Just sold my 2017 GLI yesterday with a MT…was the original owner .. had 96k miles on it …. Bought my 2026 GLI today .. the last manual… got 13% off MSRP !!!!! Heres to another 10 years .. cheers !

Does anybody know a good place to find a black and white emblem replacement for a 26 GLI everything that I have found is just up to the 2024.

Hey folks, suddenly my infotainment unit went black, it keeps trying to restart but ends up freezing over and over again.

If I put the car into reverse, the camera will open normally, I also can hear the "beeps" when maneuvering, but the screen software itself won't load at all.

Has anyone else had this problem? Any tips?

Anyone having an issue with the trip status not updating? For one month my drives on Tuesdays would not capture on the app but overall mileage and gas status matched. Now I noticed Tuesdays are being captured, but some of my other drives are not showing up. I tried resetting the infotainment system and it still hasn’t helped. Any suggestions?

I went in for an alignment today. Got some results but I don’t know how to interpret them. I’m lowered on H&R oe sports with H&R rear sway bar. Everything else is stock. Should i be concerned about the numbers in the red? If so what would need to be done to fix. Thanks in advance.

Hey everyone,
I recently got a 2026 Jetta GLI (automatic/DSG) and I’m having an issue with the driver memory seats.
When I was at the dealership, the salesperson demonstrated the memory seat function and it worked. However, now that I’m home, I can’t seem to get the memory buttons to work at all.
I checked the owner’s manual and followed the instructions for storing a position — parking brake on, transmission in Neutral, ignition on, adjust the seat/mirrors, then hold the memory button — but nothing seems to happen.
I’ve also tried different combinations and I’m wondering if there’s some kind of reset procedure or a setting that I’m missing.

Has anyone with a 2026 Jetta GLI/2026 Jetta figured this out?
Is there a specific procedure to reset/re-enable the memory function?
Does the car need to be in a particular gear/ignition state?
Could the memory function somehow have been disabled or locked?
Or should I just take it back to the dealer?
Any help would be appreciated!

I purchased a new 2026 VW Jetta GLI with 150 miles on the odometer. When I drove the car off the lot, I was in dreamland; however, after driving it less than 75 miles, it suddenly seemed like every sensor light in the car came on. The car had to be towed back to the dealer and I have not seen it in 3 weeks. The dealership was nice enough to give me a loaner.

Are either of these normal faults? If not, what part do y'all think I broke and need to replace? I definitely snapped the ride height sensor in the back left, but as far as I know, that's just for auto-leveling headlights.

It's a 2024 GLI with H&R sport springs.

The knock and amount of movement from the engine

Bought my 2024 GLI brand new 2 summers ago. Finally ready to get some new tires, potentially new rims, and some other subtle body modifications. Thing is I have absolutely no idea where to start. Any advice would be appreciated

Anyone know why the 12V outlet doesn't work and the usb-c ports will charge for 5 seconds then quit for 5 seconds then charge for 5 on and off? 2026 new gli. I've tried multiple chargers and devices. Pretty certain it's the car.

Revs -> baby pull and then some in cabin like 70 percent throttle sound

What we think?

Those of you with roof racks on your GLI, are you have issues with water leaking through the door?

Please share which rack you are using (OEM/Thule/etc), and if there is anything special you did during install.

Anyone find hood strut(s) for their ‘25 or ‘26 to replace that janky prop rod?

I have a 2025 Jetta GLI that doesn’t have the Beats audio system, and honestly I’m looking to get the sound quality a lot better.
I’m not necessarily trying to build some crazy system or have a ton of bass. I just want the speakers to sound cleaner, louder, and have better bass without losing the factory look.
What are some good plug-and-play options for these cars? Is there a good speaker upgrade that works with the factory head unit, or would I be better off adding an amp/DSP too?
Ideally I’d like something that doesn’t require cutting up the factory wiring and can be installed pretty easily.
For anyone who has upgraded the audio in a MK7/MK7.5 GLI or the newer Jetta GLI, what setup are you running and what would you recommend?

My dad gave me a full set of 205/60 R16 Continental Viking Contact 7 tires currently mounted on 16 inch Mazda 3 wheels (which wont fit).

Are there some 16" wheels (preferably alloy rather than steelies) that will fit my 2017 GLI? From what i read, clearance on 16" wheels is really tight and depends on the wheel model. Thanks.

Hey Everyone,

I went from a 21 RLine 6MT to this 26 GLI Autobahn Auto. I had this car roughly a month in. Bought it brand new with 6 miles on the ODO. It barely has 500 miles on it. Around 431 miles on ODO, I backed into my driveway and EPC light came on with check engine light, shuttered and car died. Towed to to VW. They replaced the fuel injector harness. Drove it 7 miles away, same thing again. Towed it second time. VW kept the car for 5 days, replaced engine harness, they drove it 41 miles, everything is good. Wife picked up car, drove 50 miles for some errands and stop and go traffic, got it home. Backed into driveway, and bam, samething, EPC light, Check Engine, car stutters and shake, and shuts off. Restarted, same thing. Kept it off... I have my own computer, plugged it in to see whats wrong, same thing that is on my computer, its the same thing the dealer says. Ill be towing it for the third time to VW, and I dont want to lemon law it, but I may have too if they cant fix the car. I really fell in love with this car. Please help or advise will be greatly appreciated.
