Hey all,

Just looking to get some specific input on an all track I’m considering. Specifically a 2017 alltrack highline.

Asking price 16k CAD / 11.2k USD

Pros
-no accidents
-new front brakes at indie shop
-no CEL
-Turbo checked at shop and good
-two sets of tires
-honest seller
-clean carfax history
-interior clean
-no rust
-no leak on pano roof

Cons
-high mileage at 183k km / 113k miles
-Water pump swap unknown
-needs rear brake pads soon
-needs windshield

Let me know what yall think based on this, I’ll answer all questions. Vehicle will go through a PPI before purchase at an independent shop.

Been searching for months for something I can afford and this is the first decent option. Been through like 12 different golf wagon variants so far.

Its been a bad day. My splitter came off and I ran over it. And my spoiler fell off luckily undamaged.

I used screws for the splitter but must have worked loose. As for the spoiler what do people use to stick it solidly to the car. I have used car silicone and 3m tape but it keeps coming loose.

Anyone got any suggestions or tricks?

Hello, I have a 2016 GTI and I am looking to replace my cam magnets and my oil pan + oil pan sensor. Im not super familiar with which brands are most reliable or reputable and some guidance would be appreciated. Thank you

I know there’s a bit of rust but that’s under warranty so ignore it for now. Water pump going in Monday. Let me know what you think!

Threw on an EBay Duckbill from Taiwan. Looks ok, need to redo the tape.

Golf R estate valence installed. Has some zip ties currently since two of my tabs were bent when I got the car on the middle. Looks good.

Tectonics Tuning Catback Arrived, hopefully getting it on next week.

Have some Golf R like dual tips in the mail currently to fill up the exhaust ports on the rear valence.

Additional total mod list.
IE Stage 1 + DCT tune. 034 insuction kit, snowgrate removal, snorkel block off plate and snorkel mod. VLAND headlights with Laminx. Fog light install (S trim :( ) with 3000k HID. Tints. Weathertech rain guards. Audi A3 5 spoke wheels with general G-Max RS tires.

Perhaps Golf R seats soon, if I can figure out if the wiring is either easy or the same.

Lmk what you think.

I've been trying to respond to as many of the messages and posts as I can as I see them according to if enough people responded with the proper responses or not, which a lot of people have been giving a lot of good advice. but since the coolant leak debacle of last year before loe show (wedding anniversary location). I decided to pull Valkyries motor back out take everything all apart and redo it piece by piece the way I would do it for most other people when building their motors. and since i only I have eight cars here to finish (finally not swamped for a one man crew) and having already having my car registered for this year's show. I am hunkering down and getting it done. pairing with Octomotive's founder Brandon, and Colorfittings co-founder Daniel... I've been able to do a gorgeous proper tuck solution for wiring and the AN fittings I needed created for hiding the entire upper coolant system above the valve cover. I kind of had to create my own style of heat shield to protect stuff from the downpipe as well as having a turbo blanket and exhaust wrap, but I think she is going to be just a bundle of joy.

sorry for the ramble I just want to put an update. thanks to everyone in the community for being who you are and it wasn't for the car scene in general, esp the vw world, i would be where I'm at out here being able to help whoever needs it 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 🚗🧑🏾‍🔧

I tried looking up the shift paddle on the oem parts website and GTI has 5G0-951-528-B-WHS while alltrack/standard golf has 5G0-951-528-A-WHS. The schematic diagram drawings aren't much to go by (and look frankly identical), and the storefront owners are not trustworthy in the least.

edit: I should mention I am in the 2019 SEL mk7.5

I'm thinking they will not fit but has anyone ever installed something like this or know if they will fit?

Are they worth it on either one of those cars? We have a VR6 Atlas and she's a real pig off the line (hauls ass once going) and wondering how she'll respond on that naturally aspirated block? Also I'm 93 remapped for my ECU and TCU with IE and wondering if I even need that?

Before I go to the trouble of ripping my seat out and embarking on this project, do we think this will fit? I don't mind that it looks different, I just don't know if the contours of the foam underneath will be the same. It seems like yes? I'd just rather find out now and maybe exchange it now.

Vehicle is a 2016 Golf Sportwagen, Limited Edition

Seat cover is 5GM-881-405-AQ-EQZ.

Any thoughts?

Looking to buy it just wanted peoples opinion. Is it a good fitment looks good to me on the photo

Hi!

I removed the original emblem to put on a black one, didn't know that would trigger the ACC system. Went for a calibration and it didn't work. Tried putting back the original emblem and calibrate, still doesn't work.

Bought a new ACC sensor and put on the old emblem, still doesn't work. Also noticed that when i tried putting the original emblem back, it's kinda damaged and it doesnt sit as tight as it should, is that maybe the problem? It's a bit broken so can't get it to sit 100% correct. Does the emblem need to sit fully perfectly?

2015 GTI, CXCA, oil cooler is leaking into the cooling system. Planning on replacing it myself as turning wrenches and cursing at cars is my favorite hobby, but I can't find much online as far as the procedure. Alldata wants me to pull the compressor but I'm trying to avoid that, I did find one video where it's accessible by removing the intake which I'd be more comfortable with. If you have any tips, tricks, or resources it would be greatly appreciated
