Took my GTI in for its second annual service.
Also got two new tyres - Contisport Contact 5 to match the existing Contisport Contact 2 that are only half worn - new tyres on the back wheels, with the part worns now on the front. There wasn't much difference in price compared to the fast fit type places, and they promised they would be careful with my wheels - which they were (no marks on the wheels)
There was also recall work done to replace the fuel pump (campaign 20W5), but no other work was needed and I politely declined the air conditioning service.
Slightly amusing conversation with the service advisor when booking the car in.
VW : Since you have a GTI do you want us to wash your car ?
Me : No thank you - I was just about to say 'Please don't wash my car'
VW : Thought you would say that - we've found that owners of the GTI/GTD/R tend to be a bit more fanatical about their cars so don't want us to wash them.
