Booked it in for its 3rd service next Weds. This will be the last service whilst the car is in my ownership before it makes way for the R. Asked them to check out a creaking noise form the front end at the same time.
Whist the service girl was taking details over the phone, she said, “oh yes, you’re the lady who doesn’t want her car washing” Oh no! my reputation precedes me

: The big 'no washing this car' sign has obviously worked

They also apparently don’t service many GTI’s!!
Also booked in for MOT in August.
