I’ve had an APR stage 1 ECU tune on my 2017 GTI since 2020 with zero issues. I don’t track it. Just change plugs every 20k miles and have VW use OEM plugs.
I made it to 240k on my ‘19 before I had to change the fronts. I still have 6/32 on the rear pads at 255k now too. The factory pads are crazy good
I got mine (07 plate) a year and a half ago on 85k. All it’s needed is 2 rear shocks in that time for £200., other than maintenance of course.
Not that low because I topped it off before it got to that point but yeah it’s normal for our cars. It should only be the initial settling though, top it off engine cold with vw g12 evo 50/50 or distilled water and keep an eye on it. It shouldn’t drop any more once topped off for a while anyway.
Okay actually got some stuff done this weekend. Got the new rear spindles, refurbished backing plates, rotors, metal lines and soft lines, re conditioned original calipers…sure I’ll be revisiting these lol.
There is a slight delay, but I haven't seen it be as long as 2+ seconds. It seems to be about 1 second to maybe 1.2 seconds from the time I pull to when the spray starts. But none of my VWs are instant - my Arteon and my last 4 Passats, plus my 2015 Audi Allroad, were all a 1/2 second to 3/4 second delay to start squirting.
My only issue is squeaky brakes on reverse. The dealership told me to do some hard braking when they get squeaky, and that actually helps.
Why do I have to screw in the brake calipers with the world's stupidest Phillips?
I also have squealing brakes when they are cold and reversing. When they're done, I'll have them replaced with good aftermarket brakes.
Also replaced the wipers because the ones that come with the car suck.
