r/GolfGTI

Hey Golf GTI owners,

I shared this with the Golf R community about 5 months ago and figured I should show it to the GTI side too.

I built it because detailed builds always seem to end up scattered across Instagram posts, forum threads, notes, and old photos. It gives each car one permanent page for its mods, specs, wheel setup, photos, and history.

Here are two of the best-looking & documented GTIs on the platform so far!:

• Jasmin, a 2015 GTI owned since new with 33 documented mods, an APR IS38+ Turbo, Airlift Performance Bags, and HRE FF21 wheels.
• MK6 GTI K04 Turbo Daily OEM++, a 2012 GTI with 46 documented mods, a CTS K04 Turbocharger, HPA Motorsports coilovers, and a Stratified K04 Pro-tune.

There are more than 40+ Golfs documented so far. The app is FREE and I’m still working on it, so there may still be things that need fixing.

We launched 4 months ago, and owners have already added 1,900+ documented builds. Across the platform.

If you were documenting your GTI, what would you want the page to include?

3rd GTI first Cornflower. Definitely my favorite color. Lost my previous 2 to people turning when they shouldn't but now im back in the game.

Just got the windows tinted and that’s all so far planning on getting an ie intake soon but what else should I do after? I do want to focus on handling and possibly rims let me know if you guys have any ideas (2019 gti mk7.5 auto)

Hey guys, new to this side of hatches. Had a speed 3 previously. Anyways here’s my egg, don’t know much about it other than it has a backyard built engine and a big turbo making 600 on e30. I’m having an issue with the dsg unfortunately the car only has 1st and 3rd gear, no reverse. I was told by previous owner mechatronic unit needs a relearn, is that a thing or should I just replace the transmission as a whole? Apparently it has a new mechatronic unit in it.

Hello,

Went grocery shopping and suddenly didn't realize my side mirror cap fell off. I have a volkswagen golf gti mk7 2015 model. It's carbon steel paint too. Dealer was quoting like 280 cad just for one cap to be replaced! The turn signals and mirror are there. Just need the cap replaced.

Any good third party replacements for the mk7? And is it easy to install? I think it snaps on but I probably have to remove the mirror as well for it to snap properly?

Im looking to go from a mk6 gti to a mk7.5 R but I need to know a good price to pay if I buy through dealership. Reason Im getting rid of it is bc I live in a city that is extremely populated and I simply can't see myself daily driving my manual mk6 for much longer

Said goodbye to my GTI today. I've wanted a miata for years so I'm beyond excited, but I also already miss my GTI. It's a more well rounded car and possibly the perfect daily, but the Miata is pure fun on wheels. I'd like to get another GTI one day if my situation allows, so hopefully this isn't forever

So... I originally ordered a mbrp exhaust from BMP end of July. They told me wait for that was 3 months or so, had them switch out to the AWE track on the 6th of this month with an ETA of mid to end of month.

Still hasn't shipped no big deal until I see on BMPs website today saying "in stock, ships today". I messaged BMP asking for updates and explaining what is being advertised for that exhaust. I get a quick generic reply saying "we emailed our supplier, we will update you"

Has anyone else ordered AWE exhaust or from BMP recently and had a similar experience?

BTW here's my 23 mk8! 034 93 tune Stg1 and intake are my only mods so far 😬

Great car just maintenance heavy needed a new cylinder head at 40k miles.

Looking to see if anyone has any info on this type of paint bubbling, no other issues with paint other the areas in picture. I have an extended 5 star warranty that expires next year, just wondering if this will be covered under anything. Any insight is appreciated, thanks.

After so many year watching this car always on the streets here and there with selected people and also online. Finally got this beauty. It is 169k mileage Golf R-Line 2021 Engine 1.5 TSI Manual transmission 6 speed, only 1 owner and got a OBDEleven 3 recently also to tweak some 1 click apps with it. Any tips and recommendations that can i keep in mind guys? I want to hear from experienced drivers from these cars or any mechanics around here which parts to keep checking on and maybe clean here and there. I just love this car.
