Hey everyone and happy Friday! Need some help with an electrical issue I'm facing. My passenger side door sill light and switches (lock and window) have not been working for a while now, but I hadn’t noticed until my wife pointed it out. I’ve checked the F39 fuse and it’s intact, pulled the...

Selling the stock downpipe from my 2017 Golf R. Was on the car for less than 21,000 miles. Located in Atlanta, GA. Looking for local pickup, but willing to drive to meet relatively nearby. $350 OBO. Thanks!

Selling my Torque Solutions Side to Side shifter relay, also called a "lever" by the manufacturer. Includes ECS solid endlink bushings (can easily be opt to stock or existing bushings). On the car (17 Golf R) for about 4 months and only a few hundred miles. $50 + shipping from 30324...

Hey all, I've been having issues getting my MT shifter aligned for the past few months. Mods to shifter: USP Solid shifter bushing (on front to back shifter) DG Side to Side lever (put super lube on the white plastic relay level slide - now cleaned) DG solid shifter bushing (on side to side)...

Selling my Prets and noticed this on the edge of the barrel. Wondering it it's just a cosmetic thing that won't be visible with tires, or if it will cause issues for the next owner.

Hey everyone, I've noticed my passenger side door controls are not working. Lock/unlock doesn't work (no lights either), window control doesn't work, and the blue lighting does not illuminate. What is odd is that my exterior door handle lock/unlock still functions. Based on this link...

Hey everyone! I got my emissions tested today so I had flashed back to stock, but before going back to my regular stage 2 tune I figured I would finally try the crackle tune (pops when letting off the throttle). I literally heard nothing different. I could feel the engine almost fluttering(?)...

Posting this after getting everything resolved (hopefully). Last night was driving with my wife and wanted to show off for a 3 series who was driving like an ass. I was in 5th gear, pulling hard and at about 106 I heard a loud "pssh" and felt like I lost all power. No error codes, so I...

Should be this kit: https://www.ecstuning.com/b-ecs-parts/vw-mk7-gti-golf-r-gen3-ecs-tuning-stage-2-performance-clutch-kit-with-lightweight-forged-steel-flywheel-1885lbs/015123ecs01kt/ I'm not sure when the previous owner installed, so it has at more 20K miles on it. Held Golf R stage 1 power...

Looking to buy a BMS pedal tuner, also interested in sprint booster (sprint booster would need to be for MK7 R, I think the GTI and R have different models). Thanks!

Hey everyone, Need some help approaching removing my ECU since I need to ship it to IE for recovery. Looks like it is riveted shut, so if anyone has a guide or tips on how to remove to covering and ECU itself that would be greatly appreciated (my googling efforts resulted in little help). I...

Hey everyone, 9/4/20 Edit: ECU was bricked, sent to IE and restored. Then the flash tool had a hardware issue so IE exchanged that and my car is flashed and happy. Posting this thread as a warning and will eventually follow up once I have a resolution. Callout: I'm an idiot. I should have...

Hey everyone! Just wanted to see if anyone has gotten any updates form 42dd recently. I placed an order back in June, after placing the order was informed their supply chain was set back due to Covid (totally understandable) and my expected ship date for my downpipe would be 7/24. I have...

Hey everyone, Just got the IE powerlink to tune my '17 to stage 1, and apparently it is a new version of the powerlink (v4). However I found an issue when connecting to the ECU while trying to install the tune. The car was ON with the ignition OFF as instructed, but the powerlink would not...

This GTI showed up at my local dealer. Looks like it was originally owned in Greensboro, NC. 2 Door TR GTI S. Has powder-coated gunmetal OEM Austins, catback delete, moderate tint, tinted taillights, and what appears to be a custom intake. Has ~19k miles. I currently drive a stage 2 mk6 GTI...

I'm upgrading to the RSR Clutch Kit tomorrow, so today is my last day with this weak ole thing. So... What should I do? Launches? Burnouts? Finally teach the friends that have been begging me to teach them how to drive stick? Nothing? Balls?

The choices are endless, but I'll give you some. Fast and furious Like a pro Minimal finger usage Like a jellyfish Upside-down Wineglass/Spock

So I was doing some research and stumbled upon unitronic's stage 2 software for the mark 7 GTI. 337hp is insanely impressive for a downpipe and ecu flash. I was also inspired to compare this to some audis of similar caliber. It slightly beats the s4 and s4 in hp and torque, but has 600-800...

I was in a bmw dealership yesterday and saw this poster but had no idea what car it was. It kinda looks like a z3 if it had a child with a Karma
