Look at Cobb tuning for performance modifications, if your tight on money a stage 1 tune is plenty for most and it's honestly how the car should've came in the first place. It costs about 675 for a access port and an air filter. Cobb's biggest competitor is APR which is slightly pricier with a bit more, but the accessport is really unbeatable because you can flash your ECU yourself and do everything yourself. Couple aesthetics i would consider is something like the Mk7 side wings

I also got these from amazon

Makes entering the car feel a little bit better. This is my advice to you if you want to spend 1k or less. honestly the cobb accessport is a godsend and everyone should have one lol

Welcome!

Since it's turning you into a car guy...If you have the space, or even if you can borrow the space from a friend, DIY your general maintenance. It's so easy on this car.

You can do a 15-20 minute oil change without getting under the car by getting a fluid extractor like this one: https://www.ecstuning.com/b-schwaben-parts/65-liter-fluid-extractor/011885sch01a/

Lots of other great info/people on golfmk7 too.

Diluted Simple Green is a good all purpose cleaner you can use. Aerospace 303 Protectant can't be beat for all the plastic surfaces and dash. Use only microfibers.

You will probably want to get Gummi Pflege to lubricate your door seals. You will want to clean them with simple green or the like BEFORE you rub the Gummi on them so that you are removing the dirt and not causing the applicator of the Gummi to get gross.

https://www.amazon.com/nextzett-91480615-Gummi-Pflege-Rubber/dp/B004B8GTQG/ref=sr_1_1?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1522191200&sr=1-1&keywords=gummi+pflege

For your tint, with the small triangle windows by the mirrors, if the shop you go to wants to charge you extra, put vinyl on the outside of them or remove trim to tint them, walk away, they aren't good enough. None of those things are necessary. Expect to pay $250-600 depending on the tint and the area you live in.

Here's all the stuff I use :)

• Cobra Guzzler HD Waffle Weave Drying Towel 16 x 24 inches http://www.autogeek.net/cobra-guzzler-hd-towel.html (this is a must-have)
  
• Pinnacle Signature Series II Carnauba Wax http://www.autogeek.net/pisisepawax.html (by far my favorite wax for my CW GTI)
  
• Chemical Guys Silk Shine http://www.amazon.com/Chemical-Guys-TVD10916-Sprayable-Dressing/dp/B001TI1F5Q (works great as a tire dressing and to shine up the plastics)
  
• Stoner Invisible Glass Cleaner http://www.amazon.com/Stoner-92196-6PK-Invisible-Glass-Cleaner/dp/B00BUL1KRK
  
• Nu Finish Liquid Car Polish http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BPSW7C/ (this is an amazing polish...)
  
• Viking Blue Microfiber Wax Applicator http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0051MYL8E/ (cheap and they work well, even after throwing them in the wash after several times)
  
• Meguiar's Ultimate Quik Wax http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001O7PNS2/ (I use this for the quick wax jobs, like inside the trunk hood/trunk/door.)
  
• Meguiar's Ultimate Quik Detailer http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000RXNLK6/ (I use it for basically everything outside the car to touch up. I even clean the inside of the rims and exhaust tips with it)
  
• Meguiar's Quik Interior Detailer Cleaner http://www.amazon.com/Meguiars-G13616-Interior-Detailer-Cleaner/ (better than Armor All IMHO and it works well. Doesn't leave any nasty grease/shiny spots)
  
• Griot's Garage Micro Fiber Wheel Wand http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004YMRIC8/ (love these)
  
• Sonax Wheel Cleaner http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003UT3S6Q/ (the chemical smell is harsh, but it works wonders!)
  
• Eurow Microfiber Towels 16in x 16in 36-Pack http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0031B4YU2/ (some cheap microfibers and they hold up pretty well. I like the fact that they're yellow so you know when you should throw one out.)
  

The badgeskins (http://www.badgeskins.com/) look pretty awesome and are cheap and easy. Also the GTI seat handle inserts look awesome and are easy, something like:

http://www.amazon.com/Rupse-2PCS-Seat-Wrench-Insert/dp/B0094A6UUQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1412738478&sr=8-2&keywords=gti+seat+handle

Eyelids are from Amazon

Tail lights from here, but you can get from multiple sites. I have the Helix ones but they also sell the Ed reps. They are pretty much the same. It's the same vendor.

Nice yah I like the Mudflaps plus it helps keep the sides clean.

