On my 2015 CC with a Unitronic Stage 1 tune, I use Mobil1 Euro 5w-40. I sent a sample to Blackstone at ~7200 miles and they said I had plenty left. I change at 8500.

On my 2016 GTI with 211K on it, the only oil used was Liquimoly. From 0 miles to 200K miles it burned a quart every 3500 miles and that never changed at all.

I replaced the battery of my 18 SE this year and did not code the battery. I replaced it with an OEM one from VW’s parts department and had no issues
In my case, about 1/2 to 3/4 CCW turn with philips screwdriver did the trick - now headlights aim just a little higher on each side… Importantly, I am not getting flashed by oncoming drivers while using the low-beam headlights.
Qmulus that is a great tip for removing that bolt. When I put my Golf R control arms and Audi solid rear bushings on our 2013 tiguan I lowered the sub frame because I was installing the dead set kit at the same time. Along with HD Bilstein shocks.
I ended up adjusting mine by 0.5 turns and they're great now. I guess yours could be even worse from the factory than mine were.
It's the pad compound and v. common for VWs. Often first thing in morning when there is moisture on them and moreso in reverse. You can do new pads and use something like a ceramic compound, it's a cheap fix.
I had a bosch alternator in my Mark 2.. 8valve motor. I noticed the battery was not being charged. so instead of dealing with the voltage regulator or brushes etc, b/c the unit was old I decided to go with a brand new one.
The water pump on our 2019 GTI fully failed a couple of months ago (turns out what I've been smelling since we got the car new was likely a very slow drip of coolant leaking). Well within warranty, well under the mileage.
