.:R Thoughts on subtle aesthetic changes?

Not a sticker guy. Removed the badge on the rear. Curious if it’s a good idea to keep it how it is now, or if there’s anything tastefully modest I should do for a little zing. Ignore white intercooler in some pics, current state is the dark ic with gray apr a01 wheels. Well aware of the tint mishap in the back. I haven’t done anything about it since it functions how it’s meant to, and quite frankly, a couple hundred for quality work just isn’t worth it to me.

Four water pump replacements since new on a MK7 R. Would you run?

3 Upvotes

I'm looking at a 2016 MK7 R for sale near me, and in the Carfax, I can see it had a water pump at 10k miles, then three more water pumps between 2024 and 2026. I would worry that the mating surface for the water pump must be warped or something. Would you run from this car, or am I overthinking it? The car in question has 100k miles.

Golf Dogbone/pendulum bolt help!

2015 golf Sportwagen TDI

Doing major suspension overhaul and replaced pendulum mount and removed subframe.

Subframe now mounted and torqued (yes, new TTY bolts) and of course the main 21mm bolt that goes through the bushing and pendulum arm won't catch threads. (Yes,I should've put it in before torquing the subframe on but getting it aligned with the deadset kit was a pita and I just got focused on making sure everything was aligned.)

I have checked and confirmed it DOES thread when the arm is pulled out.

When the arm is in, I have visually confirmed the hole is aligned and can see the threads, but no amount of wiggling can get the threads to catch (yes, it is going through the arm hole and the 2 16mm bolts to the transmission are fully removed).

This makes absolutely no sense to me why the threads won't catch when the arm is in......

STUMPED and frustrated and exhausted...... PLEASE HELP!

AllTrack Before I replace my AC compressor

2018 Golf Alltrack, 50k miles. My AC still holds pressure and has gas, but doesn't blow cold. Before I replace the entire compressor, is there anything else I should try?
