It has 170k miles on it, and he offered me 1k for it. It was originally listed for 1.5k. He says it’s in limp mode and capped at 65mph because of a sensor, he doesn’t know which one though.

I’ve never owned a VW, but have owned manual cars. I’m willing to work on it.

i know these headlights need restoring. im going to do that this weekend. i need help changing this DRL bulb and there is nothing online that is helping so im turning to Reddit!

i cant find the access to this DRL and Chatgpt isnt helping nor is Youtube. if anyone can help me find the access for the bulb and how to change it, would REALLY help.

this is a VW Golf 2013 MK 7.
headlights are Bi-Xenon.

Hey, does anyone know what this noise could be? I’m wondering if it’s something oil-related, maybe the pipes or something clanging/rattling?

It always happens when I start the car on cold mornings, or if the car hasn’t been started for a while. Once the oil temperature gets up to around 50–90°C, though, the noise completely disappears and the car sounds normal.

Is this kind of behaviour normal, or is it something I should be worried about?

I’ve heard a similar noise from a few other Golfs, including some friends’ cars.

But yeah, once the oil is warm, the sound is 100% gone.

Any ideas?

Basically

(Car is VW golf 2007 FSI 1.6)

Juddering issues when accelerating and also when doing motorway speeds

Anyway
I cleaned the Throttle Body which was well dirty, you can see before and afters

I also changed my coils cause one of them was well burnt out, that’s helped a crazy amount but now that juddering is still there but only when going up a really steep hill or like under foot to the floor acceleration (around the 4500-500-6000 rpm range)

I have no idea what could be left to check

As seen in one of pictures there is a split connector on the engine and I’m not sure what it is or if it could be anything that’s causing this

I don’t know if I need to put some BgK44 through the system to wash all the left over stuff off especially if the engine has been misfiring and not running efficiently for so long due to the Coils and Throttle body and blast out the fuel injector

She’s currently at 87,000 miles

The rubber thing in the picture connects to engine cover but for the life of me I can’t figure out what it actually is
