I have been seriously considering a 2009 mk5 GTI and everything on it seems great, but the previous owner has lowered the car and the ride is too stiff for me. If I bought the car would this be easy to reverse and if so how much would it cost? Also is there anything specific I should watch out...
I am getting a rattle on the passenger front suspension on bad roads, so when I was tracing an oil leak on a hoist, i saw this...
The spring has, i don't know, flattened over itself? :wtf2:
I have never seen a spring do this, but I assume the spring is beyond repair and with the front coil...
Hi All,
I have a stock 2008 MkV with 50k miles on it, and not long ago I noticed a grinding noise sometimes, only when taking left turns. I looked behind the wheel and I noticed some green on a black tube (sorry about the lack of proper terminology). I don't know if it's the green underneath the...
Hello! New guy here looking to learn about VW's! I had a few Beetles way back but have ignored them ever since. However after trying to compete with them in my 328 BMW IS I'm finding out they are quite a car. So I'm considering buying one once I have more info about them. As to what are the best...
Pros and Cons? Anybody. Do you have them on your vehicle? Would you suggest another route at a lower price? I want performance not looks. I have very much "spirit" when driving. Thank you
So I finished installing my Bilstein shocks and Neuspeed springs yesterday. I turned the car on once I finished the front (back was still untouched) and I got an ABS and Traction Control light. So far they have not turned off/flashed. I am thinking that I may have broke the ABS sensor. However...
What's up guys I've been getting this clanking/loud heavy clicking constantly over bumps especially uneven pavement. If the road I'm on is real ****ty it will clack constantly until on smooth pavement. It's coming from the bottom entire front. All the way from left to right. If I turn back and...
06 Mark 5 gti. 140k (I know). Decided to try raceland ultimo coils, been on for 10k or so. Yesterday I replaced both drive Axles and upper strut mounts and bearings. Went smoothly aside from the sway bar links being a major pita. I stripped my m6 on the passenger side link, driver side like...
