mindless ramblings

In the spirit of the name of this blog, I’ll just randomly blabber on about the GTI. I think I’m going to use the blog to just keep a running journal of the car, kinda like TrueDelta but with less statistics.

It’s been 20 days since we got the car and it’s been completely problem free. 2 tanks of gas (Shell 91 and Husky 92) have gone into the car. With just over 800km on the odometer, that works out to roughly 400km/tank  without really stepping on it at all. This appears to be expected though, and mileage will improve after 8000km.

One thing to look out for is topping up engine oil. The 2.0T seems to burn oil relatively fast, so a check will probably be done at 1000km in case any top up (VW 502.00 approved only!) is needed.

Besides that, everything is great. Seat warmers warm up quick, Climatronic keeps things cool (or warm) and the Gorilla Gear trunk liner is just awesome.
