    1.8TSI DSG7, Odd behavior of the 2nd gear

    I see, that makes a lot of sense, but still looks very strange. From time to time, when the engine is cold, I get a very quick shift to 2nd, which actually slows down the car a bit. The feeling can be compared to being the passenger of an inexperienced driver who haven't learned it how to switch...

    1.8TSI DSG7, Odd behavior of the 2nd gear

    The RMP drop happens in all modes. E, D and even S. I'll try to add a video asap. Someone, on another forum, argued that it's only a display problem and the car is "de facto" still in 1st gear, just before the RPM drop. Either way, it's a problem and I am wondering if others noticed it, and if...

    1.8TSI DSG7, Odd behavior of the 2nd gear

    Guys, please take a look at the video. There is a an RPM drop during the 2nd gear while the acceleration is constant. Does it look normal to you? Does anyone else have it? http://youtu.be/-ptupEN7rRI

    Pollen Filter Change

    Thanks, I'll give it a try. Did you use an original filter or a better carbon fiber one like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/171362412845?

    1.8 TSI Screeching Noise

    The 1.8 engine uses a chain. It is my problem because it happens randomly and I have no idea how to reproduce it.

    1.8 TSI Screeching Noise

    I was finally able to record this, although still can't reproduce on demand. It usually starts happening after 30 minutes of driving. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAm_NUKAYR8&feature=youtu.be

    Is it just me with this thought on LED headlights?

    For me, it's always natural white. I think it might look different depending on the lighting conditions outside. During the spring when we have here (Israel) a lot of sand coming from the desert all lights that usually look white look very blue. It's a matter of contrast...

    Rattle above the glove box

    I've pressed on the dashboard seal (I guess it was opened and closed when I had a rear camera installed) and for now it seems to do the trick. Thanks for all your suggestions.

    Rattle above the glove box

    It's probably not the air vent since the noise doesn't come from a specific point. It might be the airbag, but I have no idea how to verify it.

    Dashcam Fitted in my Mk3

    Is there a nice way to install it so the power will come from the ceiling and you won't have the power chord interfering with your view and gears handle?

    Rattle above the glove box

    I have a very annoying ticking rattle coming from the passenger side of the dashboard, subjectively heard like it's coming from above the glove box. It happens even if the glovebox is completely empty. I remember that someone wrote about rattles coming from this area, but I can't find the...

    1.8 TSI Screeching Noise

    After driving today for a while in Sports mode, a thing that I rarely do, I've noticed a very strange screeching noise when going from a full stop and for something like 0.5 seconds. It's not the tires (dah!), it sounded like some noise coming from under the hood. Has anyone experienced...
