    Test Drove a GTI

    Sound Generator Thanks for your comments Bob. Can you amplify ( no pun intended) on the sound generator. I thought you could control the sound generator on the 2016 GTI's thru the touchscreen. Am I wrong? can it only be controlled thru VCDS?

    Test Drove a GTI

    Comparing VW dealer accessory prices

    Yes, I know. That's why I ordered a set of "Rotary" wheels from them for my new Golf GTI on order. I tried to get my local dealer to price match their prices but they said they couldn't.

    Anyone successfully used the $2k loyalty to trade out a TDI?

    Not Necessarily Don't still have to own one. I was told that I can get the bonus if I can show an insurance card showing that I owned one. In my case I've already sold my 09 JSW and have a GTI on order, but I still have an insurance card showing the VIN # of my JSW. If the GTI comes in before...

    PRNDL Flashing

    Serviced? I can't provide any solution, but I must ask the obvious question. Has the transmission been serviced at recommended 40K mile intervals? If not, maybe a service might help.

    New TDI Engine burns oil. Is that normal?

    Back When!!!! I know I'm getting old (almost 71) because I can remember when if you went 1000 miles and did not have to add at least a quart you were doing great. Times and engine technology have really changed since the 1950's-60's.

    DSG service time dependent or miles?

    10K miles OR one year All scheduled service items are at 10K mile intervals OR one year. Technically, your DSG will be due for service at four years even though you have not gone 40K miles. The JSW I recently sold had only 52K miles. My DSG had service at 28K miles when it was four years old.

    Blind Spot Mirror

    Easy I've had OEM Euro Aspherical Mirrors on my 09 since new. I took a bathroom suction towel hanger from a bath mirror and stuck it to the mirror glass. Pulled straight out and out came the glass. Very easy.

    Spare Tire with Outside & Inside Labels?

    Tire Web site says--- Checked a couple of sites and they said if they only have "outside" and "inside" markings and no arrows it means that they should be mounted with outside marked side on the outside of the rim.
