    Maintenance of the Electronic Parking Brake

    I've seen a few posts where owners have had returned their cars to their dealer because of the EPB sticking and dealers have lubricated it. Does anyone have a pic/image of what area the dealers spray lubricant on and what lubricant do they use? Regards, R

    What did you do to your mk7 today?

    Tried to install genuine VW LED license lights - which I was told were "plug and play" by a VW dealer - only to find they triggered bulb out warning lamps. Returned said lamps for full refund due to cost of VCDS coding by dealer.

    Anyone changed their oil after 1500 miles?

    Has anyone changed the oil in their Golf after 1000 - 2000 miles to drain the small amount of bits of metal produced during running in? If so, what brand of oil have you used - or did you just change the filter and not the oil?

    Use of Super Unleaded

    On the interior side of the fuel filler cover on my Golf, it states "Super Unleaded". Has anyone used super unleaded of 98RON or above in their 1.4 122 Tsi Golf? If so, have you noticed any performance advantages of using it over normal 95RON unleaded?
