All 3 of the ride height senors on my GTI have seized kicking off constant suspension/headlight errors. My current shop is quoting $1500+ for OEM replacements, which seems pretty insane to me. I've noticed there are an absolute ton of aftermarket ones that claim to work with mk7s ranging from $30-300.
Can anyone shed some light on these, are any of them worth it, or is it just worth it to shell out a stupid amount of money on OEM?
So lately my car has been shuddering when getting going from a stop when the weather and car is still cold. Almost like it's stalling. It seems to go away once the car warms up and as its never done this before in the past so I assume my driving style is not the issue. It is avoidable if I build the revs up to 1800+ and go painfully slowly off the clutch - 7-10 seconds kind of slow.
The clutch isn't slipping, although the pedal feels slightly gritty at the very end of its throw. But that's been happening in cold weather since I bought the car.
Anyone experienced this before or have any clues as to what it might be?
So I swear there's a slight crackling undertone to my amp that wasn't there before. It's not loud, but I don't think it's normal either... Opinions?
I'm currently running an i7-9700kf based rig, which I plan to take my 3080ti and two nVME + two SSD hdds and move them over to a new rig.
My primary uses are 1440p gaming and music production. While my current rig handles gaming fairly well already it does feel like in many circumstances I'm not getting as much out of my 3080ti as I could be. While music production doesn't typically require much CPU power, I do occasionally run some fairly intense virtual instruments and I often find myself having to work around CPU limitations for some of them.
Anyway, I've been looking at this stuff for weeks and I'm stumped. AMD vs Intel seems like a far less clear choice these days, and there are j

Before the 24H2 update I have zero issues with performance or overall system stability, but pretty much immediately after the update things have gotten weird. If I turn my monitor off - regardless of how long it's off for - turning it back on takes a good 20-30 seconds to get image back. On occasion I'll also get a blank red screen that is only fixed by ctrl+shift+win+b. The system generally feels sluggish for a good 20-30 minutes after this. This will also happen when the screen hibernates.
Occasi
There seem to be an overwhelming number of options, and after far too much research I don't really feel like most of what I'm reading is more advertisement than actual information.
We've got about 800sqft of short carpet to deal with, and we've got two long haired dogs as well. They're well groomed so they don't shed too badly, but they do still shed, and they definitely track in dirt from outside.
I can spend $500cad give or take, but I'd love for it to be less. Just need something that isn't going to break and doesn't require me to clean the hair out of after every use with a pair of scissors and a pocket knife. Would be nice if it could handle stairs reasonably well too, our last on
American Pitbull?! Can anyone see it, because I sure can't, nor can I find a single image anywhere on the internet of the mix that looks even remotely similar. I'm truly stumped by this one.
TLDR; Health issues suck
So forgive the hopefully short life story. Growing up was difficult, I've always had a certain level of anxiety and depression for as long as I can remember. I also have fairly bad ADHD which was not diagnosed until I was 20. Elementary and Highschool were a bit of a nightmare to say the least. It seemed like all the other kids were given an instruction manual on how to interact and be social, but someone forgot to give that to me. I had serious trouble making friends and was more or less bullied on a daily basis. I also struggled with the work itself, if I was interested in the subject I was the top of the class, if I wasn't I'd be the bottom of the class, but
My antenna is broken and throwing code B105413 GPS Open Circuit. My usual shop isn't particularly keen on messing with my headliner to get to the antenna, and the quote from the stealership to replace it is astronomical.
At the moment when I plug my phone in to use nav in android auto it still tries to use the cars built in GPS rather than my phones, but I'm wondering if there's a way to force it to use the phone GPS rather than the cars.
Pardon the stupid question, but I'm a bit baffled by this one. My understanding is that the mk7 has a 50L tank, but if I drive from full until the fuel light comes on, I get maybe 380-420km out of a tank, while averaging 8-9L/100km and the most fuel I've ever put in was about 35L. Is this normal? Does the fuel light come on exceptionally early? It's kind of annoying how frequently I need to stop for gas with this car.
Compared to my old MK4, which I know had a slightly larger tank, I used to average between 11-12L/100km, but I also used to get 500km and 40L+ in while typically filling up well before the fuel light ever came on.
So this is a weird one. If I turn the monitor off, turning it back on gives me a blank back screen. Doesn't matter if I turn it back on after 10 seconds, 10 minutes, or 10 hours. The mouse or keyboard will not bring the image back, except occasionally AltCtrlDel will get picture back. Failing that I have to disconnect and reconnect the displayport cable.
Don't think it has anything to do with sleep mode as it happens when turning the monitor back on right away.
Currently I've got an Asus PB278Q that has served me well for years, but I feel like it's time for something a bit better. The blacks on this thing are non existent, and I feel like colour and detail is just a little dull.
It will be used 50/50 for work and gaming. For the gaming aspect I really mostly play single player with a little non-competitive multiplayer on the side and I would much prefer a better looking image over insane refresh rates.
My only real requirements are a minimum of 1440p, at least 27" and a max of 1k Canadian. Less is better, but if it's absolutely worth it I don't mind going up to the top of my budget.
Out of curiosity, for those of you with 32" monitors,
