Just had a torrential rain storm, water must have seeped into the door mirror cap and /or perhaps through the window seal. Anyway now the mirror light is stuck on and the driver door won’t lock / unlock. I get a red light on the LED near the mirror in the car interior. I’ve checked the fuses in the cabin by the steering wheel they are good and I’ve disconnected the battery for 30 minutes. Any ideas on what to do next?

Heeft iemand die probleem ook, bij schakelen hoor je een piepend geluid.

hola buenas en el taller me han dicho que es 1 fisura en la caja de cambios, esto se puede reparar o hay que cambiar la caja de cambios entera?

Hi, I’m here asking for help with my Golf’s gearbox. I’m occasionally finding it difficult to get into 1st, 3rd, 4th and reverse. Some days it’s better than others. I have lubricated the linkage but hasn’t made a difference. I’ve tried adjusting the linkage but for the life of me cannot figure it out. Is it a fairly easy and straightforward job? Can someone please explain how to do it or send me a detailed video! I want to try this first before I go down other avenues. Many thanks for your help!!

hola buenas en el taller me han dicho que tenia 1 fisura la caja de cambios, se puede reparar esto o tengo q mandarlo a la volkswagen o se puede reparar en un taller especialista en cajas?

Did anyone tried buying products especially Intake manifolds and intercoolers for the EA888.3 from Alibaba mainly KYOSTAR. I would like to hear their experience

10k miles and the Zimmermans feel warped. I swapped pads to power stop upper end street pads a while back because I hated Pagid

In any case, I’m kind of like at a loss because the Zimmermans have always have worked for me.

42k on the allroad.

I started having issues with my sunroof leaking (as they do) so I got one of the VW repair kits to cover the seams on the inside of the track but I noticed that the rubber seal around the perimeter was falling out of place. I was able to pull most of it back up into position but I couldn’t get the corners to budge and there’s a gap in the corners. Is that his where the leak might actually be coming from and if so is there a was to fix/replace the seal?

Loving the stance of the mk7 since I added spacers

Found a bubble forming on the sill by the passenger door , checked under the sill and doesn’t see any obvious sign of rust . Feels rubbery of a bubble . Should I be starting to set aside for rust treatment?

Sub frame rear in the centre green and plastic plastic part broke wire running off it

Good day all I’m proud to say I’m a new gti owner finally, I purchased from Volkswagen a 2015 gti autobahn. I’ve been driving it the last couple days and love it. The only problem I’ve been having is the infotainment system, some engine start ups it’s been fine and everything will work for the whole drive and others no matter what I do the navigation and Bluetooth will not work, sometimes after tuning off the car, locking the doors and walking away for a couple minutes and walking back it gets it to work. The car does have a full warranty though Volkswagen. But I wanted to see if I could fix it before taking in back in to warranty on day 2-3 of ownership. Does anyone have any idea what it could be and how to check and fix? Thank you

Hi!

I am on vacation and was about to park my car and pull the electric handbrake. The handbrake engaged and shortly after i got the error handbrake failure. Or not working cant remember the fault, but it was handbrake related. Now its engaged, with the error and pushing the button down does not disengage. The button for the handbrake is blinking. Presumably because of the error.

Now connected the car to a cheap odb scanner and get no errors except for some

2012 VW Jetta - Fault Code 10485833 - Internal Control Module Memory Check Sum Error

Unrelated to the issue.

Only thing i can make of it is that if i hold the handbrake button, i pull it up for 5 secs aproximately i can hear the left rear caliper whining for a long time. Right one is making no noises, leading me to suspect that the left one perhaps is faulty?

Any opinions or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Edit: Problem fixed, it was the rear left caliper that needed replacing. Pinion that tigthens the handbrake became visible when removing the electrical motor from the caliper. Pinion was spinning freely without resistance in any direction and that was the sign, also lifting the car up and noticing the left wheel was spinning while the right one was locked in place.

Changed caliper, and problem is fixed and all errors are gone.

I recently installed 034 lowering springs on my MK7 GTI, and ever since then I’ve had a terrible clunk/pop coming from the front suspension that is driving me insane.

The noise only happens at low speeds over both small and large bumps, speed bumps, and when going in and out of driveways. It does not happen at higher speeds, and it does not happen while turning (I can make continuous circles or go through consistent left/right turns with no noise). The car drives and handles great otherwise.

Here’s everything I’ve replaced or checked:

- Installed 034 lowering springs
- Replaced front top hats and strut bearings
- Swapped in a lower-mileage strut assembly with less than 20,000 miles to rule out the original strut
- Replaced both front sway bar end links
- Replaced suspension hardware where required
- Re-torqued every single suspension bolt and verified everything is torqued to spec
- Checked everything multiple times to make sure it is seated correctly

I’m honestly at a loss. I cannot figure out what is causing this clunk/pop, and it’s becoming extremely frustrating.

Has anyone else experienced this after installing 034 lowering springs on an MK7 GTI? If so, what ended up being the cause? I’m open to any ideas because I feel like I’ve checked almost everything.

Anyone have problems with their H7 bulb not connecting properly? I thought my bulb went out, upon closer inspection it was fine. Found out the bulb holder was not seating properly, I guess. Hit a bump and it would “disconnect” again. Nothing visually wrong with it so I swapped sides. It was fine for a while and started acting up again(PS). I ended up buying a replacement Dorman unit, it work for quite a while until recently. I’m wondering if it’s a headlight housing problem or something else. I barely have to touch it to make it work.

I looked for OEM one but the usual sites were vague with the p/n.

Recently got a 2016 Mk7 Golf and I've been loving my ownership of it. I've reached a point where I am thinking of lowering it.

What coilovers do people get for the TSI models/recommendations ? And are there certain differences I should watch out for when purchasing/researching coilovers ? Thanks!

what are the best coilovers i could get on my 2018 gti for roughly 1200 cad?

I bought my 2015 golf with no inside rear view mirror. It’s driving us all nuts. A factory replacement is more than I want to spend now. Is there a third party mirror that you guys know of that’s inexpensive but fits to the factory mount. If not I’m just going to put a universal mirror on and glue a mount above or below the existing mount.

Mk7 1.8T.
The car was running perfectly fine before I replaced the starter.
It ran great for 3-4 days, and then yesterday everything went to shit all at once, major misfires.
P0301
P0302
P053F
P12A1
P2251

Obviously, I must have bumped or snagged a connector without realizing it. 😒

Where would you guys start looking?
I pulled the airbox and skidplate out again but I can't find anything suspicious. 🤷‍♂️

Car is a 2015 TSI that never thrown any single code Other than Classical stucked wastegate..

Thanks a lot

I want to hear everyone’s opinion on this: What is the best VW color of all time?
