They're driving it for 20 miles so they don't have to fix it for free [emoji6]

Oh yeah, right!
Well I'm getting excited, Service Adviser just texted that they found the L/R window regulator loose and it was causing a lot of my noises. They tightened it and are still working on the rest of the list. Yay!
Edit: Just informed that the dealership's MK7 GTI S 6MT loaner is due back today so tonight or tomorrow I get to trade my loaner 2017 Passat SE in for the GTI. In the first 1k miles it needed rear brakes and a clutch due to some yahoos having fun. Now they are very picky who they loan it out too. GTI drivers only and you have to have a good relationship with them. I've known my Service Adviser since I was 10, so score! Will obviously be updating all the DSG vs Manual and the Regrets threads after driving it

That is the worst! I have a tree nearby that loves to drop these red berries that explode when they land and the liquid dries and hardens onto the clear coat instantly. Only way to get it off is with a clay bar.
The pine pollen has begun. I won't be washing it for the next three weeks, it's pointless.

Here in CA where I live, we had some strange weather and the trees couldn't decide WTF was up, so they flowered and released pollen early. My car turned from CSGM to Yellow. My wife wanted to do some shopping up north, so I dropped her off and took my car to the local detailer for a $100 full detail and wax with a polisher. Not only did it "fix" most of the swirls I caused by using a dirty clay bar mitt, but also helped keep the pollen off due to the nice thick layer of wax. That is how they up-sold me from a simple wash, and low and behold they didn't lie. I guess it also helps that the trees stopped releasing pollen a few days after.....

Birds do that in these parts. Agree though, tree sap is a hassle to remove, often easier to wash the entire car....
Rainwater is better for the final rinse if it’s filtered and has no particles in it. Mains water usually has some elements in it that leave watermarks (fluoride,
Lime etc) whereas rain water doesn’t. Filtered water is best for final rinse.

Looks great. Don't worry, I had some reverse rake when I first installed mine but it evened out after a couple of hundred miles.Finally lowered on ED springs last night. Rear is perfect for meC hopefully the front settles a tad more.
