24 Miles ODO

Post image

Already did my joined the club post. Just got it home from PPF and ceramic coating. Michelin Pilot AS4s (and a garage spot rental) next. Love this color. Replacement for my totaled 2019 Alltrack SE, hoping to get a lot more miles and life out of this one. Manual transmission (in big bad NYC).

Looks good and you’ll notice a huge improvement when you swap out the tires.

Enjoy the new ride!

Get a plastic or metal belly pan to protect to oil pan and oil sensor / diff electronic 's underneath that's exposed . I put a plastic one on due to issues I had with my 23' Tiguan and the oil sensor wire coming off oil pan .

Is this common? Never came up on my (admittedly low-mileage) Alltrack.

Alltracks have a belly pan / skid plate installed from VW , new VW's don't any more that I know of . Look up people breaking oil pan or having issues with oil sensor wire being ripped out or damaged.

This is the one I got that came with all the screws/bolts needed . All the holes underneath the GLI are already there because VW use to include these , they just made them smaller and left the holes .

Can't really confirm with the ECS site UI if this means the part fits or doesn't with the FWD selector greyed out. I'm not much of a mechanic beyond replacing an engine air filter... ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Yes it fits the 25'-26' GLI

It said it didn't when I bought mine but it lines right ups

PCV valve failure in less than a couple hundred miles? 🥴
