I‘ve used a wooden wedge between grill and bonnet. With a 10mm open wrench I was able to unscrew the bonnet hook.

Installed some Meyle HD trailing arms. Mainly with the idea to improve the impact noise going out of sunken-in (max 1“ deep, with sharp asphalt edges, vehicle speed 50-60kph) man hole covers. Tremendous improvement! This loud and unhealthy clunk into the rear body structure is as muffled as...

Well, I have had binding noises on one of my multiple suspension iterations before. Top mounts and bearings (ending E) new, new bolts, everything installed after spec. Many trials later I went back to the bearing that doesn’t have the multiple holes underneath. Was able to see witness-marks on...

Lower row with 6 pins: - #3 brown ground - #4 parking light - #5 brake light - #8 turn signal

Looks like you have intermittend issues with the left headlight. If the main beam is out other light don't work either. I might be wrong, but the one common thing between all light functions is the ground. - Have you checked the headlight 14-pin connector yet? Any signs of water/corrosion at...

Attended another mandatory work safety training over the weekend. On Saturday we had everything from rain to Sangria. My favorite setting for this: Ioniq 5 N drifting Sunday got canceled due to perfect weather for performance summer tires

I have had these 3 Eibach Pro-kits on my NA '17 GTI SE DSG. The ride heights are actual measurements from my car (center of wheel to fender). My favourite set is the R set. All have been installed w/ Bilstein B8s. Pro-Kit# Front springs Rear springs Ride height Front [mm] Ride height Rear...

Same here. Always had these cheapo de-pinning boxes. Guess what, the most used ones always broke too early. Finally I bought the Hazet one. First comment of my wife: why didn’t you buy this tool way earlier?

FWIW I'm using Hazet 4672-1 2 pins 1mm x 0,5mm. Center to center about 2,4mm apart from each other.

Noticed some steam on certain occasions, area looked a little bit dirty. Preventive action. Observation: OE plastic looked fine, only O-Ring a little bit flat and too big for the grove.

My mom‘s VW up! had the check engine light on. This didn’t look factory: Had to extend the wires because they were hacked up in several spots. And then I found this ashole A rat got stuck in the engine bay, and eventually passed away.

While you have the bumper cover off check your vents for leaks.

Hey Don, Unfortunately this is not legal in Germany, and you won't pass TÜV inspection. Every light that is installed needs to operate "after" the books. About 25 years ago my MK2 failed inspection because I was running used big bumpers. They came with front fogs, but I haven't had time to wire...

As far as I can see on your pictures the adapter harness is wired like this: Unfortunately it won't work without modifications on a NA MK7.5: - Cavity 8 (=turn signal on ROW cars) on Outer-Left and Outer-Right is not populated on NA MK7.5s. NA MK7.5s use the brake lights as turn signals. - BCM...

My car made similar noises. I've used WD-40 silicone spray to "soak" the rear end bushing of the lower control arm. It has been quiet for a long time now.

Same issue here. Ran into it last year on my ‘17. Replaced it with the facelift plastic/rubber version (don’t have the part number). No need to take fender and bumper off. Take door out and inner fender. Enough room to remove, clean and reinstall. Picture was taken before new piece was...

Got the alltrack plate for cheap from a wrecker. Had everything laying around for weeks. During the preparing for our next trip to Italy I took the time to finally install it. 2 days later, on a snowy mountain road in the alps, all over sudden there was this huge truck wheel well ice block in...

You could set "Bremslicht" in C20, but w/ Dimmwert CD20 being 0 you won't have a brake light at all most likely.