A Saris Bones is an OK trunk rack. That's as good as a trunk rack gets. It can rub on your paint, and I don't like the way it holds the bikes by the top tube.

In general, trunk racks are garbage though. If you're going to use it regularly, do yourself a favor and invest in a towing receiver and proper hitch mounted rack. You can get a Curt hitch with free shipping from Amazon for around $130. I installed it myself with one friend and a socket wrench. It's super no-brainer 100% easy. Then get a wheels-on hitch rack like a Kuat Transfer or something similar. They contact the bike only on the tires/wheels and don't touch the frame at all. The bikes don't sway, the wheels don't turn. The rack doesn't contact your paint at all, and can be tipped out of the way so that the hatch can open even with 2 bikes loaded.

​

But if you're rarely going to move bikes around, the Saris Bones is fine. Roof racks are a pain in the ass.

Do you have the "Monster Mats"?

Seat handle inserts are a really nice touch to the interior, but idk why these are $30. Pretty sure I paid like $12 4 or 5 years ago.

Enjoy your new GTI!

Yep, that's exactly it. Get a 32oz bottle of it and just dilute it at 1:16 with distilled water. You can use it to clean the wheel, as well as the other interior parts. It works great on the faux carbon fiber because other interior cleaners with UV protectants leave streaks that are hard to get off the shiny plastic. The ONR works great, you can use it to quickly wipe off the outside of your car too.

Not OP but they look like the ones I recently ordered from AliExpress -
https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/rgZI7MZ6

Edit: it looks like these are also available on Amazon. They may be a few bucks more but I wish I ordered them from Amazon instead of waiting weeks if not more for them to arrive from China.

Have you ever tried rinse-less carwash? I live in an apartment complex without a car washing bay and it has saved my life. Super easy to use and all you need is a bucket of water and a good amount of microfiber towels!


https://www.amazon.com/Optimum-NR2010Q-Rinse-Wash-Shine/dp/B00D8DR0AO/ref=sr_1_4?crid=1A5MPFJXPB92&keywords=rinseless+car+wash&qid=1567781917&s=gateway&sprefix=Rinseless+car%2Caps%2C217&sr=8-4

I have this one coming in today. Heard good things about it. Will let you know how it turns out, but it's the only one I saw on amazon that got good reviews, and I had Amazon credit to burn.

I love Larry's videos from AMMO NYC & DRIVE Clean and have always followed his recommendations for detailing/washing.

• 2 Home Depot buckets with grit guards, microfiber cloths & wash mitt, waffle drying cloth
  
• soap -> [Optimum No Rinse Wash & Shine](https://www.amazon.com/Optimum-NR2010Q-Rinse-Wash-Shine/dp/B00D8DR0AO/ref=pd_sim_263_2? (you can u_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00D8DR0AO&pd_rd_r=FM515CNNWHKECR3HGYQ8&pd_rd_w=L1qpT&pd_rd_wg=YSRMs&psc=1&refRID=FM515CNNWHKECR3HGYQ8) (I dilute this and use it as the "clay" lubricant as well)
  
• "clay" -> Nanoskin Autoscrub (works well enough, more cost effective than real clay)
  
• seal -> Chemical Guys Jet Seal
  
• wax -> Meguiar's
  
  
  

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TLW5ZCT/

Also, ODB11 has some good mods, but if you want something really cheap, you can get Carista for $20 and do a bunch of changes like the windows down / up on keyfob, turn off soundaktor, change asr behavior, etc. Keep in mind, Carista app costs money, but you get a free 30 days and the mods stick once you apply them.

Those are the ones I have, they look fantastic. Perfect fit and high quality materials

Use zip ties and this license plate bracket.

​

It'll look like this. Super clean and you won't see the zip ties.

Get an oil extractor, way cleaner and easier. This one is nice and has caps so you can put it in your car when full without making a mess. The oil filter is on top too, so you don't have to worry about getting under the car and messing with that plug.

My 6 has so much creek. So what I did was...

1/4th inch drip tube in the inner seal atop my doors

That worked for a bit but the squeaky noises returned.

Next I used Gummi Pflege on the inside of every single seal within the door. So what I mean is. On the ones that attach to the body, but more importantly I spread open every one on the door and put a generous coating

Lastly,

I put Sailkote all over a rag, I mean soaked it, then rubbed it all over the felt side of the upper door seal that touches the body.

