r/GLI

I have a 24 GLI. About eight months ago it started not connecting to CarPlay on my phone wirelessly unless I toggled Bluetooth on the phone. I thought it was my aged and dying iPhone’s fault so I upgraded to a new one - and the problem persists. Anyone else with this issue solved it?

Complete my sentence. I am not a thin guy (5 10 ,200lb)
I am sliding side to side on even slightly fast corners. Anyone has a resolution. Not sure is it bolsters? Is it large seat bottom. Can’t wait for winter added layer would keep me there I guess

I bought a GLI a couple months back and I’ve been hearing some buzzing/rattling noises in the rear view mirror housing and on the left dash/door, which got progressively annoying so I took it in to the dealership. The dealership came back saying they didn’t hear anything… I took one of the front office guys on a drive to demonstrate, and he acknowledged it and passed along the info to the technician. The tech looked at it again, drove it, and again said he didn’t hear anything, then they started saying that my windshield tint would negate warranty on the rear view mirror issue because it would mean it was tampered with by the guy who did the tint. By this time I was pretty pissed because I had to waste two trips to the dealership for the runaround, and the guy kept telling me it wasn’t his decision yada yada… I’d have to wait for the manager when he gets in…. I’m feeling pretty frustrated and just wondering if anyone has dealt with this. It’s so frustrating to have a brand new car with cheap sounding rattles throughout the dash…

I have a 2025 gli and I’m reaching 40,000km on it I just want to know what is good to keep the car going as long as possible everything is stock I do oil changes and regular servicing but is there anything to watch out for or do with a gli I never owned one before

Hi I’ve been dealing with poor fuel economy lately I used to average 37 mpg at 77 mph on my way to work and about 32 on the way back. And now I’m getting 33-35 on my way there and 28 sometimes on the way back I first thought it was a sticky caliper but I checked all the brakes and them seem to wearing evenly and I could spin the rotors on all sides. I am stage 1 low torque tuned by IE and I only run top tier gas. I changed my plugs around 15,000 miles ago so I’m probably gonna go toward inspecting those. I also admit at the time of changing the plugs I had basically just gotten the car from the dealer and they didn’t tell me I was tuned so I didn’t gap them correctly. I put Bosch oem spec plugs. I did also notice an mpg drop after the Bosch plugs went in but eventually attributed that to the wrong gap. I also will inspect the valves for carbon I am currently at 75,000 miles. Any other suggestions on what could be causing this?

Searching for my first GLI, is there any major differences other than looks between the mk7 and the mk7.5? Thanks
