Re: Correct oil for GTI 1800 6c?

What is the correct service interval for the gti? Mine is year old and says I still have year to go for oil service? Is that right?

I did not realise there is long life interval as well on the 1.8 gti

vw connect and battery voltage

I picked up one of the free data plugs from vw and download the new vw connect app. Seems to work quite well but my battery voltage is showing 13.3v is this good or bad?

Shut line is even but there is about 2mm gap between panels on passenger side. Flush completely on drive side. My car is whi...
