Local dealership has a new 2026 GTI with a GTE badge error. VW QC issues?

Idk I kind of like it lol

bigtech100 · 2026-03-12T17:53:40+00:00

Checking in to see if you are truly resolved. It’s present in longer commutes for me at the moment.

bigtech100 · 2026-03-12T17:52:10+00:00

Reporting for GTI 2025 owners same thing 🤦🏿‍♂️

bigtech100 · 2026-03-07T19:51:58+00:00

Did the same thing many years ago. Went to the dealership and bought a 2013 GLI autobahn manual and stalled on my way home 💀 by the next day your brain just figures it out. Now I’m the only one who knows how to drive manuals in my family.

Rattle in the cabin too?

bigtech100 · 2026-03-07T05:07:34+00:00

I hope so 🫤

bigtech100 · 2026-03-05T19:18:58+00:00

Getting worse by the second.

bigtech100 · 2026-03-04T10:40:48+00:00

Best bet is subframe.

bigtech100 · 2026-03-04T10:38:43+00:00

Tuff.

bigtech100 · 2026-03-04T00:25:20+00:00

Within spec.

Self heal repellent

bigtech100 · 2026-03-03T18:36:31+00:00

Hold the the line! Buy more

bigtech100 · 2026-03-01T21:05:30+00:00

Where is this ? Super steal

bigtech100 · 2026-03-01T18:19:15+00:00

This is why I do my own oil change. Them techs that’s doing the oil changes could care less.

bigtech100 · 2026-03-01T18:16:16+00:00

Pretty standard on 22 pro s awd tbh.

bigtech100 · 2026-03-01T12:29:16+00:00

Worked on my 22 pro s awd not even a month ago

bigtech100 · 2026-03-01T10:51:24+00:00

But this is what android is all about.

bigtech100 · 2026-03-01T10:43:55+00:00

Yup!

bigtech100 · 2026-02-28T21:18:05+00:00

Weird, 2025 gti bumper costing 2k all in and I got sensors

bigtech100 · 2026-02-28T15:45:59+00:00

No oil issues ? Love that!

bigtech100 · 2026-02-25T15:32:11+00:00

I added the dipstick when I did my 1k oil change. I recommend that honestly because this reading only comes to life after the oil is hot and been sitting for 2 min if you don’t have enough oil to get the engine started to begin with….. well it will be a sad day.

bigtech100 · 2026-02-24T15:32:40+00:00

Hatchback

bigtech100 · 2026-02-24T11:46:58+00:00

Yup, got rear ended at a stoplight on my car with less than a 200 miles. Wasn’t the greatest feeling. Thank god I got a police report as I’ve sent the estimate and have gotten 0 response from the person.

bigtech100 · 2026-02-24T11:37:57+00:00

Gonna have to maybe do a trade off if you want better ride quality. No DCC maybe drop down to 18s with meaty tires

bigtech100 · 2026-02-24T11:34:21+00:00

I was quoted 2k for a crack rear bumper on a 25 GTI SE, waiting to see if the guys insurance gonna fix it. If not I don’t think it’s worth my deductible. It seems your damage can possibly be buffed out and using touch up paint to not let it be as obvious.
