I have a 2017 MK7 GTI SE DSG that has 95k miles on it. It’s a 5/2017 build that I bought new and I’m the only owner. I have stuck to the factory maintenance schedule at the dealer - 10k oil change interval and recommended DSG and brake fluid intervals. Over the years, I’ve replaced:
- thermostat (35k miles)
- sunroof foil tape was replaced because it peeled
- 2 window regulators
- 2 xenon headlight bulbs and one headlight module
- center console cubby lip (recall)
- 1 CV joint
- right front strut/mount, right wheel bearing, and control arm were replaced due to pothole damage. I had them do the left front strut and mount at the same time.
- Front pads and rotors done around 60k.
- Battery replaced at 5 years.
- plugs replaced at recommended interval.
- sunroof plastic trim cracked (twice) so it was replaced.
The car doesn’t seem to consume oil, the coolant level seems stable. The hvac blower motor started chirping recently, so I think it’s on its way out. The exterior and interior are in good shape. It’s been stock the entire time, no mods.
If I keep this car past 100k, what am I in for repair wise? Is there anything I should do/check now premptively to head off a major repair later?
