    Adding coolant to 2016 TSI 1.8T Golf

    Add G13 mixed 50%/50% with water. My guess is that you have G13 in your car. I have used G13 in four Golf mk7 since 2013. G12, G12+ and G12++ are former versions all possible to mix with G13. G12...G13 don't need to be changed. PS used G13 in a 1.8 TSI also (Alltrack 2018).

    close call in flooded parking lot - what to check?

    As"riceburner" says... Check the insulation felt under the carpets. You or your workshop have to loosen the plastic door sills inside and press your/their hand under the carpet to feel the moisture /water if there are any. Besides from that I believe you will be fine.

    Golf Mark 7 2.0 TDI - electronic parking brake adjusment?

    As golfdave writes, there is not any adjustments to do regarding electric handbrake. Just the winding function needed for replacement of rear brake pads (or other details). Have done it my self several times on Golf 7 using VCDS. /Peter

    Over rev manual

    I had a MK7 R 2014 for 4 years. Did the trick with putting it in 2 gear instead of 4 from 3 on a track day. The tachometer showed about 7500 or so, didn’t totally released the clutch pedal, quickly pressed it down. No other impact than a fault message something with overrev. in engine module...

    Oil consumption w/ hard turning and braking

    Nothing wrong with your plugs. Looks normal. Threads are black since there are nothing to block the exhaust gases to get there. Also normal.

    1.5 TSI Evo engine problems

    Mainly forum visitors from US….. Could be :). Many writers don't say where they live. At least I can't figure it out from 2-3 letters in "Location". @arnw Since I also own a Seat Leon Cupra I am often on the UK seatcupra.net forum (a forum not just for Cupra, also for other models). I have...

    Performance air filter testing

    It’s nearly impossible to find a balanced review /test of how different filter alternatives filter micro “dust”. If somebody say one brand is “crap” I doubt there is an advanced technical test behind the words… /Peter

    Performance air filter testing

    I have used JR and K&N oiled filters over the years in different VAG cars. Haven’t found any debris / fine dust in the intake channels after the filter. I analyse it in detail! What about BMC oiled filters compared to others? Where do they stand, do BMC filter smaller particles than K&N? If BMC...

    Toyota camery rear bumper (observation)

    With the design of the Camry does it matter if you have a dent or two? …..Makes no difference. Have never owned a Toyota.

    Golf R Extended oil consumption during track days

    I have experienced extended oil consumption during “hot” track days with hard heavy braking. I use oil with spec. VW 504.00/ 5w-30. As someone mentioned on this forum “if you don’t notice high oil consumption in Golf GTI/R on track, you don’t brake hard enough…” Last track day I visited was...
