Hello, I’ve been looking at a lot of pictures of peoples mk5 rear and i have a question for anyone who can answer. Do you guys have a working 3rd break light? And if not, is it even worth it to fix?

I was driving down US RT 10 one day and another GTI speeds up next to me, he rolls his window down so i do the same. He then tells me that my 3rd brake light (on top of rear window)is out. I honestly didnt even realize i have a 3rd brake light. There are ways to fix it by either buying a new assembly with a new cover and replacing it by breaking the old one, or prying the old one off which may risk scratching the car. Is it worth it? Or does it even matter?

Ive been pulled over and cops have never said anything about the third brake light…

Putting 14 inch rims on GTI with winter tires, yay or nay?

When i used to cold start my car it would be extremely loud, now when i cold start it sounds the same as idling when engine is warmed up. Whats up with that?

Is there a radiator fill cap or is the only access from the coolant reservoir? If so, how to i get to the fill cap? Remove the grill and plastic piece in between the grill and the hood im assuming? But then again i havent been able to find info on whether or not there is even a radiator cap. Please lmk, thanks!
