So it looks like they solved the problem. Swapped out the fuel pump. I guess it was having issues with low fuel pressure. Said they metered it earlier but didn\u2019t find anything. Low and behold, it fixed it.
I test drove all 3 tire size when shopping the Arteon, don't be fooled, size does matter. As expected, 18 inch has the best ride and the 20 the worst. It was quite noticeable even on the short drive.
As suggested, do yourself a favor and replace worn bushings, otherwise you'll never get repeatable results. After replacing the bushings I was able to get it aligned for smooth shifting.
At 176,000 KM there has only been one issue. Fuel pump! It was covered under warranty. No issues at all with timing chain or related parts. Nothing else at all.
I just completed my first oil change on this car and it was a breeze compared to my MK5 R32. We have a bone stock 2018 SE AWD and I didn't even need to get the car on jack stands. Oil Filter, VW P/N 06L115562B
I did replace the spark plugs at 70k miles
The radiator on my 2016 is leaking, although leak isn't really the right word. Maybe porous. The hole is so small, it takes months to show a change in the coolant reservoir. On some days, given proper conditions, a small wisp of steam is visible coming from the radiator area. I added a UV dye to the cooling system, and it is visible then.
I had the same with my GTI 2015 manual, I was braking less because I was using the engine brake a lot. At 8000 km I made a complaint at the dealer, they changed the discs, and suggested that I brake harder
Got my steering rack replaced two months ago and taking my car back to the dealer on Monday due to the same noise issue that started to happen week after repair.
I also had the coolant replaced. I asked for the OEM stuff, which I guess is pink (?). They said mine was pretty much black !
