For Irish lads I was led to believe by dealer that the navigation 12.9 screen was standard, yes I saw it as extra but I think that's just for the Ida system I could be wrong and would need to establish.
The performance pack forced the semi slick which in total added over 7k.
I see a Dealer in Dublin has now put an advert for edition 50's ie open for
Orders. I was led to believe the Irish allocation was met so also a bit strange.

Same here, my car has had yearly dealer servicing and they use Shell Helix Pro 0w-30, in the beginning there weren't many manufactures making it to 504 spec and the VW oil came in the same style bottles as the Shell stuff, now it looks like Castrol, Motul make it to 504 spec.

The bongs are back (sos, travleasist l, ect) happens just like thay used to , anyone know if a replaced part has individual warranty and if so how long for and failing that how much is this going to cost to assuming ££££, also had the puddle lights fail one replaced a year or 2 ago then the others just gone. 21 reg mk8

Any help is appreciated

Came back on here to see if it was happening to anyone else.  My bongs are back before and after the software update that wiped my settings.  Front assist, travel assist, SOS, plus a newish one of "Data not available" popping up.   Mine is also a 21 plate.

I'm on an extended warranty for a couple more months and car is in for service and MOT next month and asked for this to be looked at. 

In the uk the pp  comes with the tyres as standard even though the configurator was showing a price of £880 extra vw uk said its standard everywhere   Dont know why they did it like this
 There are many bugs in the configurator that the dealers don’t have the answers to like if you order it in black you get the clubsport honey come air intake but not in any other colour which is bizarre and nobody knows what it is yet

Hi all,

TL;DR 0W-20 or 5W-30 for 2017 GTI?

Last year I took my new (to me) 67 plate MK7.5 non-PP GTI (no GPF) for a service with my independent.
Before my ownership the car had been serviced with 5W-30, but for this service the garage filled it up with 0W-20 oil.
His system gave VW 508 (0W-20) as preferred, and VW 504 (5W-30) or VW 502 (5W-40) as alternatives.
However, most oil selector tools (Opie, TDC, etc.) don’t list 0W-20 at all for my reg, which adds to the confusion.

I’ve since read that VW retroactively moved many EA888 engines to the thinner VW 508 for efficiency/emissions reasons 

The car has been running 0W-20 for the past year with no noticeable issues, but I want what's best for the engine long-term.
So as the next service is approaching do you experts have an opinion whether to switch back to 5W-30 or continue with the 0W-20? What are you using?
