    Rear Hatch Power

    Hi all- Like many others, I’ve found itself on this thread several times the past few years and also just like others who’ve posted here just got used to climbing into the back to release by hand.. I have pulled the backside of the hatch off more than once, you have to be very sharp with...

    Knocking/chatter sound low revs

    That seems very strange. Did you figure it out? How full is/ was your gas tank? ☺️

    Finally minimized transmission whine!

    Sorry for the very very response, this was a costly mistake on my behalf, the 300LS was immediately drained and replaced with MT-90. Thanks so much @vwengineer

    Faulty Sunroof, no longer opens or closes

    did you try resetting the switch? Once you have made sure that it is manually closed all the way push the arrow only and hold for a few seconds. And once it does go, use white lithium grease on the weatherstrip seals. Get the tube. Not aresol.

    Introductions thread (Part 2)

    Low end whine

    Hi all, I’ve not been driving this in the last year, I run it on a back road about once per month, the car was hit but did not impact this low end whine with rpms cominv from engine bay. My thoughts are pulley tensioner, or bearings in harmonic balancer(?) doesn’t affect drivability but it just...

    Finally minimized transmission whine!

    I read multiple reviews on multiple sites about how the MOTUL 300 LS is 100% synthetic and can be used both gear boxes and transmissions. I added one Liqui Moly 50 mL tube of MoS2 additive before the 2.25 L of Motul 300LS as I questioned my decision to get the *LS* - limited slip as well as...

    Manual Transmission Fluid Change

    More than one mechanic has recommended using a thicker weight to ail my grind into second gear from first and third. Any thoughts on the full synthetic Motul 75W-140?

    HID headlamps

    The three sets of D2S probably worked to begin with, the retainer clips were broken from previous owner. Upon further inspection I noticed electrical tape and even duct tape had been previously applied as well, then learned that the passenger headlamp ECM melted, process of elimination by...

    2007 MKV GTI 2.0T IDLING TOO RICH

    I did scan! Thank you for the responses. Going back to the last thing I did — adding too much coolant, I assumed was causing the engine to overheat itself on purpose to expel extra fluid but alas, the scanner takes the prize. Codes ( beginning with the letter P -0 ) 171 139 507 and, later...

    Replacing Fuel Filter--Getting DAMN clips off?!?!?!?!

    Following this thread and at 171K in 07 gti Fahrenheit, the vw emblem is on the fuel filter which leads me to believe maybe it was changed once.. the connectors have bonded around the lips on the main (middle) send and there is also some sort of breather line (?) so now my issue is that I...

    2007 MKV GTI 2.0T IDLING TOO RICH

    Hi all, My gti is idling high at 2100-2500rpms (I know!) then down to 1000-1200 then back and forth. I’ve read that it could be the pcv valve, a coil pack, or a vacuum leak somewhere. It doesn’t miss when it’s in gear and I’m not losing a significant amount of power It is a stock 2007 gti...
