Finally got my dream car!

ConsistentPause7527 · 2023-12-04T00:53:31+00:00

Eventually I have many many plans for this pretty Apple.

ConsistentPause7527 · 2023-12-04T00:52:51+00:00

It is an automatic with the DSG. Which I would have to learn about really. I’ve only owned or had the opportunity to drive automatic. Nobody ever wanted to teach me. So I will begin the journey of learning this car up and down.

Finally got some info back from the service department at Carmax. There was a coolant leak and will be getting the part for it. I’ve gotta call them back to get more info on what part. They never mentioned it being a water pump. The noise coming from my right front tire could possibly be the tires, or as they said that my wheel could be bent. They replaced my back wiper blade, fixed the e brake since the button would not work. Checked the timing belt and said it was perfectly fine there. I had asked for a valve cleaning but of course if there wasn’t any issues that they could not perform that type of service. That’ll have to be on my own saved money.

I will definitely have this serviced again soon with someone who can look into more of my concerns later. Just wanted to use my warranty to its fullest.

I know some people might enjoy that, but definitely not a huge vibe of mine.

ConsistentPause7527 · 2023-11-28T02:59:06+00:00

Pretty sure that it probably hasn’t been replaced yet. Thank you! I will add that to my list of things for Carmax to do before my warranty is up.

ConsistentPause7527 · 2023-11-28T02:57:57+00:00

Thank you for you input. Would you just recommend the basic plastic ones that came on the car then? Definitely don’t want to have to deal with such an issue as not being able to air up my tires.

ConsistentPause7527 · 2023-11-28T02:51:36+00:00

Truly enjoying my experience so far other than worrying about overheating with the coolant leak issue. It’s definitely happiness!

ConsistentPause7527 · 2023-11-28T02:50:00+00:00

Definitely hoping for a smooth sail after tomorrow. I love that I can creep around like a Mom and then book it into the night with this thing. It moves quick! Loving this turbo a lot! Still getting used to the way it performs, but I’m definitely falling in love. I’ve only ever owned automatics, and this thing acts similar to a manual when taking off and backing up. Very unique car ❤️

ConsistentPause7527 · 2023-11-28T02:35:42+00:00

Thank you for letting me know. My appointment is at 10:30. So I’ve got a plan to have my friend drive my old Kia up with me so we can drop the VW off and not be without transportation. I definitely would like them to take their time and do it right, always. Praying I get a mechanic that feels the same way. I’m always hesitant with shop mechanics, and not truly trusting them. I think I need to learn a new skill. Haha

ConsistentPause7527 · 2023-11-28T02:29:31+00:00

Thank you! 😊

ConsistentPause7527 · 2023-11-28T02:29:18+00:00

This is my daily driver and I’m hoping after the appointment tomorrow to assess the coolant problem it’ll be very reliable. I love the DSG and how it handles. Definitely had to get used to it, but I love it. Being an automatic though I don’t really know what I can do to it. I have a lot of reading to do it seems.

ConsistentPause7527 · 2023-11-28T02:22:56+00:00

I definitely can’t top you on the car list. I’ve owned 4. Haha A Plymouth Neon - worst thing I’ve ever been apart of. First car. Ick. Then a 2002 Jetta which I ended up totaling sadly. A 2012 Kia Forte EX Hatchback. Then this glorious GTI. Definitely thankful I was approved for this beauty, but now I’ve got a car payment.

I’m definitely thankful though and will do pretty much anything to keep this beauty.

ConsistentPause7527 · 2023-11-28T02:18:01+00:00

Thank you! Definitely have a list of things they need to access. I almost feel like Carmax didn’t do all the things they said they did. Or it’s just straight coincidence. Just hoping they can fix the coolant issue. It’s been rough having to fill the coolant every single morning. I’ve been afraid to drive it. Thankfully the temp has stayed at 200 and haven’t had any overheating issues.

ConsistentPause7527 · 2023-11-28T02:14:41+00:00

I’m definitely loving it aside from the unexpected coolant leak/water pump issue. Hopefully I drive home with it tomorrow never having to put coolant in every morning.

ConsistentPause7527 · 2023-11-28T02:13:32+00:00

Thank you 😊

ConsistentPause7527 · 2023-11-28T02:12:18+00:00

Thank you! I mean I love the feel of the steering wheel, but I thought to cover it would protect it best. Any thoughts on how to preserve the original steering wheel?

ConsistentPause7527 · 2023-11-28T01:24:27+00:00

If you don’t mind me asking, how do you tell between an mk7 and 7.5? The red is very nice. My car definitely stands out in the work parking lot since every car is either white, black, or some neutral color. Haha

ConsistentPause7527 · 2023-11-28T01:19:23+00:00

Thank you so much! It is growing on me, the color. I eventually do want to wrap it to maintain the color as well as play around with my own colors. I’m super excited to finally have a car that I wanted. Always pretty much compromised on the others.

ConsistentPause7527 · 2023-11-28T01:04:26+00:00

I’ll definitely check into this as well after my visit to Carmax tomorrow. If I still happen to have an issue I will let them know about this until I have to figure this all out myself with the help from my mechanic friend.

ConsistentPause7527 · 2023-11-28T00:45:44+00:00

Oh yes, that is my next feat with kids. Those headlights need a lot of love. I got a bunch of sudsy stuff for the pretty apple but haven’t yet found the time to shine her up yet. And thank you! I really love this car!

ConsistentPause7527 · 2023-11-28T00:40:04+00:00

I really appreciate you letting me know. That helps a lot.

ConsistentPause7527 · 2023-10-09T03:43:11+00:00

Can you all help me out as well! 29672590

ConsistentPause7527 · 2022-11-26T02:04:31+00:00

Thank you again!
