    Anyone notice a regen yet?

    So far in 7300 km I haven't seen the rpm above 797 at idle and no fans on, egts are around 200. When I had the CR Jetta in the first 1500 I noticed 3 regens and then about every 1000 km or so there'd be another. Sent from my SM-G900W8 using Tapatalk

    What did you do to your MK7 today?

    Added some rear bumper/hatch protection using plastidip instead of 3M clear. A bit hard to see but the matte finish looks great and will easily peel off should I wish to remove it. Sent from this Galaxy

    Warm up time

    As cooler weather starts to set in around this area I've noticed that this new engine seems to warm up considerably faster than previous models. When pre-glowing I've noticed the engine WILL NOT crank until the gp light goes out, something new on this generation. After about 10-15 km I have...

    Am I chomping at the bit?

    Getting the urge yet again to purchase after owning the '13 Jetta for just over a year. Some of the issues that I find annoying are worth the trade up to a '15 Golf; -no option to disable TC and in winter with or without snows it's a huge pain and somewhat of a safety issue for me . - AC: I...

    3M Paint Defender

    As an alternative to the high cost of the 3M film application at around $400 I found this and decided to give it a go. For around $26 you CAN achieve the same affect, only time will tell how long it lasts but for the price I can do this several times over. http://youtu.be/fi3hJYmtKR4 Sent...
