Be careful using the term “idiot proof“ these days. It seems there is a whole new generation of super, inconceivably ignorant, idiots out there willing to defy previously idiot proof mechanical procedures. Just last week went to Firestone for track alignment as everyone on here endorsed their...

Mine (with 5400 miles) very rarely will see 12psi or more. I think I’ve only seen 14 once and I give it opportunities to impress me daily. I think I’ll get out the manual and give it a shot.

I was considering purging my cooling system this weekend. Have you tried it yet?

My 4BW found the new set of sensors on it’s own without any tools or menus. It did take a short drive for it to occur as I think the original sensors being in close proximity in garage could have been confusing things.

Thanks! You we’re correct, everything cleared and works as it should. Now I’ll just give the check engine light a few days.

Set appointment for Firestone lifetime alignment, removed factory brake shields and installed Cadillac provided track ducts and shields. The trouble began today after I bled the brakes. As others have instructed, I disconnected the battery first and then bled the system with my Motive power...

Congratulations! No sunroof or gold calipers here but everything else including dealer same. Enjoy!

My local dealer (Genesis St. Clair Shores, MI) was able to match the much better pricing I found online. Just showed them my phone with a cart of lube and their pricing.

Weather in MI finally allowed me to put factory summer tires back on. Thought I’d change up the look with silver Apex wheels leaving the cold weather tires on original wheels on the premise that the factory powder coat might hold up better to snow, slush and salt. Is it me or does the silver...

5x120 is correct, the 72.56 bore BMW sized wheels work. Our bore is either 66.9 or 67.1mm. I found conflicting info on this so I am not using hub centering rings. The 60 degree conical lugs will center the wheel as long as you or installer are careful. I am using the APEX brand EC7 wheel in...

The sizes are correct but offsets are 28 front and 48 rear. Search for a thread on here called Winter wheels and tires.

Photos B1 and 6 look most accurate. The closer-up images are appearing quite blue in that lighting. Shadow will definitely do this IMO more so than most of the other color choices. There is a good amount silver metallic flake in it that really changes the coloring depending on lighting. Mine...

Welcome! I don’t live near you so I can’t help with getting a close-up viewing but I can give you reassurance you are making a very good new car choice. I too have had a MK7 GTI for the past 6 or 7 years. Definitely a fun car that I thought I would own longer. Always thought it was the more...

Curious what tint percentage you used on side windows

It’s 14x1.5mm unfortunately. It’s no coincidence factory setup is 9 revolutions. :(

My set of Apex wheels arrived this week and I was concerned with the amount of thread engagement my lug nuts have. The factory wheels allow about 9 full revolutions of the lug nuts whereas the Apex wheels are thicker and only have about 7.25 turns. (Even less at only 5.5 turns with the front...

Mine is difficult to shift for the first couple of miles of driving in Michigan winter weather. I am waiting for consistently warmer temps to determine if trip to dealer is necessary. Honestly, after the first couple of stiff gear changes, my attention always shifts to watching the oil temp...

Are you able to install rear center caps? Just curious if there is some sort of interference or you hadn’t gotten to it in your photo. Thanks

Are these results with only a tune, or have you made intake and/or exhaust mods?
