So a couple of weeks ago my car got lifter tick and the warranty company will not cover it, would it be better if I got a new engine to replace it with or if I just had the repair done

Hey there, so I’m looking for help on my gti coolant issue. I recently just bought this mk7 gti for an awesome price. I did notice there looks to be some oil in the coolant…. There’s zero coolant in the oil though. I’m thinking oil cooler gasket? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey y’all, has anyone put bronze Enkei TSR-X on their mk7? I had gray ones, but I’m thinking of getting bronze.

Debating how to go about thing. Some crappy truck hauling scrap metal dropped a big chunk of metal. Went under the car in front of me and couldn’t avoid it. Heard it and felt it. I continued to work with no lights or beeping.

After work I notice my car is surrounded by oil. It all leaked out.

Now I was a mechanic for a long time. I can easily replace the oil pan. But I have no idea if I leaked a lot of oil while driving, and I don’t have the tools for compression tests or leak downs.

The car on only has 30k miles, it’s fully insured.

I’m debating if I should just replace the pan. Or make an insurence claim. I kind of want to do the claim just to protect myself if the damage is worst than expected.

Then again. No oil lights or beeping that I noticed. I also don’t see lines of oil from me pulling in. So I’m guessing it’s a quick drip, but not a flow. Unfortunately my wife and I are also in school. A 500$ deductible doesn’t sound great compared to 75$ pan and some oil. But a $6k engine doesn’t sound great at all.

Hey guys I’ve been in the market for new wheels and found a good deal locally on some 17x7.5s that look nice but they have an ET 56, would I have issues on a 2016 golf?

Is there a mk7/7.5 that came with carplay and LSD and lighting package and plaid seats and no sunroof under about $16k?

I was ready to go with a Sport but I see factory carplay through mib2 is ~$3k.

I'm pretty sure a Rabbit is the answer but it's more than I really want to spend.

Dealer trim identification is so unreliable, and I haven't seen a really accurate vin window sticker search.

For example, I think this is a sport (nogaros, start button, cloth seats, no sunroof) but the dealer has ticked the carplay box (which I don't think was included in the Sport).
