    Where i live in SoCal, you can drop off used oil at most all quick oil change shops.
    They will gladly dump the old oil at no charge.
    Great for the GTI owner who does his own work!

    Very informative especially the drop in filter part, in my country doing a full intake would void warranty but a drop in filter could be removed before services or warranty claims just for safety

    So the drop in filter + turbo inlet pipe would do the exact same thing as the intake but cheaper? As in you'd get the wooshy woosh sounds?

    • @LucasHuang

      same in performance but probably not as much sound as an open intake

      I did it on my MK8. Drop-in filter and snow guard removal. You get some more sound but nothing major. I honestly think it’ll work better than an open intake because it won’t be as prone to heat soak

    Anyone on the comments or if you know info on the sensors for the keyless entry? I keep getting that alert and was told that it is sensors around the car that it can be missing. And also a question about my front bumper. It is an autobahn and I read that the front bumper for that needs to be precise or else front head lights don't work. And yeah headlights don't work properly. Well the daytime running light doesn't work properly. Thanks,

      Wheel bearings are SUPER COMMON with VW's!! My goodness i wonder just how many i have replaced through the years of owning one!!

    • @BabyCharlotteschannel
      @BabyCharlotteschannel Год назад +1

      **usually the way i tell which wheel it is for sure is when turning, harder the better too usually.. if turning left if its the left wheel bearing it will get quiet because the load is taken off that wheel and the force put on the outer wheel.. so if turning right, the force goes on the left wheel, which will usually make the left bearing have more stress on it and be louder but the rt wheel has less stress on it and if that is the one that is bad it will quiet up while turning rt..

    Hey Lucas, my 7.5 brakes are super squeaky when the weather is dry out but stops when it rains. I took the car in to VW and they said the pads have plenty of life. The rotors are clean and doesnt show any damage but I want to avoid trouble down the road. What do you recommend?

      you should not get the 6speed, yes i love the manuals but im my opion the dsg is too good and the comfort/chillness of the ride is worth it to stick with the auto, I still love the manuals and still have my manual civic but the dsg is still super fun
