A few weeks ago, I opened up www.mqbtools.nl, which I will use to release tools I've made for our beloved MQB-based cars! The first and most useful one is the FPA editor (FPA = Fahr Profil Auswahl, which is Driving Profile Selection). You can use it to edit gateway datasets for your 3Q0 gateway...

Today I wanted to put my winter wheels on, but the bolts wouldn't come loose. I was able to get 1 out with a lot of pain and sweat, and the thread seemed damaged. I checked the other bolts with my torque wrench, and it still clicked at 210nm...wtf. What to do? I am afraid the wheels have taken...

I've been looking for the dashboard trim around the 9.2 display of the MIB2.5, in this design: So far, no luck yet... The part number is 5G1819728AG, but I can only find it in gloss black or satin black: If anyone knows the number of the "carbon" one, or knows where to get one... let me...

Hi all, For some time I've been investigating Discover Pro MIB1's and MIB2's and found several cool things. Unfortunately, I have a really old firmware version, 0343. I was wondering... does anyone here have any newer firmware versions to share with his/her fellow MK7 drivers? Thanks in advance!

Hi all, Does anyone have a wiring diagram for the outer rear led units? I found a lot of diagrams for retrofitting them, changing the original harness, stuff like that, but none of them actually say: purple wire = 12V, green black wire = brake signal, or whatever. Google wasn't my friend...

Hi all, A few months ago, I made this, with a lot of flexible silicone tubing and a K&N Apollo airbox+filter: It was a quick and dirty job, and a few weeks later I improved it a little bit, removing part of the flexible part: And another iteration, but I never drove that since I was...

Last week I got a Golf GTE. I've driven a '08 Scirocco and '12 Beetle in the past. On the Beetle, I built a sealed cold air intake, and after reading about the GTI intake modifications here, I thought it's nice to share my findings on the GTE intake. Image 1: Overview. The engine bay is pretty...

Hi all, Last week I got a Golf GTE. It drives like a charm, but there's a thing that has been bothering me. I bought it with a "Executive Plus" package, which means there's a Discover Pro unit included with DAB+, Mirrorlink and 36 months of CarNet. The Discover Pro is there, but all of the...
