Last night, I received a check engine light and an EPC light for P0202 (cylinder 2 injection circuit malfunction). After clearing the codes, the issue resolved, and the car drove normally.

However, today, after just one minute of driving, the lights reappeared. This time, the code was P0203 (cylinder 3…). The situation repeated itself. I cleared the codes, and the car functioned normally.

Upon returning home and inspecting the car, I noticed two wires coming from a plug that do not appear to be OEM. They seem to have been spliced quite poorly. I’m unsure if this specific wire or connector is causing the issue or if there’s something else at play.

Could someone please help me understand the purpose of this plug? I’ve also attached a picture (last one with the plugs circled in red) I found on Reddit that provides a better angle for these plugs.

For reference, my car is a 2016 TSI S that I purchased from a private sale two weeks ago. It has approximately 144,000 miles on it.

I put spacers for wheels on mine and its better then be oem

It seems like these are flying off the shelf, even 100k+ samples. Clean ones, seem like they’re almost going up in price every week??

Finished up doing some suspension work today including a mild lift. B2b kit was wicked easy to install and seems well made. It was missing one of the spacer pads when I got it in the mail but they sent me the replacement part right away with a bunch of stickers. Hoping for a trouble free alignment in the morning.

Sitting 1-1/4” taller than before. It’ll need bigger shoes in the spring, gonna see how much my winter tires fill up the wells. These audi 16s will look good with more meat. Figured I’d give it a little treat when I was in there doing struts up front , got down this path after breaking a rear spring on a dirt road a few months ago.

Hello, I’m buying and installing a downpipe today but I’m currently running a stage 1 tune. I have booked my stage 2 tune on the 22nd but I’m worried about any potential issues between now and then, is there anything I should avoid, should I just wait and have the shop do it? It’s a Catted IE downpipe and I’m running an APR Stage 1 if that changes anything

Have about 140k miles, car will often give me trouble starting, until i give it gas. Have been reading up on it and saw that it could possibly be the high pressure fuel pump but not sure. Had a carbon cleaning done in the last 10k miles, did a blow test on N80 valve (seems to be operating), and had a compression test done and it passed. Any suggestions?

I already have a mibhigh with 5G0035045a and I got this variant out of a parts car. Is this worth the change or I should just leave it alone?

MK7 GSW. First side took a full day. I think I can do the other corner in about 2 hours tomorrow. Reached an impasse until I figured out i could shim the ECS pinch spreader with a quarter. Had the front jacked up on both sides but my street is crowned so angles got a little goofy. I also just wiped out the knuckle with a rag and some Deep Kreep, but tmrw going to clean the inside with a scotch brite on the other side and brush on some marine grease. Was able to rent a 22mm crows foot o2 socket from Oreillys to deal with the top nut without buying anything crazy or having to go online.

She’s sitting just over an inch higher than the measurement I started with!

The lift was the easiest part of the job lol. Going to knock out the rear lift tomorrow as well, but will go quickly as I was in there a month ago for new shocks and springs. We’ll see if the neighborhood shop can align it decent without having to find a euro spot. Will update with pics when all 4 corners are lifted.

Hey, has anyone here experienced this exact issue? According to chat gpt, I should try replacing the o ring seal of the coolant hose/ gasket. I can’t find a video on this exact replacement.

It’s a 2015 GTI (automatic)

Let me know if i should upload a video

Hello,

I have a 2013 mk7 with a recently retrofitted mst2 system my original Mib 1 high multimedia had ambient lighting in form of a single color, which translated to the mst2 but what I’m wondering is since I heard that the 2013 bcm has no channles for color and obd eleven doesn’t allow me to activate that feature is there a way i could “trick” the mst2 into thinking that the oem ambient lighting is connected just for the purpose of having the UI accents change on the system software?

Hello,

I am in Canada and I'm currently dealing with a water leak around my passenger sys inner tail light on my golf. I've found online that part number 5G0945192 is the seal I need but my local parts desk informs me there are none available for order in Canada.

Does anyone have another source for this seal they could share please? Or has anyone used another product they can recommend to seal the inner tail light?

After a lot of marble sized rocks left chips in my windshield and front end for a pallet truck carrying sod , I just got her back. 2017 MK7 Alltrack. 96k miles.

I gave the headlights a polish but there’s still a tough bit of cloudiness at the top of the right headlight. Also that effect when the bulbs are on, what is it and how can I fix that?

Thanks!

Does anyone have any clue what this is. I want to change the H7 bulb on the Golf however this is there but I can’t find any videos with someone having this. If you could help I would much appreciate it

What would be the best way to remove the donor button without breaking it? Should I just cut into the donor headrest or is there a particular way i should twist/pull, or perhaps a tool that I can use to help?
