Picked up a 24 GLI 40th anniversary with 21k miles
Love the car but it immediately had the misfire issue at cold start. I have an appointment tomorrow with a dealer since I’m still under warranty. Hoping they will help me with the software update that supposedly fixes this issue. Other than that I love the car
New here - upgrade from a 2016 Elantra and couldn’t be happier
Did a risky experiment…
bought a cheap Temu brand HKS blow off valve, was only $30; failed within a month to where internal springs failed to open
Bought a real HKS blowoff ($250) and performance is even better
Lesson learned: do not buy cheap mechanical parts
I’m doing my brakes and I need to turn my wheel to access the calipers, how can I turn my wheels when the car is on jack stands? Is there any way to disable the steering lock without turning on the car?
hey ya'll. i'm new to the euro car scene and i just got an mk4 gli a few months ago, and it has an ecs tune on it. it went into limp mode today and the vsa or traction control light came on and another one i don't remember. car would stutter and die out if i didn't give it enough gas to start but eventually would get going but have zero power. this would repeat multiple times as the car died trying to get it home but the only code it would give me is p0606 or something like that. sounded like it was misfiring but no misfire code. control module processor fault is what the scanner said. does anyone know what this means or what steps i need to take to fix it? i googled the code and it said basically the ecu detected a fault and put it in limp mode and the fix is to remove and reupload the tune or have it looked at. is there any tuner online that could remotely look at it to see what is going on? any advice helps please and thank you! i'm located in ontario canada
It's hotter than hell here... Time to wash the GLI. 2025, no mods.
Good evening, just starting hearing this noise when driving highway speeds, above 60 really. Anyone have a clue what it could be? It sounds like it’s coming from the back left wheel. Thanks
It's been a while since I've enjoyed driving a car as much as I have with the GLI.
Excitement is an understatement when it comes to what this car can do on a day to day ride. From the sporty feel to the comfort drive, this car can give you both!
For those who still hesitate to get one, I for one is a fan!
Someone reversed out without looking and rear-ended the back of my car 😭. Not a big deal but the GLI's my first new car and I have kept her spotless for over a year. The guy wanted to deal with it outside of insurance but wasn't willing to give any cash upfront and when he said he's got issues with insurance, it raised some red flags so I figured it's best to just deal with insurance.
I have a MK7 2020 GLI Autobahn that has intermittent A/C. It blows cold while it's blowing, but on longer trips will start blowing warm air/hardly any air at all for a period of time and then blow cold again. I checked the R1234Y level and it's within range, what else could be causing this?
I have a 2024 40th trim, the site says it won't fit any vehicle with an MAF sensor. Just want to make sure im not wasting money
Hello! I have a question for everyone. Hopefully someone will be able to help. I had to have my steering wheel replaced in my 2025 GLI a couple months ago. The new steering wheel sometimes doesn’t register my hand holding the bottom half but the top half has no issues. I will either have to grip it tighter or move the steering wheel to make the keep hands on wheel message to go away.
I went to the dealership and of course they couldn’t recreate the issue. I took videos and sent them to them too. My advisor said the tech told him the new steering wheels don’t have the sensors in them anymore and it’s all done by the clock spring now. He said VW took them out because they were melting because of the heated steering wheel.
Is this only on steering wheels in new cars? Or would my replacement steering wheel not have sensors too? It’s weird to me if it doesn’t have sensors in it then why does it register my hand on the top without me having to move the wheel? In fact I can touch the top half with one finger and it will register my hand on the wheel.
Just wondering if I should go to a different dealership to get a second opinion or ask them to talk to a different tech? Hopefully someone with some knowledge on this stuff can help! Thank you for your help everyone!
My front rotors have warped and I wanted to change them out just don’t know what to get as yet. I’ve seen the power stop Z23 kit with the drilled and slotted rotors and z23 pads, or I was thinking maybe zimmerman blanks and z23pads. I wanted ebc reds but about a 90-100$ difference for pads so I’m not sure if there worth. What are some other good options for pads and rotors?
I don’t track the car just daily driving and a few backroad runs on the twistys. Also keeping the oem pads and rotors in the rear as they were changed before i bought the car in November
The weight on this thing is absolutely perfect I can't believe the difference it makes.
Has anyone ran these 2 before with or without a res? I can’t really find much sound clips on it and I was curious how the drone is and how loud it would be.
I also looked at the CTS catted one and sounds pretty good also or anyone have any other suggestions for going catted or catless for a dp
I just so happen to check OBD11's website today and I seen this article. It looks like OBD has the permissions now for full authorization of SFD2 security.
Has anyone else seen this?
