Hey guys,
Figured I'd share my story.
'15 GTI, 29K miles. Here's what I've got so far:
* After changing tires recalibrated TPMS. Some time later alert popped saying front passenger is low. Checked pressure. Same as was. Weather conditions didn't change either. Reset TPMS. Issue came back one more time never to appear again.
* While it was -2F outside Soundakor started producing ripped speaker noices. Issue went away once it warmed up a little.
* At some point Check gas cap alert popped while the cap was closed and properly attached. The dealer saw unexplained error in the logs. Issue never came back.
* Clutch started producing metallic clicking noises when I depress it or let go with feedback to the foot. Two trips to the dealer. They got nothing cause issue is not reproduced consistently.
* Bluetooth unpairs from the phone in case I was talking over and got second incoming call. Again, not reproduced consistently enough to get fixed.
* Oil pressure low alert popped. Checked the level. Turns out missing a quart. Confirmed, indeed it's leaking oil. Latest news from the dealer - I'll be getting new engine. The car is still at the dealer.
Needless to say the car was properly serviced. I didn't put it through any track or even traffic light races. It mostly saw highways in 6th gear. At this point I'm pissed. Filed complaint with VW. Will see what happens next.
