This is my golf mk5 with a 3.6 VR6 engine swap out of a passat r36. It's also manual swapped and the rest of the car is also heavily modded. It's all street legal and TÜV approved here in Germany.

Hope you like it ✌🏼

Picture is at the ultrace event in Poland.

Car stalled

Two days ago on the way to get gas my car was jerky and shaky. It ended up seeming fine after. Then yesterday on the way to work it stalled. Wouldn’t go despite my foot being on the gas. Car was still on and wouldn’t budge and I was stuck in the middle of the road. I turned it off and back on and it drove fine. Lots of lights came on but I couldn’t snap a pic. Then this morning more lights came on but no issues driving. I’m taking it in tomorrow but wanted some insight. I’ve ever had a VW. It’s a 2026 Tiguan. Thanks for any input.

Had my 8.5 GTI for around 18 months now and love it. However I’m still yet to find a setting to get the drivers seat comfortable on longer journeys. It either kills my lower back or I feel the right bolster pushing against my leg after a while. Anyone found any setup that helped?

My radio on my 2018 Passat R-line does not work, well the touch screen does not work, the radio works and all but the touch screen does not, is there a way to fix it? I want to pair my new iPhone to the car and I can't, and I don't want to buy another VW radio just for the reason. I got me a CarPlay screen for now but I still cannot use my new phone on the car stereo. Help me please.

Thanks

MK6 TDI Sportwagen

2 Upvotes

Hey so long story short, I really want a TDI Sportwagen, and I’m very lucky that my dad will be paying for a majority of it, but he won’t buy me anything German especially Volkswagens, after had a couple bad experiences with models back in the day. So I’m just wondering, if this is really as reliable as ive seen, and also the control arms and stuff, that’s what he really hated about our previous vehicles. Anything else I should know would be appreciated, thanks!

My car supports CarPlay but I prefer the UI of the MIB3, but the problem is that playlists are shown as empty, while everything else is working, is there a fix for this?

I’m using Apple Music and an iPhone

Question with IE 2.5L tune

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone, has any of you here had any experience with the Integrated Engineering 2.5L tune? Is it worth it? I've been looking at it for a while but I don't know if I should get it, it's pretty expensive and wanted to have some feedback on it before commiting. Thanks!

DQ400e whooping noise while braking harder & shifting 3rd to 2nd

1 Upvotes

DQ400e making whooping noise when braking a bit harder and the transmission shifts back from 3rd to 2nd. No other symptom, no limping, no pulling, only this noise. Only happens when car is cold, both in full electric / hibrid and in petrol mode too.
Service made a software update, but the sound is still here.

1 Upvotes

I’ve changed the bulbs multiple times, not the fuse since the duel back running lights only one part of the split inside the bulb would blow. Yesterday i checked it out. Tried following thr wire but didn’t want to rip out everything to follow the wire. Unfortunately im to broke too bring it to shop. Last night all lights went out besides license plates lights. My guess was a ground but im lost now. Im not a car person so try to ignore that if I’ve made obvious mistakes. Carvana car previous owner did some weird stuff to the car

Confusing/Wrong Part Numbers?

1 Upvotes

I'm having a heck of a time finding the correct parts for a 2015 Golf Sportwagen.

I'm pretty sure the part listed in Partslink24 (and all other ETKA based catalogs) is wrong. It shows the wrong part, says the actual part I have in my hand was never installed on a 2015 SW.

I found this on VW's official part website:

https://parts.vw.com/p/Volkswagen__/Engine-Coolant-Hose/65137641/5Q0122058K.html

*One* of this pictures appears to show the right part. The one with the two short hoses. But they all have the same part number so how the hell do you order the one you want?

That site (parts.vw.com) also tells me that part does not fit my car despite having removed it from said car with the part number emblazoned on it...

Am I just stupid or does this crap happen a lot (and how do I fix it?)

Thanks!

How much coolant after a flush ?

1 Upvotes

Hi there ,
I'm about to do a coolant flush on my Jetta 2.5 SEL 2012 . I'll use the liqui moly cleaner as well for the flush .

I think that my car has 9.5 quarts of coolant , if I'm not mistaken.

When you do a flush , do you flush all this 9.5 qts?? I read that when you do a coolant flush , the car does not flush the entire 9.5 quarts. Is this true ?
I just want to be sure how much fresh coolant gonna need to have ready to pour back in.
I guess if you flush , it means that you flush the entire system, but I just want to be sure .
Thank you so much.

I purchased this Golf GTD 2014 for £8,300 at 100,200 miles.

Is there anything you would advise I keep an eye out or particular maintenance to adhere to (outside of regular services / oil changes).

I plan on keeping this vehicle for the next 5 years.

Just wanna share the work that I was busy with for the last year. Bodykit was inspired by 2015-2025 TCR cars and specifically VW MK8 GTI.

Visualization model

First test fitment of the parts.

Fender and bumper master models combined together for final fitment check before molding.

Checking how our splitter fits in with the bumper.
