    17 GTI here. Does anyone know if it's possible to disable or code out the alarm sound that happens when you pull the manual handbrake? I don't mind the BRAKE light on the dash but the alarm beep/ding is terribly annoying. I've searched all over the web and through every option I can find on...

    2017 cost savings measures

    So we are generally familiar with some of the things changed by VW for 2017 as cost-savings measures; the lack of felt lining in some of the compartments/glove box, the missing battery tray cover, etc. Most of these are documented well. I just noticed last week on my 2017 GTI Sport that the...
