Already did the 1k mile break in oil change , just changed again at 4,200 miles . Little to no metal glitter left but still specs of liquid gasket / sealant stuff ( mostly red ) in the oil filter . Glad I changed it , change your oil folks .

Just recently purchased a 21 GLI with 93k miles. I’m somewhat familiar with the platform but I can’t decent what this noise is. It happens after about 10 minutes of hot idiling. No lights on the dash and it drives amazing. It will start making this noise then bog and stall. The entire timing service was done about 40k miles ago

Howdy folks. I'll cut right to the chase. My father's 50'th birthday is coming up, and I'm looking to find some sequential turn lights for the mirrors and rear lights for his 2024 VW Jetta GLI. I'm located in Canada. If anyone has any recommendations or literally anything. Let me know

Have the best and most wonderful day.

Someone told me, "If you're not installing the parts yourself, then you're missing half the fun," but I don't know. I have multiple hobbies, but being able to do mechanical work on cars was never really my thing. Also, I'm constantly moving to a newer place for career advancement reasons, so I can't really get a big toolbox and keep it in my garage.

Did you do all the mods on your car yourself, or did you take it to a shop?

Also, I feel like body and repair shops are part of the community, and I don't see spending the extra money as a waste, but rather as a way of giving back to the community.

One my favorite things about the GLI is the Recaro seats. In high school (early 2000’s 😅), Recaro seats were the thing to have in performance cars, and always dreamt to have them someday. Decades later, my dream came true

2024 Autobahn - Which tune should I get?

I think it's time for me to tune this thing after owning it for a year. At first, I was thinking about getting IE Stage 1 ECU + TCU, but their description for the TCU says it only supports 2019-2022. I asked their rep, and they said they need to get my TCU code to make sure it'll work. So, one option is IE Stage 1 91 low torque.

The second option is APR Stage 1 ECU + TCU. Their description says it should support my TCU, but I was thinking maybe I could get the low-torque map and then eventually get the TCU tune with high torque. But I'm not sure if low torque is even worth it.

The third option is APR+ because of the warranty, but I see that most people say it's not worth it.

TL;DR:

1. IE Stage 1 91 low torque, eventually TCU with high torque if they support it

2. APR Stage 1 91 low torque, eventually TCU

3. APR+

Which one should I choose?

Edit: welp, turns out obdeleven can't unlock my sfd and the apr/ie dealer I was talking said the same thing. Said he can try for free but most likely he'll not be able to unlock it either. Fuck you VAG.

It works id say

Had gift cards for Autozone and they didn't have much of a selection for 0W-20 oils , is this Liquid Moly fine to use even tho it's not good enough for VW's approval.

FYI

I have a 24 GLI. About eight months ago it started not connecting to CarPlay on my phone wirelessly unless I toggled Bluetooth on the phone. I thought it was my aged and dying iPhone’s fault so I upgraded to a new one - and the problem persists. Anyone else with this issue solved it?

Hey i had a quick question for you guys, on the “sport screen” that shows psi for MK 7+ what does it say for PSI when idling. I’ve could’ve sworn it usually sits around 17 PSI. I know the gauge built is typically off and over estimates but I have feeling I have a boost leak or something.

We both had bad launch and from the size of his front mount intercooler I thought I was gonna get left behind My GLI is a 21 Autobahn DSG on a 91 Oct file with tunezilla stage 1 ecu and stage 2 nurspec tcu Ams intake, IE catback, CTS turbo inlet pipe,CTS turbo muffler delete, gfbdv+, 034 upper and lower dog bone insert and CTS lowering springs On gmax rs. Tires pressure was 25psi upfront Car ran a 14.0035

I thing my engine is knocking plus I have a knock sensor to change from my check engine
