gti pre delivery requests

[brad]

how can particles just stay in the sump ?

if there is particles in the oil they either get caught by the oil filter or they are too small for the filter to catch

either way metal particles in oil isnt good no matter their size

regarding sump plugs, yes what you say has some merit , but as well with the advent of alloy engines , alloy isnt magnetic

Gears, cranks, con-rods, cams, etc are. EA888 in the Golf is still 32kg of iron block. The Polo is an EA111 iron block isn't it?

I agree with Wai. The particles either stay in the sump, get caught by the filter or are so small that they are inconsequential. We're talking family shopping trolleys, not balanced & blueprinted F1 engines.

Plus the fact that these engines are actually pre-installation run-in and have their oil changed out, inpected, engine into sub-frame, installed into car and re-filled.

The motor-man article is what I followed and yes, i found some grit in my oil when changed out at 6000kms but changing after 3-4 days seems, well, a little too precautious.

And yes, they will know because the sump plug has a different head from the factory vs the replacement part. You can re-use the original but there is a reason they use an Aluminium crush washer on them....

F1 doesnt matter since they get a rebuild every race

metal particles in oil arent a good thing

the whole point of the discussion is

is it better to have metal particles in your oil or not ?

planning on long term ownership then for me early oil change

Sorry, keep forgetting I'm not qualified & have no knowledge of this stuff. Carry on with the motherhood statements.

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.

Here's my thoughts on being fussy with the dealer: it's your car, it's your money, you paid for it, be as fussy as you want. These "stealers" can be pains in the arse. They are often deceitful and honestly can easily take advantage of people. Stand your ground and if you want something, then fight for it. My dealer was decent for the first few times I brought in the Polo,for small issues, but starting to get quite rude after several times I brought it in for the SAME loud rattle in the rear. They wanted to charge me to continue to search, even though I told them exactly where the rattle was......but I said if they had fixed it the first time, we would not have had the conversation. So by all means, you can never be too cautious or demanding. It's your hard earned money!
