Title: DIPSTICK
Post by: valentino on 25 March 2026, 12:30

Has anyone purchased an actual dipstick for the 8.5 GTI ?
i think i would like to check myself rather than relying on the monitor-- thoughts?

A previous thread should help - https://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=290993.0

Personally I've learned to embrace the electronic dipstick, far more convenient.

Probably a very silly question, but how do you navigate through the infotainment screen to the oil level screen?

Off the top of my head you want the 'car' menu and if it doesn't come straight up probably 'status' next. It shows tyres, oil and something else I can't recall.
