So, early last week, the CEL came up on my '06 GTI. It hadn't been running well for a while, felt down on power, and idle was rough. It went into the dealer on the 14th, and within hours, I got a call from the dealership informing me that my cam follower had completely warn through, and the fuel...

I don't like it, but it looks like the GTI will have to go. If you're looking for one, you will not find a nicer '06. 67,xxx miles, 2 door, DSG. I'm now asking $14,500. Heres the full ad: http://seattle.craigslist.org/kit/cto/3011194042.html Please feel free to PM me, or reply to the ad if...

A while back there was a build thread for a custom grill made by one of the forum members. It was a combination of the GTI grill and a slatted grill (ie Jetta, Wolfsburg, R32). It looked similar to this one on euroautosport's car: I've been searching for quite a while and I have been unable...

Yesterday morning my dad was driving the car and the CEL came on. We drove easy the rest of the day although nothing seemed different. I drove the car today and also didn't notice any loss of power or anything different. CEL comes on as soon as you start the engine and doesn't go off at all. I...

Hey guys, I have a 2006 GTI, and Im wondering if there is a way to show your current speed on the MFD? I've seen photos where it has a little thing on the bottom to show speed, but I've looked through all the menus and I cant find an option or how to do it. Is it only on the newer cars or...

Hey guys. This is my first post on the site but I've been coming here for a while to look at all the neat stuff you guys have done to your cars. Anyway, I was thinking of upgrading the body styling of my 2006 GTI. What i ultimately want to do is get an APR 3" turbo-back exhaust with the quad...
