    08 GTI Aux cable

    I know there is a billion threads on this topic, however I can never find a solution on the forums. My GTI didnt come with an AUX port but like others it has an AUX option on the radio head unit. I took apart my glove box to see if there was any sort of connector that I was hidden. No luck...

    MKV GTI DSG symptoms

    I have 77k miles on my 2008 GTI, and being the 2nd owner I do not know when the DSG tranny was serviced. At 80k miles I think im going to go get it serviced. But when I shift it into manual mode and continue to shift or down shift, it seems to be a bit slow. Not .5 of a second quick as everyone...

    mazda 3 S (NOT SPEED3)

    Cruising through craiglist today and I come across this 2004 mazda 3 S hatch, I know it's not the speed 3 so it has almost 100 hp less. I think the S model only has 160 versus my GTI which has 200. Without a doubt I think my GTI is faster and has better performance, however this mazda (5speed...

    Mk5 GTI cold air intake

    Hello, Looking for a inexpensive but yet effective cold air intake. I do have the 2.0 T, I heard the cold air intake doesnt help with performance much due to that air is heated anyway through the turbo. But I also heard it will make your car sound awesome, which sounds cool to me! i have been...

    Need new brake pads, have questions!

    So a couple days ago my "check Brake Pads" light came on so i decided to start looking for some new ones. I have the OEM pads + rotors that came stock with the car (I so believe, I bought it at 70k miles so I assume so) I heard stock rotors can be soft and should be replaced with the new brake...
