£120 thats cheap is this for first service at dealership?

that's for first oil change at dealership, that's 7 litres of 0W-20 at 15 quid/litre plus another 20 as charge for half hour's work

Detailing / Re: water spots spotted on front hood

thanks all

problem is about to go away via paintwork, having the entire hood painted over at the dealers next week due to slight scratch after i bumped into the back of a Yaris  :whistle: :whistle: I guess that's another way to go about fixing imperfections  :grin: :grin:

Golf mk8 / Re: Arch fittings for 19's

at first I found them puzzling but now they grew on me, i kind of like the looks of them and that they are unique to the 19'' wheels.  one thing i noticed, they collect very tiny pieces of sand which you can clean using a brush.  could that be a use for them?

Yeah, I feel like I’m rotating it closer to the wheel every day. I thought for a minute, I just mustn’t have it dialled in right, but obvs now I know it is an issue. Cannot get over it’s such a long wait for them to get it in. Mind blowing

Is it the backrest you mean? Where it seems to recline a little bit? Yes, this is a known problem, I’ve seen several people report it. I think I’ve noticed it to some small degree in my car too.

Mine was the plastic sump as mentioned above. I fitted a genuine VAG steel one in its place.

It’s one whole piece. It’s bolt on, and actually not a very difficult DIY job afaik. The dealers is obviously where you go to get one new. I think they’re at least 1k. A German shop has it here, and it looks like they come pre painted:

Or you might get lucky in a breakers yard.

Golf mk8 / Re: Car disconnected from vw account?

This was pretty much on five years.

No idea what they are playing at.

I don't really care apart from the stupid message that pops up every time I start the car

The sump is plastic, it may be worth checking that it isn't cracked. It could also just be spillage from where it has been topped up.

I may have answered my own question, the smaller section does look to be slightly different so it'll be whole whole thing by the looks of it
