It was a fun 7 years, I had little money when I first got mine with 65,000 miles. I neglected it here in there so when it got to 144,000 I could not counting to support all the needs it had build up over the years. I had a lot of fun with it, went on many cruises up the canyons, enjoyed all the downshifts and slight throttle response from the turbo spooling up and then boom POWA baby!! pushing you into the bucket seats!
The never ending coolant and oil leaks 😂 mine was a mk6 so yeah! I went through so many coolant leaks and oil leaks. It was all worth it when I drove it everyday to work and back zooming through traffic. Anyway not sure what car I’m getting next Golf R, S5 or S4 but what I do know is this little 4 cylinder car making 200hrsprs got me itching for MOPOWABABY!

I couldn’t put it in reverse and it only stayed on first gear. It resets when I turn it off and let it sit for a while. I’ll be able to use it again but after a bit of driving it goes limp mode again. I got it scanned and this is what came up.

Anybody have any idea what could be making that strange sound? It’s a 2012 Vw gti It sounds like a rattling noise in a can, it’s louder at lower rpm around 3000 and goes away if I accelerate more aggressive which is very strange. Recently it started to be a lot more noticeable and different rpm and more so when I’m in gear because I’ve tried to record while the car is in park and you can’t really hear anything. At this point the car also kinda sounds like a tractor in some instances when I’m at a red light.
