Just got an email from VW saying that the price for the navigation option on the Ready 2 Discover has now been reduced.
Previously, the upgrade was around 650 EUR, now it's reduced to 315 EUR.

Now, I mostly use Google/Apple maps, but the appeal here is to have the navigation displayed in the ...

I have a 2020 pre-facelift South African built Polo GTI+ and before that, I owned a 2016 Spanish built previous generation Polo GTI. I’d say that the build quality of the Spanish built car was certainly better than my current car. Body panel shut lines were more uniform, and it just generally ...

Wondering how happy you are with the build quality of your GTIs.

Just dropped my car to the garage - I've had a humming noise coming from the rear end when the car would exceed 50 MPH. VW technician said that it was due to a faulty wheel bearing - on 8000 miles?

The car also has several squeaks ...

My 2023 GTI has a Ready 2 Discover (VW MIB3) system found in cars manufactured after 2021, with the exception of the Golf Mk 8.

The issue is with Apple Music - when using it via wireless CarPlay, it sometimes buffers songs for five minutes, stops playing songs in the middle or just can't find any ...

VW rates cars with higher octane fuel, so if the 2022 GTI is rated at 207 HP, it develops that amount of power only when using premium fuel.
My personal experience is that the car feels a bit more feisty when using 100 octane fuel and consumes it a bit less, but the difference is marginal.
As it's ...

Hi y'all,

My facelifted GTI has Ready 2 Discover with an option to buy satellite navigation later - I mostly use Apple or Google maps, so I probably wouldn't gain as much, but I do like the idea of having the map in the digital cockpit.

Are there any other advantages of upgrading to the factory ...

Anyone noticed a buzzing noise coming from passenger speaker on beats audio when accelerating hard?
Any cure?

Thanks


Normal - the so-called sound actuator that mimics engine noise and vibration and causes a nasty dashboard rattle. Use individual mode to get rid of it - basically, put every ...

Tried to use sport mode in Normal and then switched to Sport (or Individual with the steering set to Sport) and I could barely tell the difference. I was expecting the steering to become a bit heavier, but it's still pretty light. Can anyone tell the difference or is it supposed to be subtle?
Mind ...

Finally got mine delivered after exactly 9 months!

So far I love it, and I'm impressed with the build quality. Really looks and feels like a much more expensive car inside.

Is anyone doing the break in period for the engine? I still haven't crossed the magical 1000 km (600 mile) threshold where ...

I think so - they called me to check if I'm willing to add Digital Cockpit Pro as an option as it may speed up the delivery - in most markets it's standard equipment, but I was unaware that there were two types of digital cockpits. The standard one is like the one you'd get in a normal facelifted ...

Just heard from my dealer, they have a VIN number and a delivery date, the 44th week > late October or early November. Which is exactly on point with the 270 day period initially agreed upon.

Struggling to understand the delay considering it was ordered within a day or so of the order book opening.

You're saying that you've ordered one in November?

Some youtubers lifted the bonnet and apparently the car doesn't have a plastic engine cover. Is that normal?

My company's VW Caddy van doesn't have one either (it's from 2016 and has around 50k miles) and the engine looks a bit... worn? No complaints about reliability though. But some parts ...

Tyres - I noticed this was on Michelin Primacy 3 tyres. bit of a change from Bridgstone rubbish.



That's a shame - I don't understand how can they put a cheap tyre on a supposedly performance car. Michelin Primacy 3 comes standard on budget french hatchbacks.
I had the same tyre size on my ...
