Washer fluid fill
My washer fluid reservoir was empty for about 6 months, so I finally filled it and now my car over steers like crazy.
Did I throw off the weight balance from front to rear and have too much tread on my front tires from the lack of weight? Will rotating my tires fix this?

I hate this forum. Just full of trolls and you're killing the community. That's why no one is on this forum anymore.

It doesn't matter anyways, These cars are absolutely terrible at everything they do, and you'd be an idiot to buy one. Better buy a superior GTi or something else before your resale value plummets any further...

How on earth did you manage to buy a new one without 28.6 threads asking which one you should get? See the problem is they used a cut down Impreza platform so you need the springs from a 13 on the front to get it right. Also need the struts from a 14 on the left and a 16 on the right. All this will work very well with the Torsen LSD. This is important if you don't want to wear your tires out after 3 powerslides.

But that seat pattern on the GTi is a deal breaker.

Yeah, but I bet Volkswagen covers track use in their warranty. Only Subaru and Toyota don't because they hate us so much.

Well a $25K sports car really should be able to take the pressures of track use without issues. I mean really, I had to save up for 5 years for the down payment.

Can a full washer fluid reservoir really cause oversteer? First that battery thread, now this. Am I just not as in tune with the car as the rest of youse? What's the capacity of the reservoir anyway? Or is this a troll thread and I'm stupid lol

You obviously need to drive your car more if you can't feel it.