This can be purchased for a lot less with some hunting. I paid 12.99 at a local marina store

I think it’s a pretty affordable way to maintain your car. I use the Optimum ONR - No Rinse Wash
And some basic supplies

• Wash mit
  
• microfiber towels for drying
  
• 2 buckets of water (one for the solution the other to rinse out the mit)
  
  I can provide a full list of anyone interested.
  
  Tons of videos online to help you along.

1. I'd try this brush with some Nextzett Cockpit Premium
   
2. Like Beast said, Badgeskins sells a sticker to cover that.
   
3. For the steering wheel, I'd recommend Lexol. I also use that to clean my leather seats, followed by their leather conditioner every now and then.

i got this : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00URDQ27A/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

not sure if its hepa but it seemed like a good filter.

Nothing wrong quality wise with Denso, but the NGK laser platinums are OEM. I would not bother with anything else. Aren't plugs 60k mi for 2.0s?

The gap is .032 , about $10 on amazon for the correct ones.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B007WR66QQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1452208552&sr=8-1&pi=SL75_QL70&keywords=NGK+spark+plugs+gti#

Replace coils with the Audi r8 ones if you're having issues, other wise just leave it.

I also second with getting mosnter mats and interior LEDs, huge difference

Other mods I have for the list are:
•Illuminated shift knob - color matched to interior red lighting and dims with the dimmer switch (not sure if you have stick or DSG but have a spare for sale)
•Double Apex USB Charger - OEM + look to fill dummy ports, very easy install
•GTI seat inserts ($30 off amazon) https://www.amazon.com/Gizmo-Supply-2PCS-Wrench-Insert/dp/B0094A6UUQ
•Toe-Hook License frame mount (if you're in a state that requires a front plate)

I've got them too! Perfect fit for the Mk6 for under $10:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0094A6UUQ

Its great! It was cool because the dealer asked me if I wanted them to drill into the bumper or not. I said no thanks and picked up this

I bought this one and its perfect. I can't recommend it enough. It has the added benefit of being able to simple reinstall the tow hook cover should my state come to their senses and ditch the requirement.

interior, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002Z2MZ4

Recommended to me and I like it. Smells nice (not over powering) is not glossy and can be used on treated leather (your steering wheel).

I installed the CURT 11412 hitch on my MK7 and MK7.5. It was pretty easy to install, only about 30 minutes and a few bolts.

Class 1 Trailer Hitch with Ball Mount, 1-1/4-Inch Receiver Black 1-1/4" for for Select Volkswagen Golf, GTI https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0133WU3K8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_VwEWCb4BGXSG0

Hitches are the way to go! Im currently using the Curt 11412 hitch on my '19 gti. I had a curt hitch on my veloster and it served me well. Amazon will state this will not fit on the '19 gti's but i confirmed on curt's site that i will in fact fit. Installed without any issues!

​

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0133WU3K8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I went with this one.
Some are plastic which is nice to be able to see as you fill. In the end I decided metal might be stronger and longer lasting.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001445IZ8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The following is cheap and adds a nice touch. You could probably find it cheaper btw, I just linked the first one I found. I got mine for like $6 shipped.

https://www.amazon.com/Rupse-2PCS-Seat-Wrench-Insert/dp/B0094A6UUQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1474503079&sr=8-1&keywords=gti+seat+insert

Here are the seat pump handle inserts:http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0094A6UUQ?cache=ee8e7965740a924ef8153dbd4100ec28&pi=SX200_QL40&qid=1406017803&sr=8-1#ref=mp_s_a_1_1

I got these a couple weeks ago and I'm impressed with the very OEM look and fit.

I don't have the door sill inserts like OP, but that may change soon, they look sharp! Here's a link to what I assume OP has installed: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0091DGUK6?cache=ee8e7965740a924ef8153dbd4100ec28&pi=SY200_QL40&qid=1406018045&sr=8-1#ref=mp_s_a_1_1

I use Sonax on my wheels and clean the calipers with a soft brush like this.

Look into something like this. Lots of different brands/types. So easy and no reason to crawl under the car since the oil filter is on top.

https://www.amazon.com/America-5060TS-Topsider-Multi-Purpose-Removing/dp/B001445IZ8

I used this:

1/4" 3M Vinyl Striping 150' 25 Colors Available (Tomato Red) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HQN3W40/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_9QkJDbZ97CZ7J

Although the red shade is a bit lighter than the red GTI strip.

