I'm just back from Monaco 2100 flawless miles, longest stint was 534 miles took about 10 hours with stops and traffic. Averaged 36 mpg which I thought was great with a boot full and 4 people.

I went the other way 18 to 19 also think tyres make a big difference because I feel the ride is better with 19s and mps4s then it was with the 18s and the stock Bridgestones. I dont have dcc either.

Had same problem with my panroof in first few months from new and had a complete new roof under warranty. Dealer couldn't do it so went to a vw bodyshop. Sorted the rattle out.

I went for the neuspeed wheels.

Did wonder why the difference. .

Mines just had its 3rd service which is just oil service same as the 1st, charged £230 because I requested long life oil instead of the regular 10/40 oil which my dealer uses on all fixed 12 month services. Was also told the fixed price servicing only applies to cars over 3 years old no idea why that would make a difference.

You can see the outline where the grommet was on mine as well, mines a 2017 car probably been missing for while.

Just collected my car from the dealers after a service told them about the drain tube and it will be done under warranty but need to order the part in.

This has happened to the drain on my r, going in for service on sat and still under warranty so hopefully they will sort it.

I changed the pads and discs on my other halfs car with pagid and had this issue. Was a good few hundred miles before the pads made full contact with the discs. Would say it's just a matter of bedding in.

My r came the cadiz wheels which i thought looked a bit small for the car so I brought some neuspeed rs 19 inch wheels which fill the arches much better. I use the cadiz in winter with full winter tyres. I dont have dcc and dont find the ride that much different.

Hi penguin car has only done 17000 but I did have the haldex oil and filter clean at 10000 because I read about the filter blocking up. they said it was quite clean. I know dealer would probably only do the oil but at least it would be recorded as being done if any warranty issues.

Cheers for that thought it should be a minor. Knew about brake fluid and haldex although service is due in June car isn't 3 years old till Sept so was going get those done with the mot then. Could the dealer have got them the wrong way round? as display says oil and inspection in 25days.

Would be better to supply own oil, like you say it will be right and cheaper as well. Would use an independent but have a 4th years warranty and plan to extend it at 4 years old, just think its makes things easier should a warranty claim arise if its VW service history.

Hi all just signed up, had my 2017 mk7.5 r from new just a few questions about the services. When I brought the r got the first 2 services for something like £150 I think which was oil service and oil and inspection. Car is now coming up for its 3rd service dealer has said it's a major service but I think it should just be an oil service is this correct? Next question about oil because it was on a service plan on the first service all I got was a piece of paper saying it had been serviced and never thought anything of it. On its second service they gave me a proper receipt which said they used shell helix hx7 10/40 oil. I said that this was the wrong oil for the r all I got was its correct oil for a fixed service and it was what was used on the first service. Was not happy about having this oil in for 12 months, I said it says VW 504 0il under the bonnet not 502 got nowhere with them even got VW customer service involved but they agreed with the dealer. Got the oil changed myself to VW 504 5/30. So if they wont use VW 504 5/30 or want extra money for it has anybody supplied their own oil to a main dealer and it's been ok?
