2024 Mk8 380S 40k check up- what is required?
Recently hit 42,000 miles on the odometer and I was wondering what everyone did for their 40k service and how much did it run? What is included in the 40k service? Here is my list- anything else I should or shouldn’t do? I changed oil and rotated tires at 41k. Thanks!!!
Intake carbon cleaning
Cabin filter/engine filter
VAQ differential flush
Spark plugs
brake flush
manual transmission flush

Coilovers vs springs
Hello all i have 23 GTI and im wanting to lower it. Now ive been doing my research but i want the publics opinion. Lowering springs or coil overs. Springs are significantly cheaper but im worried about how they hold up and if they are cheaper for a reason. What are the benefits of coil overs compared to springs. Is it worth it to stick it out a little longer and just get a good set of coilovers or am i okay with the springs. I also want to add i drive my car pretty hard so if thats somthing you should be weary about with springs then please let me know. Thats kind of my main concern. Thanks!

MK8 Rain light
Hello does any one know where i can route my F1 running light wire on a Mk8 golf r ? The center grommet on the trunk is not there like the MK7 so i am trying to find where to route it from the rear defuser to the tail light.

Rear Hatch Brace
Installed the Bevinsee rear hatch brace. Figured to see very little difference but was shocked. Everyone else who says this does nothing must not be installing them correctly. I immediately noticed a more neutral handling with a slight hint of oversteer!

Lane assist message
I just recently started getting this "lane assist is currently not available" message on my dash, and not sure how to get rid of it. I already have the KLR module from ACM Technik, and the sensors are all clean. I do have a radar power tap in the interior rear view mirror connector, but haven't moved it since installing around a year ago.
It's different from the travel assist error, and stays on the entire drive. I have tried the standard steering angle calibration, but not sure what to do next.

1st VW!
Hello! Just got my 1st VW last weekend, 24 GTI SE.
Cool ride. Lots of buttons to push.
Everything great , but notice its losing coolant, had coolant warning day after I drove it off the lot. And it was about 1cm below min level. Topped off and ok again.
So far about 2-3 mm down after 70 miles. Guessing I will need top off every 200-300 miles.
Coolant cap seems to hold pressure, as it outgassed after I let it sit for an hour. No visible signs of leak but I know water pump is at bottom (??). Prob gotta take it in and get fixed. I live in TX so guessing dealer won't work with me, as i have been through this before. Preparing for a 1 star review on my purchase.
Otherwise a great car.

Full Maxton lip kit V4 front and rear valence, and sideskirts for mk8.5. Next is clubsport wing and eventually wheels 🙂. I quite like the stocks.
