Brake master cylinder was absolutely shot and was not doing its best with the new GLI brake setup, so I managed to swap in a GLI 10.1" rotor type setup and it worked out very nicely.
The VW accessory sun shade for the Golf Mk7 (what VW calls a sunshield) is part # 5GM-064-366. I've used one for years and it works well.
My 2014 jetta TDI does the exact same thing as in your video when the battery is dying. I've had the car now for 6 years and it's happened 3 times. If the alternator checks out fine, then I would attempt a new battery.
18 months in and 57k of highway driving (knock on wood) I haven't had any issues with the windshield. I live in Florida, and have the 2022 Pro S RWD.
I’m on 108000kms in my 2017 GLI and it runs like the day I bought it. I do the maintenance on time when needed and it is trouble free. So far all I’ve had to do is the brakes.
Long story short, after some trial and error it turned out the new driver's side drive shaft was the cause. Installed another one and the car ran fine.
Das original VW öl bekommst du für 10€/l auf ebay und den ölfilter wahrscheinlich für um die 10€.
VW has replaced 2 internal turbos on my wife’s 2018 manual Golf. One at 46k and another at 103k.
The pulley on my 2015 Golf failed last week, and I had oil (grease from inside the pulley, actually) all over in exactly the same location as your photo shows. Also, the protective end cap came off the end of the alternator pulley - I found it down below, sitting on the top of the plastic pan under the engine. With that cap missing, it is possible to look inside the center of the pulley and see the splines on the bolt holding the pulley on the end of the alternator. The bad news: VW does not sell the pulley as a replacement part, you have to replace the entire alternator, which is a $1,000+ repair.
Be careful with the early MK8s. Mine is a 2022 and boy howdy she's got issues. Shift knob broke, steering wheel capacitor issues that disable travel assist repeatedly, backup camera failure and others say they have issues with the radiator failing to be fully seated on its clips and causing big problems.
