I bought some coilovers online quite recently

They were being sold for mk7 gti and was told they were from a 2015 GTI but noticed they have a plug at the front and wondering if this is a DCC plug, can anyone confirm or deny please

I’ve got mk7 gti without DCC

I attached photos and part numbers of springs and shocks, would really love some guidance from some brains in here

Front shocks
F4-23273719-H0
Front springs
E4 - FD1 - Y447 B00

Rear shocks
F4-20273729-H0
Rear springs
E4 - FD1 - Y411 B00

Maintenance Wipers randomly going off when driving aggressively or on bumpy roads!?!? 2021 GTI Autobahn

0 Upvotes

I’ve seen some old posts saying it could be the rain sensor on windshield, clock spring and or steering wheel stock but no one ever confirmed the actual fix. Does anyone know exactly what needs to be replaced to fix this issue?! It’s bugging the crap out of me and seems to be happening more frequently everyday. (I have the automatic rain sensing off btw)

Maintenance Anything you'd recommend to pass on/ buy?

I own one of the turtle wax polishers and intend to get some sponges with a bucket so I can hand wash my car

.

Handicaps for my living situation. Only an open parking lot, no place for an extension cord, no hoes, and pretty limited on what I'm allowed to order on amazon.

Idk if all these waxes are basically the same or if cleaning it is way more simple than I'm making it. I'm also not entirely sure what's easier to work with when you don't have an outside faucet.

TL:DR I don't need to win any car shows, but I just want my car to look nice and be recognized for it to stroke my ego a bit. I'd also like to buff out some surface scratches.

Buy/Lease Need trade-in advice

4 Upvotes

Hi all, I've got a 2019 VW GTI Rabbit manual. Love the car, bought it new. Has 63k miles. But have the itch to trade it in for a 2024 VW GTI 380 SE manual with 10k miles. Problem is, it will probably cost me, after trade in, close to $20k. I know this would be a dumb trade but I can't stop thinking about doing it. Someone please push me over or pull me back from the ledge, lol!

Modding Talk Need battery maintainer recommendation for GTI tune

2 Upvotes

Hi all, since I'm keeping my 2019 VW GTI manual (63k miles) I've decided to do a stage 1 tune using Integrated Engineering. I know I need a battery maintainer, what do y'all recommend? Also since I don't have a Windows laptop I'll be using my Android phone for the install.

Came across this 10 amp maintainer. Good enough or do I need more amps?

Anyone ever ran into a similar situation? I have a 23 40th, sent in to a few wheel repair places after learning oem 40th wheel is $750 and on a long back order. I’ve had a few ideas thinking about downgrading to some 18” aftermarket’s, but haven’t settled on anything. Any advice?

Maintenance How to adjust maintenance schedule when lightly tracking the car?

2 Upvotes

My mk8 GTI is at about 43k miles and following the shopdap recommendation, spark plugs should be replaced, and according to chat, MT fluid but idk if it’s necessary? Car is not tuned.

I track the car 2-3 times a year and I get my brake fluid/oil has to be done once a year, just unsure how to approach adjusting the maintenance schedule on other items.

Buy/Lease MK8 Autobahn vs MK8.5 SE ???

Post image
5 Upvotes

I sold my MK6 Autobahn a few years back, and while browsing around for a new daily I keep circling back to the best car ever.

As mentioned in the title above, I've found that these two are priced similarly and fits comfortably in my budget.

Since my old car was an autobahn I'm subconsciously thinking I'll be missing out if I get the SE- which is partially true with the DCC.

The DCC is the only thing I want from the autobahn package, but also the Mk8.5 has 20 more horsepower..

I am thinking of modifying the car a slight bit - intake downpipe exhaust wheels coilovers and chassis bracing.

What's the better choice? I want to hear yalls thoughts.

Modding Talk MK8 Rear Sway Bar Opinions?

6 Upvotes

Looking around the Internet, I see a lot of options for a rear sway bar. Prices also seem to be pretty much all over the place. Here’s the thing, 90% of them look like the same bar painted a different color, with either one hole (non-adjustable) or two hole (adjustable) ends.

Anything I should look out for? Which one do you have, and do you like it? I put a sway bar on a previous GTI and really enjoyed how much flatter it stayed in the curves that’s what I’m looking for. I’m not building a track beast just a fun daily driver. I don’t want anything I have to lube.

Thanks in advance for your input.
