I've never been so glad to not own something that runs on premium. The pricing is crazy. When I bought my GTI in 2011, it there was only like a 30 cent difference. Now, I can't recall the last time I saw anything less than 80 cents between 87 and 91 around me
You also from the dead forum too? What was your username?
Indeed. nakenyon was my username on the dead forum.

The downside is the gti now runs on regular so you’d gain the power but for some of you, the running costs would go up 30-60% which is just

I just checked Gas Buddy, and it seems like premium is now anywhere between a $.60 and $1.00 upcharge in my neck of the woods. It also doesn't help that most stations around here have changed their signage to only advertise the price of 87, so you have to pull in to see what the 93 anal fee is when cruising down the road.

Yes. I was changing lanes and saw it too late. Was looking in mirror to make sure I was clear.

Yeah. I’m primarily bummed because it could’ve been avoided. However, thankful that it wasn’t worse. No damage at all other than those two pics.

Isn't the 1.8 FWD not available here? I was thinking 2.0T AWD.
The 1.8 FWD was certainly available earlier... when i was looking into these.
The 2.slow was actually a great little bugger, I wouldn't even tune it, it had plenty of power IMO for a car as such.
I don't understand why the tuners don't release a normal tune that basically adds say 30-40 WHP instead of 70-140 or whatever the
numbers are. A a minimal power increase the reliability should remain and the car would be a lot more fun. Without some random catastrophic dolphin failure.
That was also my thought too when I first saw GayPR released their stage 1, it was
the way the mk6 gave their numbers felt right imo. That's why people use Cobb, jb4 piggyback and such once the mk7 enters the era. It's not like the platform itself is designed to hold down such
power unless you swap for better tires at MINIMUM.

It could've hit the plastic oil pan.
But im probably sure that itself is more sturdy compared to where the rock hit.

Attn. fellow Mk7 peeps. Just noticed today that I don't have a compass in my MFD.
Does anybody know if it can be activated via VCDS, OBD11, or Carista?

I'm fixing to buy the yearly subscription to my Carista to tinker with some things. I'll investigate and let you know.
I don't think I saw anything in there before

I have the analog gayges but my steering wheel has a multi page icon on the RHS that gives me display options like Nav but I'm seeing directional compass, NE for example, on most pages.
