Not sure if that's what VW call them, but basically additional checks that go along with normal servicing as opposed to recalls?
I know mine had a modification to the turbo actuator (additional spacer fitted) at it's first service and a minor software update.
Does anyone have a list for the 1.2TSi? (2011 6R) and would VW do these automatically or would you need to ask them to check?
Service bulletins?

Re: Service bullitins?
My GTI had a DSG oil change when it was last in for turbo issues. This was part of an advisory as far as I know and automatically flagged up when I booked it in.
I am assuming that it will need the actuator spacer when it goes in for 2nd year service in March as I've had the turbo sensor replaced twice and the wiring to it replaced once (limp mode) so I'm thinking it's actually the spacer which needs to be done. Apparently it's very rare for the pressure sensor to go once let alone twice and I've a feeling the wiring was replaced the second time because they didn't believe I'd have 2 faulty sensors. The wiring change fixed it for a month before the second sensor was put in.
