Minding my own business heading to work on a sunday, traffic was light, next thing you know, this dude in a lowered V6 Accord rides up on my ass. Dropped my GTI into 3rd and just took off. He was trying to keep up with me, but just couldn't. I just couldn't believe how hard I was pulling on him...

A friend of mine recently was one of the selected few to go to an exotic island for the Campus Girls USA calendar that she posed for. 100% of the proceeds go to breast cancer research. I need your help. She needs to sell a certain amount of calendars and she's falling short by a bit. Can I count...

I've been driving my car for over a year and have never noticed this until now...when engaging the parking/emergency brake, it applies the rear brakes, but also applies the front brakes..At first I pulled up the lever quick and realized my foot that was on the brake and the pedal sank a little...

...And all I can say is WOW....I have a new found respect for the BMW product, from both a dynamic and production point of view. Going to a high performance driving school and visiting an automobile factory are two of the many things I have been wanting to do in my life, this experience...

GO HERE Here's a pic of her, she's a good friend of mine, she used to work for me, still helps me out once in a while...PLEASE vote for her! Thanks! P.S. She drives an Jetta IV...

I had to go down to Florida for a golf tournament that I am sponsoring through my company. I hesitated to get the plane tickets in advance because I wasn't sure if I was going to ultimately go or not, and by the time I decided that we would go, the price of the tickets were ridiculous ($500 per...

I took my car in to service last week but this time to the dealer I got my car from. I figured I was close to 5k, so may as well let them change the oil, and address the few issues I have with my car. First issue was the unusual urge for my car to drink the engine coolant like it's a cocktail...

I have my car for almost 3 months, this morning was the 5th time I had to top off the engine coolant in my car. The light came on once again on Friday, and I was planning on waiting until Monday to just stop in to the VW dealer to get them to just top it off. I opened up the hood this morning to...

I've been having some difficulty getting my satellite radio to work in my car. I swapped units with someone who wanted Sirius, I sent him mine, and he sent me his XM unit. He got my unit to work fine in his car, but I can't get his unit to work in my car. After a lot of attempts, XM is saying...

I swapped out my Sirius unit from my '07 GTI. The person who I swapped with had XM in his '06 GTI. I had: SIRIUS 8E0-035-593-H Software: H06-0080 I traded for: XM 8E0-035-593-E Software: H03-0080 At first I had a problem with the display saying "LOADING" for some time before actually picking...

Is this a common issue to a stock GTI and sound system? The vibrating is more noticed on the driver's side door than passenger's side. I do not play my music with the bass all the way up, but when I'm playing my music, one song you wouldn't hear any distortion, and the next one you would hear is...

I had a Sirius Tuner from my '07 GTI that I swapped for an XM unit. I have: 8E0-035-593-H Software: H06-0080 I traded for: XM 8E0-035-593-E Software: H03-0080 I plugged the unit in yesterday and it just said "LOADING" for a few minutes. I didn't pay attention to it in my 90 minute drive...

I got into my car this morning, the car sputtered a bit, then after a few seconds idled normally. As I put the car into reverse, notice the Engine symbol on the dash suggesting to "check engine". I took the car to my friend (independent shop) to see how serious the situation is, plugged it in to...

One of the reasons why I didn't want to get the Aero Kit in my car was because I planned to lower it had a feeling it might be too low with the kit. I was RIGHT. Most of you may harass me about it, but I don't have that time like I used to, to wash my car as often as I do. I mostly frequent a...

Eibach Pro-Kit, FYI I was missing a tool to install the RSB (H&R 24mm) to get it done last week when I did the springs, just picked the tool up this morning, will do the sway bar this weekend...

I was coming home the other day, the display told me "STOP! CHECK COOLANT-OWNERS MANUAL". I was only a few minutes from home so I waited until I got there to check. I got home and noticed that the coolant level is about 1" to 2" below the minimum mark on the reservoir. I called my VW dealer...

I took off my SC2's and replaced them with the Extreme Contacts. I had no interest in keeping the Summer tires when I need an All Season Tire. I didn't want to buy a whole other set of wheels/tires and change them every time the season demanded it, so I got the EC's. Before installing, I did...

I ordered a set of Eibach Pro-Kits for my GTI MKV from the Tire Rack. One of my friends have an account with Tire Rack (He has a tire/repair shop), so I pretty much got it wholesale....But the juicy FYI is that they have the H&R 24mm rear sway bar IN STOCK, but in one of their warehouses (In...
