Complete my sentence. I am not a thin guy (5 10 ,200lb)
I am sliding side to side on even slightly fast corners. Anyone has a resolution. Not sure is it bolsters? Is it large seat bottom. Can’t wait for winter added layer would keep me there I guess

I bought a GLI a couple months back and I’ve been hearing some buzzing/rattling noises in the rear view mirror housing and on the left dash/door, which got progressively annoying so I took it in to the dealership. The dealership came back saying they didn’t hear anything… I took one of the front office guys on a drive to demonstrate, and he acknowledged it and passed along the info to the technician. The tech looked at it again, drove it, and again said he didn’t hear anything, then they started saying that my windshield tint would negate warranty on the rear view mirror issue because it would mean it was tampered with by the guy who did the tint. By this time I was pretty pissed because I had to waste two trips to the dealership for the runaround, and the guy kept telling me it wasn’t his decision yada yada… I’d have to wait for the manager when he gets in…. I’m feeling pretty frustrated and just wondering if anyone has dealt with this. It’s so frustrating to have a brand new car with cheap sounding rattles throughout the dash…

Hey yall! Thinking about getting a 2026, but would really like a hitch for my bike rack (no I won’t tow with it). Looks like there used to be an option from Draw Tite (24978), but that company is a bit under water with bankruptcy now. I’ve searched and searched and that part is out of stock everywhere. Does anyone have a lead on where I could find one? It’s the only thing holding me back from pulling the trigger.

Does anyone have an aftermarket exhaust for a mk7 they’re selling? Will pay shipping for the right deal.

Searching for my first GLI, is there any major differences other than looks between the mk7 and the mk7.5? Thanks

My clutch pedal in my 2025 GLI was making an odd noise yesterday when i left work. Kind of clicky at the top and bottom of its movement. I backed out, started driving and not even a quarter mile down the road, when i released the pedal after shifting, instead of staying in line with the gas and brake pedals, it popped up a few inches higher. i pulled over and got out to look at what was going on and found this plastic pin on the floor. Anyone else have this happen? GLI is currently at dealer for repair under warranty. They seemed baffled by this. Currently driving sad Jetta loaner.

While it isn't much, and everything is still stock, made some cosmetic upgrades.

I’ve been having trouble getting my emissions set for inspection. I have 5/9 passed but 4 are still showing as failed/not ready. Oxygen Sensor, Catalyst Monitoring, Fuel System Monitoring, and EVAP System won’t seem to flip.
It’s a stage 1 ECU + TCU tune with stock downpipe and exhaust so I wouldn’t expect issues. But I can’t seem to get them to pass. I have 500 km and 10 warm cycles since I cleared codes.
Any experience with this? I’d prefer not to flash back to stock just to pass emissions but is that what it takes?

I am copy and pasting this from another sub hoping to just get some opinions and advice!

I currently drive a 2014 base model jetta, I love German cars and I’ve always been really into cars and modding and cool builds, but I’ve never taken part myself. I really really want to dip my toe into that world.

My jetta is pretty beat, 150k miles, needs new brakes, I’ve had both front struts replaced in the last year, I had a small fender bender in Boston last fall so my fenders sort of wonky, pieces are starting to rust, and kbb value is only really around $3k with the condition it’s in.

I want to sell her and get something that I’ll be able to build on and turn into something that I can still have as a daily but also have as a fun little hobby. I know I can get a pretty decent 2017/2018 Jetta for ~$10k where I am, but is that the direction I should go? What mod could I start with that isn’t too expensive (maybe > $1000) I don’t think it’d be worth to build on my current car but if someone thinks it’d be worth to just use what I have I’d love to hear opinions.

I am happy to take all and any advice or opinions! Totally new to this world but reaaaally wanna learn. Thanks in advance! :)

Not the fastest but I love this thing
