The quality/finish are great, though slightly thicker than...

I've done a tonne of reading about decarbonising the inlet on my GTI and was resigned to the fact that the intake manifold would have to come off to do it properly.

Hi - I was looking at removing the intake and cleaning the valves on a 2007 Golf 2.0 FSI.

165 bar rail valve
Wagner IC

Hi guys.

Just wanted to see if anyone knew of some good places to get custom interior carbon fibre parts for the mk7 golf R? Besides the shoddy places like Ali express, Amazon and eBay, don’t trust their quality.

I’ve found heaps of places with exterior parts, but...

My new B8 Alltrack Wolfsburg was leaking strong exhaust fumes into the cabin, unlike my wife's Mk7 GTI, my previous Mk2 Tiguan Comfortline, and my Golf Alltrack, which are/were excellent at automatically blocking fumes coming into their cabins. My wife suffers badly from chemical sensitivities, particularly...

G'day all,

Long time visitor and finally decided to register. I'm not a newcomer to VW ownership as I've had a yellow MK5 GTI Pirelli (Stage 2+ 212kW @ wheels), blue R36 Passat wagon, and my wife has a yellow GTI Pirelli. And now I've added a 2013 Rocco to the list.
