Fixing My GTI’s Exhaust
Restoring the original exhaust on my 2012 Golf GTI Edition 35 has made it quietly refined for commutes while delivering a satisfying growl when pushed
Swapped out injectors and battled wiring mishaps while chasing a stubborn misfire
Found genuine Bosch 0261500037 injectors, but a stripped manifold thread and a persistent vacuum leak are keeping me busy—just another step in the journey to restore this Edition 35 to its factory glory
With a new ECU, smoother shifts, and winter-ready tires, the GTI feels closer than ever to its original factory perfection.
