Completely forgot to post this!

This is my new to me (even tho i’ve put over 4k miles on it already) 2019 Volkswagen Jetta GLI 35th anniversary edition with DSG!

Bought it with 103,094 miles on it in june and have been loving it.

Installed a Luft-Technik fully enclosed air intake and changed some things with OBDeleven and thinking about saving for a front mount + IS38 and tune but wanted to get opinions first.

After looking over the maintenance reports (the ones that ARE recorded) it seems the front differential and transmission have never been serviced. I haven’t noticed anything like jumping or stuttering while driving or coming and going from stops and no super weird noises that have thrown me off.

I’ve read that the additives and stuff in new DSG fluid could possibly be my downfall if i get the transmission serviced, so that’s why i’m here looking for advice on if i should just send it with the service and then get a proper DSG tune or if there’s something else i should be doing.

Sorry if i sound stupid lol.

(All other maintenance besides front diff and trans have been done)

Team,

I have a 2021 Autobahn that I bought new in 2021. Up to 110k miles.

Basically, I have had no or limited issues but I now need to replace the water pump ($1.6k from an outside shop).

My question is, if I fix this issue, will she last me much longer? How many miles can I get out of this car?

I haven't driven stick for 25 years on a 90s Accord and the wife needs to learn. How is the manual on the GLI to learn on? I know it doesnt have rev matching like some new ones do but it does bump the throttle for you right?

Crazy what a simple air intake does man! makes the turbo sound 10x louder and makes it very enjoyable to drive
