    Front left dipped beam not working...

    Got this message when I turned on my high beam today, the message and the light is gone from the dash for some reasons, however, the front left HID light is now yellowish. Does that mean the bulb is fine and something else is broken?

    Is alignment really that hard to get it right?

    I've never had luck with alignment. I remember 2 years ago I got alignment done on my girlfriend's car(BMW 3 series) in a very reputable alignment shop with good reviews, however the steering was off center a little bit and had to go back for the second time, had the same issue after the second...

    What kind of glue is this?

    I can't seem to find anything about it... It's used by a body shop and this thing is strong! I think it's strong enough to fix broken bumper tabs.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    G12 coolant premixed

    I'm going to the dealership in an hour or so to get a bottle of coolant. It was 10F this morning and when I started my car, the low coolant light came on and went away in 30 seconds. I checked my coolant, it's under the min line, just called the dealership and one lady said I need to mix with...

    Rear driver side tire cupping

    Anyone experienced this issue before? On the highway the humming/rotational noise is very uncomfortable. Could it be bad struct causing this? I think it's called cupping/scalloping. My bro drives a MK6 Golf and is having the same issue on the same tire. Not sure what to do here. I'm...

    Would you consider an accident car.

    My friend is looking to buy an used CC 3.6 and found this car from an used car dealership(private but with good reviews from different forums). The problem is the accident was under $5000 which can seem a lot but not really a lot if the repair was done at a legit body shop. He says he doesn't...

    Hit & Run... is this serious?

    Some stupid person impacted my bumper while parking probably and left the scene. Little paint was rubbed off and the bumper looked a little weird on one side so I removed the wheel liner and found the metal part behind it was bent. Is this serious?

    Flashing CEL light?

    Today when I started my car, the CEL light came on for about 5 seconds and gone. Drove to work and never seen it again.. Should I be concerned? From my research, it's misfiring. Any ideas? Everything feels normal so far. Also can the code still be read with a reader? I still have my power...

    Do all experienced manual drivers drive smoothly?

    I've had my GTI for just little under a year now and I find it's hard to drive as smoothly as an automatic. Maybe I'm trying to drive to hard to drive smoothly thus making it even worst. Someday I have really good feel and I drive really smooth. Sometime I drive really bad. Feels like...

    Can C350 cleanly take over GTI?

    So I was driving to work today and this C350 pulled up to me and suddenly stepped on the gas and started going really fast. I didn't try to catch up or anything. 5 minutes after, we got to a light before a ramp to the freeway. The ramp is about 60M in front of the traffic light on the right...
