Hey everyone,
I've got a 2019 GTI SE with a 6MT, with honestly a host of issues. I bought it new this past June (leftover), and have got 10,200 miles on it. I've taken it to the dealer for it's 10k and for another visit, and they keep telling me the issues I'm experiencing are normal. I hoped I'd check with everyone on here to see if you all have any further recommendations for how to deal with them, or if you experienced dealer fixes.
Creaks are all over the place. I've got squeaks from my backseat (only fixed when the seats are folded), from the sunroof, and the door creaking is horrific. I applied wax to the doorsills, which worked for about a week - now it's back and even worse, even after applying more. It seems like the sunroof creaks are reduced when I close the shade, but I could be wrong. I removed the plastic trim from the glovebox that is known to rattle, to no avail. When I start the car occasionally I'll get a super loud juddering that I think comes from the cargo cover - sounds like a bus going over bumps, and this sound continues over big bumps themselves.
I also had the fuel line rattle, horribly bad. Took it in and they checked and said it was fine - it stopped after that, except for occasional rattles around 2500 rpm.
Lastly, I've had major carplay issues. About once a week, my carplay screen goes black, bluetooth won't connect to my phone, and there's nothing I can do other than shut the car off, exit, lock it, wait a minute, then re-enter and it works fine.
I love the car but these issues are ridiculous, worse than nearly any car I've been in. I guess what I'm asking is if this stuff just always happens, and those of you that had it, what were solutions? I've searched a ton of posts, and the door creaking is really the only place I could find solutions for. Those of you that went to the dealer, did they ever fix any of this for you? Thanks all.
