-5000 mile maintenance (with synthetic oil)
-MMI software upgrade (hopefully)
-Sunroof tilt switch doesn't work
-Odometer reads 2-3mph high

Most of us have that issue I believe. Unless your VIN is pretty low, there wont be an upgrade on the MMI.

I'll be taking mine car in for it's 5K service fairly soon and I'm curious as if this error can be corrected. When are you scheduled to get your car back? I'm also going to try to get my fuel gauge adjusted to indicate full after a fill.

Sucks about the Jetta. My dealer just got rid of Jetta loaners and upgraded to A6 3.0's. That was a nice surprise.

speedo says 85MPH. I happened to check this W/E on a short road trip to Carrolton, GA when my wife was getting on my ass for speeding.

I assume moving the passenger seat forward so she can't see the speedo isn't an option ;-)

First time the 2 dogs were allowed in Greyboy. They slept all the way back...they road over with daughter in her SUV and back with us.

Still no speedo word but I measure it two ways:

1) Speed warning at 80, needle at 83.

2) Those police radar trailers to tell you your speed. When it says 25, my speedo says 27.

This jetta BLOWS!

You are entitled to ALL of the pieces with a # like 13! If there is an update, they just plug in to the internet site and download it.