I've seen some people recommend this one as well in the mk7owners forum:

Trimbrite T1218 Trim Stripe Red 1/4 Tape https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00029XBBE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_2RkJDbW95FJ4X

If it's in the stock location there will definitely be holes. Some people opt for plugs to fill the holes. They don't look too bad but still slightly visible.

I've got my front plate mounted to the side. I just bought a cheap license plate bracket and zip-tied it to the bumper. The plate covers the ties so it's easily removable and doesn't hurt the bumper.

https://www.amazon.com/Vibrant-1792-Bottle-Style-Resonator/dp/B000E3VHVO

Either this or one of the “Quiet” ones. Other people with GTIs have used this one with good results.

Just ordered this one... flush, good quality.

https://www.amazon.com/Platypus-Holes-License-Volkswagen-2015-2016/dp/B00MARZUI8

Those holes are also useful for other things...
https://www.amazon.com/Platypus-License-Plate-Volkswagen-2015-2017/dp/B00MARZUI8

https://www.amazon.com/Rupse-2PCS-Seat-Wrench-Insert/dp/B0094A6UUQ this is always a popular simple thing

You can get it at Amazon or your choice of online sites.

Simply clean all seals with a damp microfiber cloth, wet the applicator and moisten the seals. Do your doors, hatch and hood seals too, especially if you are in a winter zone.

Yes. This is the 5 Liter jug Liqui Moly Synthetic Leichtlauf High Tech 5W-40 and this is the link for the 1L bottles

Edit: Here’s my post about Liqui Moly Synthetic Leichtlauf High Tech 5W-40 Motor Oil

Do yourself a favor and get one of these cabin filters. I had some smell issues with my Mk7.5 and this got rid of them completely. Could hardly believe the difference it made.

Hey thanks man!

Here’s the link for the eyelids: https://www.amazon.com/etopmia-Black-Headlights-Eyebrow-Eyelids/dp/B01DZK8YLS

And as for what I’m lowered on, I just have the APR Rolls Control springs installed.

Took me less than 5 minutes to switch out myself. I recommend this Mann-Filter FP 26 009 FreciousPlus Cabin Air Filter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00URDQ27A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_yBv7Cb4TVSP6N

Thanks. The mount is from Amazon, the Platypus Tow Hook mount. Bought it at $79, it's now $93. Pricey but one time purchase.

I removed both muffler and resonator like OP, but I switched the stock resonator for a Vibrant 1792 bottle type. It's loud without any rasp and gets some nice pops and loud DSG shifts with absolutely no drone. I kept the stock tips and it cost me around $250 total for parts and labor.

Yep, except I bought this

I have this pressure washer

http://www.amazon.com/Rupse-2PCS-Seat-Wrench-Insert/dp/B0094A6UUQ

Appears the price has gone up a buck. Still totally worth it.

Could it possibly be the brand of pin striping as well?

Here is what I used Incase it differs:

Trimbrite T1218 Trim Stripe Red 1/4 Tape https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00029XBBE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_vDPQAb9KVS09D

I recommend gummifledge for this issue. I tried silicone spray first and that worked for a while, but this gummifledge stuff made the creaking go away for six months at a time. Pop up your moonroof and apply it to the rubber piece in the back and wherever else you think there may be rubbing, but that long back rubber weather seal was the culprit.

​

https://www.amazon.com/nextzett-91480615-Gummi-Pflege-Rubber/dp/B004B8GTQG

This stuff off of Amazon.

i can see the zip-ties -_-

not trying to rain on your parade though, i picked up one of these from amazon http://www.amazon.com/Cruiser-Accessories-79050-License-Bracket/dp/B00032K4TW/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1449020106&sr=8-11&keywords=front+mount+license+plate+holder and they also sell them at advance auto parts and that way the zip ties are hidden behind the license plate.

Amazon has a 2-Pack of the 13oz liquid for $7.63 shipped with Prime:

Just stick with Liqui Moly on amazon. I've never seen any European oils in autozone.

$17 Amazon special.

I noticed this one is lifting a bit on the inside, I may need to redo them.

These coils and these plugs are the ones I used after reading a bunch on the VWVortex and Mark6GTI messageboards. You may also want to get your intake cleaned (before you change the plugs) if you haven't already.

These seat lever inserts should be mandatory:

I used Barkeeper's Friend.

I use the liquid pre-mixed formula (Amazon Link). You can find this at most stores that sell cleaning supplies too. I put a small amount on a sponge and then just rinse it off after.
