turbocharged 168hp 1.8L I4 6-speed manual AWD
| Volkswagen Golf / GTI in Maryland, United States Jan 2021 - Jun 2022 | |||
| Feb 202275000 mi | Shark fin antenna was allowing water into the cargo area. I removed it and discovered that the mounting tabs had been bent by the previous owner, so it didn't seal fully. There's a gouge on the side of it that probably documents the impact that bent it. Turns out it's a dummy antenna since we don't have the navigation head unit! I straightened the tabs and reinstalled. Replaced an ignition coil that I broke while replacing the PCV valve. | ||
