Kind of wierd because not much in life comes earlier then quoted. How's yours? Any immediate issues?
None at all, it's everything I hoped for and my expectations were pretty high. Only quirk is the stoopid BT Touch Adapter (which is redundant but can't be removed) is set up in Spanish. Don't care, it's going in a drawer as soon as the iPhone cradle arrives from Germany
Still learning the finer points of operating the phone via voice command and trying to play the actual song I want from the iPhone, but it's fun playing with some new toys.
Might make a couple of tweaks via VCDS but mostly I'm just going to enjoy driving it!
Hope you enjoy yours just as much!

Sounds good. I've got a galaxy s3 and the only holder to replace that bt screen is the bury 9 ones but apparently some codes need to be changed to get it to work. Don't know how much messing around is going to be involved but will look into it more after pick up. Got a guy coming on Wednesday to do the opti coat on it .
Hey guys I am expecting my gti around this time next month. I am kinda fussy when it comes to cars and was wondering if the list of pre delivery requests I have are within reason and if there is anything I should be aware of.
Want to get vw to:
*book the car in 3-4 days after delivery for a oil drop.
*Have the latest dsg and engine updates installed.
*have the new breather pipe installed
*have them fiddle with the codes to have my galaxy s3 bury 9 system ready to go.
Are these reasonable requests and am I missing anything?
This is my first time dealing with a new car so I am in unfamiliar territory.
Why do you want to change the oil after 3-4 days?
The dealer should have applied all relevant DSG and ECU updates anyway.
Again, why do you want to fit a new breather pipe? Is it an aftermarket pipe you want fitted?
On the Bluetooth, there should be no codes. The whole idea of Bluetooth is that you simply pair the phone with the device.

1. I have always dropped the oil after 10 hours of running in a new engine either in the car or on a dyno. It's just a personal preference after stripping down a few engines after being run in sometimes there is residue/material floating through the oil.
I am aware they update the software but do they slap on some sticker or something to show they have.
2. After doing some reading some people have had a little less oil consumption/soot, others haven't so atleast I'll have both to test.
3. I was under the assumption that if you remove the vw bt touch screen and replace it with a bury 9 phone dock that you get errors and connectivity issues without changing some codes. Can't seem to get a straight answer on this.

Correct on 3. It'll complain about the unit missing and lock out the BT completely (Non-Polo owners don't realize it comes with the Bury System 9 cradle as standard.). There's a bunch of people with VCDS cables, including me and I'm the one who figured that code too

Sweet at least that's solid information so I know what I'm going to have to do. There is a euro tuning shop local to me I may have to give them a buzz and see if they know how to do it.
In all honesty, if you have been running an engine for 3-4 days (or even 10 hours) with foreign body contamination and it has not been trapped by the filter, changing the oil is going to do very little. Whatever damage the foreign bodies were going to do have already been done. After all, the only part of the engine that would be exposed to any foreign material is the oil pump, and it will have been churning through the stuff for 3-4 days anyway. Hopefully it will have delivered the bodies to the filter where they will have become trapped and rendered harmless and would not be revealed when the oil was dropped.
If it gives you some peace of mind, then by all means change it. It is unlikely it would make any difference at all.

Yea peace of mind comes into play since it's our first "new car". Just curious about your name you Chinese/Hong Kong?

Na. Just my initials backwards Don't worry, I was once contacted by Golden Pages (the Chinese equivalent of Yellow Pages in Sydney) who were very disappointed I was not Chinese and so would not include a listing for me. I also used to resell computer hardware (essentially for clients I used to do setups for) and get the products from a wholesaler. I did that for years until I had to call in to chase up the delivery of my last order (a few thousand dollars worth). When the wholesaler discovered I was not Chinese, he cancelled the order and said he only dealt with Chinese resellers. I had to find another wholesaler.
That's some funny **** to be honest. Love my computers just built a new computer about 6 months ago. Went to Hong Kong to get all the parts whilst on holiday
The second he found out you were not Chinese, he would of Been mad that he wasn't charging more......lol
Don't want to touch it to be honest. If anything ever happens to the car they can't slap me with any tampering of anysort. Can never be too safe. Unless of course it won't effect anything to do with the warranty.
Never had a 100% brand new car nor new car warranty, I am completely in the dark to how fanatical they are with self servicing.
they wouldnt know if you have changed the oil
and not that it would matter anyway unless you use non spec oil and can be proved that it was the cause of the failure

each new vehicle i have had i have dumped the oil once it got home and you would be amazed at how much small metal flake is in the oil , you can see it but its too small to be filtered out
i have also used aftermarket filters and never had a vehicle in the dealer again unless its been a warranty issue so i am way way way in front of potential warranty issues

The reason you see these in the oil is because they don't make their way to the filter. They stay in the sump. Very small particles make no difference at all, provided the oil supply is OK. As long as the particles are smaller than the bearing clearance, any particle in the oil will simply pass through. As for parts in contact, they are already in contact.
In the past cars used to have magnetic sump plugs, however they fell out of favour because in the DIY era, owners used to almost have heart attacks when they saw this little tree of filings attracted to the magnet on the sump plug. The magnets were dropped. There was no sudden increase in engine failures, or filters getting clogged, but owners no longer felt like something was wrong with their pride and joy.
Engines are mechanical components, and there are many surfaces that are in direct contact, and you will get particles generated. This is perfectly normal, and is why you have filters. The filters will filter out particles that have been picked up by the oil pump and not allow them to circulate through the engine.
