Hi. Whilst washing my 2017 estate GT, on the boot the T came off. It has always read TD (bought the car from a second hand car dealer), my understanding is it should read TDI. Does anyone know the best/ cheapest place to get a new TDI chrome set from? Thanks

Hi. I have updated my favourites/speed dials on my Infotainment system. 1 contact is shown a mobile phone looking type symbol, the other 3 aren't. Does anyone know what the symbol means? Thanks. Image attached

Cabin Blower

Sunny afternoon everyone. I have a B8 GT Estate, the cabin fan on the lower 'notches' seems less powerful than on the B7. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks

Cabin fan blower

Hi.
Has anyone had any problems with their 'blower fan'? I had mine on max today and it didn't seem as powerful as my B7, even changing where the air came into the cabin it didn't make any different. (2017 GT estate)

Driver's door lock

When closing driver's door, the lock sounds like its double locking/trying to lock. Hopefully the link below works, you'll have to turn the sound up.

Mud Flaps

I have a 2017 GT estate, white. Possibly looking at getting mud flaps. Yes or no, has anyone else fitted them and how does it look?

Build/spec codes

I recently bought my B8 estate, 'second hand' . It hasn't come with a handbook which would also have the printed sticker inside of the paint code, build/spec codes etc. Reading on internet, these codes are also apparently under the boot lining/spare wheel area. Has anyone seen theirs in the boot, if...
