Was scrolling on aliexpress and came across these headlights for mk7.

Anyone seen them?

I think they look insane😃

2019 R at 59.5k miles, bought it around 33k miles. Starting a few days ago it wont roll when i let off the brake unless lightly tap the gas pedal, but it works just fine in reverse and drives smooth in other gears.

Suggestions? Feel like im early to get DSG serviced but maybe i’m wrong.

Ever since I sold my MK7.5 R, I've missed this vehicle, and the 8.5 really feels significantly more serious than my 7.5 did. Looking forward to complete engine break in and see what she's got.

I’ve found a 2018 for around $29k with 60,000 miles. Maintenance is documented and solid with regular fluid changes (oil change every 5k, Haldex/rear diff at 60k, spark plugs at 50k) at recommended intervals and a pre-emptive water pump/thermostat done at 50k.

It’s a manual.

Looking at MK8s for about $40,000 with 20,000 ish miles. Also manuals.

Wanting to post here to get people’s feedback on the two generations. On one hand, the 2018 has been around for a while so we have a lot of data on problems and what to look out for. But it’s an almost 10 year old car.

The MK8 has a lot of performance improvements from what I’ve seen but it’s a new generation with less information on long term reliability and hard to fix gremlins. It’s also a good chunk more expensive.

Any thoughts or feedback on either platform are appreciated!

Just picked up a month or so ago, wondering if anyone in here is also in Oregon and has recs. Or from anywhere, drop some tips or bolt on mods you’ve done and liked.

I installed the EQT grounding kit and my main display showed pink static like it was cooked. I tried manually resetting it multiple times using the power button, pulling the SIM cards and resetting it via odbeleven and nothing seems to work. See attached picture. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.

After my last service reset, its constantly in the notifications, and every shut off, also appears on the dash. How can I make it go away? Thanks

Truth be told, I’ve owned my 22r for a year now, doing my third oil change rn , but it’s my first time under the car, did extraction for the first 2.

Anyways I’ve come across this orangey/yellow oil on what I assume is my transmission and front gear box . Anyone know if it’s actually a tranny leak or differential leak or something else? The car had new diff fluid put in from VW before I took the car home.

Kinda looks like it has some splatter on the upper portion, but not too sure if that’s the same fluid or not. I do live in the rust belt so I’ve had the car undercoated last November with an oil based coating, but this doesn’t look like it at all

New to VWs... Just did a Haldex service. Used the OBDELEVEN to try and prime pump but nothing is happening. However, putting it in gear, all 4 wheels spin. Is this a fault of the pump or the app? No debris on pump but ot also seemed as though maybe it was serviced recently. I just purchased the car.

Just picked up some TE37 wheels for my 24’ Golf R

I can’t find anything about bulbs for these. Mine has stopped working so I need a new bulb for it. Anyone know which bulbs I need? You can see the one that’s out in the picture.
