So it's been just over a year that I've owned the car, I bought it used with 35000kms, I just turned over 80000kms and did yet another oil change (I still think the engineer who designed that tubing in front of the oil filter should be fired)

Anyways so far so good with only minor warranty stuff. (turbo oil return bolt)

Since the purchase I've had the windows tinted.
change the 17" to the 18" bristols.
added the 2013 trunk arm covers
added the clear bra to the entire front.
added the VW mud flaps.

Next on my list will be H&R springs.
12V plug for the rear seats
headlight bulb upgrades.


So far I'm pretty satisfied with the car but should have gone manual for the extra m.p.g. The 64000km $500 DSG tranny oil change is ridiculous.

W H Y ? ? ? Doing such a thing, probably makes it look Gaudy.

Your 1st mistake was to go to a dealer. You can save a buttload by buying your own oil & filter kit, and having a mom & pop shop do it.
