Money can fix things when they break. I could never live with a boring reliable car. Sometimes the occasional CEL even gives me a chuckle.

@@NewEnglandPete Well that's on you and if you wanna continue to throw your money away into a endless money pit that's your business, you do that while I enjoy life and live through you as previous gti owner and watch you fix your car everyday, vehicles are not an investment, think about that one.

[@NewEnglandPete]

The income from this video alone - has taken care of any costs for repair, however, I appreciate your opinion. 🙂

[@NewEnglandPete]

Hey guys!! I appreciate all of the support during this whole process. We are still waiting on official word from VW as to what happened to the car. I wanted to make this post to clear a couple things up though. First and foremost, I don’t want to see any blame towards any aftermarket companies. This appears to be a VW related issue. Lastly, I have noticed some negative comments addressing how I have been covering this situation. Just as any situation before this, I document everything that happens with the car. These videos are no different than any other time the car broke. Please keep in mind that I invest a lot of time and money into this channel and when something like this happens, it impacts me significantly… so if the video comes off as “dramatic” then please understand. Stay tuned for the next video. -Pete

love your mqb content keep up the good work! I'd rather know the ENTIRE process because when/if i run into issues with my car I look for the obvious and where others have had issues.

Hey Pete what was the issue I got got a 2017 R and now I’m nervous something will happen to mine

[@ctopher4362]

Had the exact same thing. Your dip stick tube popped out of the o-ring in the pan

[@mk7t472]

It will get better soon, had my transmission go out on me a few months ago on my gli, aftermarket clutch so wasn’t covered. 5k later and we’re rolling on a vortex xl with MPI now, so I’m sure you’ll be back and better soon

[@jshammmy]

Looks like you'll have a dead battery by the time that thing gets to VW, you left the AC power or lights on lol

[@NewEnglandPete]

Auxiliary mode was off.

[@2strokeFORever]

I know the shit sucks bro and at the worst time but at least the engine isn't blown or you didn't total it or something. She'll be back up soon

[@NewEnglandPete]

Fingers crossed

[@GTI_CHHA]

Really curious to find out if the engine misfire issue is linked to this oil leakage... I don't see the connection yet, it might still be pure coincidence.

[@limitededition3278]

What is the story on white GTI?

[@scottroberts5529]

I think that's his roommate's car

[@Zharsergey]

Turbo doesn't have any filter screens. You probably thinking Subaru

[@nathan.mk798]

You left the lights on

[@NewEnglandPete]

On purpose!! - tow truck requested so.

[@nathan.mk798]

@@NewEnglandPete ohhhh okay well that's good then haha

[@joshpetit44]

They tow with the cars lights on?

[@NewEnglandPete]

Apparently lol

[@Peylix]

You left your car in ACC with the lights on lol Your R will be back. I'm 100% positive this is minor shit.

[@NewEnglandPete]

Left the lights on, auxiliary mode off. - hopefully fixed soon.

Rear Main seal leak?

[@dennisemond3873]

Its automatic, if that means anything

[@bm717252]

@@dennisemond3873 my apologies I thought it was a manual. First time visiting the channel

[@2strokeFORever]

@@bm717252 I don't see how manual or DSG makes a difference but either way it sucks to have to remove the transmission (or paying someone to do it) for a cheap seal.

[@bm717252]

@@2strokeFORever yep. Unfortunately, this is what happens when we modify these cars. That’s the price we all pay. I’m pretty sure NEPete will be back up and running in no time.

[@ptahutah170]

Based on Pete's video, it looks like the leak is coming from near the turbo housing - manifold area. Where as the RMS would leak out from where the engine & transmission mate.

[@limitededition3278]

That is crazy

[@shannonmcatee9610]

Ouch

[@alejandrobarrientos1081]

Were you able to use warranty for this?

[@britexpat_l33t]

Definitely not. It’s mapped…

[@2strokeFORever]

VW will try to blame their crap main seal design on other things. They see a different set of wheels they'll try to blame it on that haha

[@forzfedv6]

Most like will be denied and flagged TD1

[@NewEnglandPete]

TD1 for sure

[@Alex-ct1ef]

Damn bro 😫

[@tttropicano6720]

Honestly Volkswagen needs to change their name to Leakswagen. I have an Arteon and Non-stop leaks.
