Thanks got the mats, around £25 for front inc VAT, just need a bottle opener centre console divider now, realised this is missing, seen one for £7 on ebay.
Go back to the stealer, and ask them to give you the bottle opener FOC, as it was standard spec when the car was new.
Service light came up today, 500 miles to go
phoned local VW garage and they advised that car isnt set up for variable servicing and that there is also a recall on the engine management to install?? know what this is. Calling in first thing Thursday to have sorted.
Your GTI really shouldn't be on the LongLife variable servicing anyway (unless you never go above 3,000rpm

). Saying that, even though it is on the shorter interval Time and Distance servicing, insist they only use the higher spec LongLife oil (pay extra for it, as it is better suited to the very high temps in the turbo bearings). One other point, if getting it serviced bang on the 500 miles is inconvenient, or they don't have a courtessy car, you are allowed a period of "grace", of upto 1,000 miles or one calender month beyond the date/mileage due - and it won't affect your warranty.
Regarding the recall, on any main stealer service, as a matter of routine, they will automatically update the engine management ECU (and any auto/DSG transmission ECU) with the latest available from VW Germany.
