Golf/GTI VII :: Installing Mk7 Golf Cargo Net?
I've bought the accessory cargo net for my Mk7 Golf (5N0 065 111) but it's a flat-on-the-floor type, and I'd like a vertical version near the rear of the cargo area. It looks like there is some sort of rigging points on the sides of the interior panels right near the hatch, where a vertical net might fit. I find no such part from VW.

View 5 RepliesGolf/GTI VI :: RCD-310 Vs RCD-510 - Which Is Better Overall
And I'm talking usability wise when you have hundreds of mp3s. Apparently sound quality is the same in both. Buying the media-in box and the USB cable for the 310 is almost as expensive as ticking the 510 in the options list and use an SD card, so I'm a bit torn on which I should order (if I'm ordering a MkVI in the first place...).
Let's list a few pros and cons on both I know without having used either with mp3s:
RCD-310:
+You use the device with physical keys instead of touch display - you hit the right keys while keeping your eyes on the road
-Not enough info on the display for easy use with a lot of mp3s/folders?
RCD-510:
+More info on the display compared to the 310
-Too much info on the display for safe use while driving?
-Not being able to feel the (touch display's virtual) keys forces you to take your eyes off the road while using it
BTW: Can browse music folders with the steering wheel controls?

I went with my friend to pick up his GTI today. (Black 4-door) After 68 miles the CEL came on, and the idle at a light i'll be all over 2000 then drops to 1500 then 1000. No other things noticed, we called the dealer they said to bring it by on Monday.
View 3 RepliesGolf IV R32 :: CEL Came On And Off Consistently
A couple weeks ago I got a check engine light for the first time on my R, but before I could take it somewhere to get the code pulled, it went out on me. So I figure if it aint broke dont fix it. (FYI I have the flapper valve mod with the switch installed.)
Over the next few days the light would go on and off about once each time I drove it to work (about 45 min), and it seems to be associated with the flapper switch. The strange thing is that the light only comes on when I have been driving in "stock" mode for a while. Every time I leave the flapper open the light goes out after a while and seems to stay out.
I know "just leave the flapper open all the time!" which is what I've basically been doing, but still curious about what could be tripping the system.
Here's a pic...

View 3 RepliesGolf V R32 :: Car Is Pulling A Bit To The Right
Three weeks ago I was driving around Roscoe Blvd down at Panorama City on a slow Saturday afternoon.There was a construction and people were driving slow and it was a hot day. I was running maybe 25 or less mph till I realized that the manhole steel cover, did not have it's steel flat surrounding on it and I think it was 2 inches deep. I tried swerving to the right a bit and ended slicing my Continental tires on the side then it was instant flat. Got the tires at Discount tires but did not have the software for the 2008 R32 to align it. Brought it to Pep Boys but when they aligned it, they said they were -3 or -2 from the right front side but managed to align it to R32 default setup on the front left.
The car is pulling a bit to the right but not that much. I've been running 65 mph on the freeway and letting go of the steering and it doesn't even pull to the right compare to running the neighborhood streets.
Golf/GTI VI :: Fan Running While Car Is Off?
I pulled into my garage today and turned off the car, walking around it I heard a fan sound and it turns out that it was coming from my car. I went back in and turned it on to see if it was running hotter than normal (which it wasn't) and when I turned it off the fan was on again. Is this normal?

Golf IV R32 :: Brakes Went Really Wet
Sometimes when the brakes are really wet. As in for one example a steady highway cruise, having not touched the brakes in a while (so they're about as wet as they'll get), and then coming to a stop sign at the end of an off-ramp.
Rotors are "OEM slotted" from ECS, pads are Porterfield R4-S. This at both ends of the car. I'd think the slots would in fact work for the situation. But again, I can't remember having this elsewhere..

I've recently started having problems when shifting into second gear. When I go to shift into second gear, the action feels kind of spongy, and the car won't go into gear. If I cycle the gear shift back and for from 1st to 2nd a bunch of times it will eventually go into gear. From that point on it will shift with no problems. The problem is sporadic and tends to occur more often when the car is cold.

Stopped @ my Mom's for a minute. Got back into the .:R after like 10 minutes and it won't start.
- it cranks but won't start.
- Checked fuses and all are good.
- When trying to start the car it doesn't fire up but the RPM's blip up to about a 1000 rpm and then falls back down but nothing.
If it is MAF wouldn't the car start but run funny. Kinda like a bad coil.
