    Does anyone know the changes from MY20 to MY21?

    I notice my service provider charges $19.20 + GST for the brake fluid but it’s hard to calculate the labour cost of changing it as the labour is included in the overall labour cost

    You’re right there Brad. I’d love to get a set of 16” off a wrecked Urban + to replace the 15” on my 81TSI. The size looks so right & the 215/45 tyres a real improvement on the 185/60

    The 75k service on my 81TSI manual at my trusted independent was $246 & would think GTI would be similar with a bit more oil. That standard service is oil/filter only.

    My Aug 2015 build 81TSI manual does the same - almost diesel like and only around 700-800rev idle - neither our 2013 90TSI & now 92TSI Golfs do it - otherwise the Polo engine is the sweeter. It has...
