I've been getting a "STOP! Check coolant! Owner's manual" warning sporadically for a while now. I decided to finally swap out the coolant expansion tank as I assumed it had something to do with the sensor. Swapped it out, went for a drive, and got the warning again. I have appropriate levels of...

So fucking irritated, some ass decided to not yield to me as I was going straight when the light turned green. Turned right into me. RIP in pieces. :( http://i.imgur.com/ixWEzEW.jpg

I've had my 09 GTI since the fall of 2008. Currently I have 130,000 miles on it. It's been running OK in the past with some minor issues, but right now i've run into a potentially expensive problem ($2k+ ABS module). I am curious to hear experiences from those of you with high mileage MKV's...

Thoughts about the cause? This was after first ignition after filling up the tank. It's been acting weird for a few days. https://youtu.be/Fs5MZWDGdo4

I have a 2009 GTI with 100,900 miles. I have been getting cold start misfires for a little bit now (P0300, P0301, P0302, P0304) and now I am also seeing a P2015 (intake manifold related?) pop up. I am bring my vehicle in tomorrow to get it looked at, but I want to get your guys' opinion on what...

I have a 2009 GTI and was affected by the DSG recall and received the upgraded 100k/10year warranty below. Does this cover misfires and possible replacement of ignition coils? Anyone know...

Here's what happened to me today. I was driving on the highway when my PRNDS started flashing. My car started behaving as if it was stuck in a gear in DSG Manual mode. It would shift at very high RPM and shift down at very low RPM. I had to drive (slowly in the right lane) for a bit before I...

What's a QTM and what do they do? I am having warranty work done to fix a busted intake flap motor (09 GTI) and they said they are having a VW QTM look over their work.

Hey guys any idea where to get my springs installed in southeast michigan?

Hey guys, I ran into a pothole last year so one of my winter rims is busted. Tire is fine. Aside from aesthetics is there anything that can go wrong with the vehicle if I have 1 rim different from the other 3? Size would obviously be the same as it would fit the tire... Rim, wheel, whatever.

Anyone have one of these? Any good? http://www.diecastfast.com/diecast/DCF/PROD/VW/DC124-GOLF-BLK Other colors also http://www.diecastfast.com/diecast/DCF/CTGY/VW

Ok, I slammed into a pothole with my 16inch aluminum rims. The tire itself looks fine but the rim itself is bent and cracked. Should I switch all my tires and rims back to my 18's until I get it fixed or can I just use the spare? That would leave an 18 and 3 16's. Also, Belle Tire said they...

Would you trade your heated side mirrors for a heated steering wheel?
