    2017 SE PP: 17" fit wheels okay?

    Hi everyone, I really like this car so want to upgrade a little 1. New wheel and (all season) tire package, in 17's for a taller sidewall. I believe 17's will fit over the brakes but just want to make sure with you guys. Also, if you have any pics of yours on 17's would love to see them. My...

    2017 SE & Dealer Quote for Brakes and Tires

    I'm at 56k on the original pads, rotors and fluid so after a Dr appointment I stopped at the dealer to get some numbers. Dealership was right across the street so it was easy enough. 1. The Service Advisor told me they will not replace just the pads. I asked "If rotors are within specs and...

    Front Wheel Bearings @45K - How much $ at dealer?

    I can feel/hear that my '17 GTI is going to need front wheel bearings soon. I believe its both of them. Its not the brakes. This same thing has happened to ALL my VW's in past, but much sooner, before 25K hit. So I guess quality has improved a bit over the years:D Is this item covered under...

    40K check-in of a 2017 SE

    So far the Car has been good. Only been to dealer once (at 10K). DIY oil changes are so easy so I'd rather spend my own money and time in my garage instead of their waiting room. Needed tires at 36K Brakes still good Surprisingly, the air filter still looks like brand new Sunshade...

    Oil level & quality after Dealer service

    Had the car in for the leaky sunroof fix, tire rotation and an oil change. Checked the oil 3 days later and to my surprise it goes past the twist. Car had been sitting for 4 hours and its on a level surface. Mind you, before I brought it in the level was right at the top of the hash marks...
