My wife's GTI (2012 GTI Autobahn) is serviced by VW and we purchased the vehicle new in October of 2011. After each service they always state the brake pads are good. Recently my wife has started hearing a scraping noise / rubbing coming from the brakes. This past Monday I had new tires...

So my wife sends me a image (see attachment) on her way to work this morning. She is concerned with the red ring of lights circling her tachometer and speedometer gauge. The GTI is a 2012 Autobahn and it has the stage 1 APR installed but has been deactivated for several months at the request of...

My wife’s 2012 GTI Autobahn DSG with 49k miles displayed a check engine light this past Monday when she started to the car to go to work. She drove our Tacoma to work and the GTI remained in the driveway till I came home from work. I borrowed a scan tool from a co-worker and it displayed P150A...

We own a 2012 GTI DSG Autobahn that we purchased new back in October 2011. It is my wife’s car and she is the primary driver. At just over 39k miles we were on our way to Las Vegas on I-15 (60 miles from Las Vegas) and the GTI just dies. The GTI restarts with no dash lights illuminated and we...

Yesterday the wife and I are out and about for a good part of the day put over 100 miles on the GTI. Later in the afternoon on our way home on the freeway traveling at 65 mphs I went to accelerate over to the off ramp and the GTI would not accelerate past 4,000 rpm's. The GTI had no power above...

Looking for some help in locating a company / dealership that provides great pricing for extended warranty for my wife's 2012 GTI. The vehicle has 39,8XX miles and is closing in rapidly on 40,000 miles. Several weeks ago our fuel pump under the rear seat went out and it cost just over $1,200.00...

We have had our 2012 Autobahn since October 2011 and it has been such a blast to drive that we have been thinking about getting a new vehicle for some time now. We ( my wife and I) have looked at the Porsche Cayman S and the new Stingray Corvette but in the end we felt the best car was the new...

Hi, Just purchased a new 2012 GTI Autobahn and had the APR stage 1 installed today. I have read that it takes some time for the ECU to adapt to the software change but I can tell you that I noticed an immediate difference in the power of the car. If it gets stronger the longer I drive it, it...

Hi, I had just sold the wife's 2002 BMW 525i that purchased new. We were looking at buying a new 535i with the M sport package but after we drove the car we felt the car was to bloated and not as nimble as our 525i. The new 535i is nice but it felt more like a Lexus if that makes sense. We...
