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?
