didn't want to drill a hole in my intake as well as wanted to read post intercooler boost so I installed my line in the little hose at the top of this picture. I only read 24psi max, guessing either there's decent pressure drop across the intercooler or our gauges aren't...

    Milltek Performance Exhaust Systems | VW MK7 Golf TDI

    I wish you well, I'd like exhaust options myself. Check out this video if the above picture doesn't make sense. 14:06 is the start of the exhaust area. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1SwwbJ-f-8

    Milltek Performance Exhaust Systems | VW MK7 Golf TDI

    the milltek website has the same kit part # listed for the GTD. Looking at the ECS pictures of the pipes themselves, these won't fit the DEF/torsion beam cars. I hope I'm wrong here. http://www.millteksport.com/exhaust.products.cfm?variantid=1442 it appears based on the pics that the kit...

    NHTSA Update on CR HPFP failure investigation

    Maybe that's why they tried to sell me the same car as Keffer for $4k more, gotta pay the large note on the fancy building. Don't get pulled in by the big shine, that makes no difference to the product they sell.

    Comparing VW dealer accessory prices

    I found my local dealer has good prices for stuff, however I haven't shopped there since deutsche auto parts is also down the street. I'll spend my $500 with the dealer on service stuff for my fleet, sorry Paul. http://www.keffervw.com/service-parts/parts-accessories-estore/

    Volkswagen's Clean Air Act violations on 2009+ TDIs spark huge recall, investigations

    I find this topic very interesting and I'm going to wait before taking my '15 golf in for a recall when it comes out. I'd like to give VW the benefit of the doubt on these accusations of a defeat device. Since I'm a programmer, I'm going to put myself in their shoes for a minute and write a...

    How to tell if your TDI is in regen

    you can monitor the cat temps with any obd based tools. I use an ultragauge to know when I'm in regen. In the summer with AC on it's hard to tell based on idle & fans.

    Seatbelt light and chime...

    mine would come on sometimes with a heavy object in the passenger's seat. I just coded it out in VCDS so no worries.

    rattling noise around 2000 rpm

    just got back from the dealer. The tech test drove the car and identified the noise. He then started poking around and found one of the plastic covers under the driver's footwell area was assembled wrong and was loose. He repaired and couldn't duplicate. I put 20 miles on it since and can't...

    rattling noise around 2000 rpm

    mine's going in tomorrow morning. I'll post what the dealer says. I drove my car 200 miles today and played with varying speeds/revs. The noise starts for me at 1500 rpm with 7 psi of boost. The noise gets louder with revs & boost, up to 2400 rpm and up to 20 psi of boost. In some gears at...

    rattling noise around 2000 rpm

    my fuel consumption keeps getting better too. Not sure if it's due to the engine breaking in or the warm weather or both. I frequently get over 50mpg combined driving per tank now, on trips I've seen as high as 63mpg with the cruise set to 65. I have to think that my noise isn't normal diesel...

    rattling noise around 2000 rpm

    I've been experiencing a weird rattling noise that is getting worse over time. It only happens on a warm engine, the oil temp has to be over 185 and cat temp > 500 F. Under moderate engine load (25%-60% throttle) there is what sounds like an exhaust buzzing from 1500rpm to 2500rpm. Getting...

    powering up of infotainment unit?

    mine reverts to the last known state, if it was off when I stopped it will be off when I start the car. Usually it stays on so it will power up when the car starts without needing intervention.
