Creaks

Good news. My creaks have gone.

The VW dealer I bought it from have done a good job in making it quiet.

On the plus side, when it creaked I just had to drive it with the roof down to avoid the terrible noise.

Just spoke the nice man from GBR regarding the purchase of Krytox so that the next time I can do the job myself.

I guess the regular application of seal lube on the Eos is comparable to having to adjust the chain on my KTM motorcycle. Messy but necessary and often has to be done between services.

Hey Ho

Creeks!

Yep!
Creeks!
Took my 2008 in with 6700 miles on it for 12 month service because the car said service now! It had its oil changed at 1000 miles, 3000 miles, and now at 6700. I asked the dealer why so often. The dealer told me they recommended more service than the car manual, warrantee requires. I made it clear to reset my computer to be requesting service as the warrantee suggests, and not have to come back and spend $$$ so often.
Synthetic has been put in at every change. I can say the car burns no oil like others I have seen on this site.
Well, the roof was creeking and asked them to lube the seals and the dealer said they would under warrantee. Well, never happened. Instead the dealer took the roof apart and tightened bolts and removed a shim. I was having a sh_t fit! I never told them to take it apart and never authorized them to do so! It still creeks, and if it leaks, I am going to be real pis_ed!
I was nice at the dealer and took it in stride, but now am thinking of taking it to another dealer in the state for service.
Thanks,

Yesterday I had to take my Eos to service the top. When dropping the top, the headliner that folds out of the way was getting hung up and stopping the process (needed the strings that fold it out of the way, adjusted). While I was there the service advisor handed me a package from VW that contained a three step system for maintaining the seals for the top. Three small packages that each contain a cloth similar to a moist towelette you use to wipe your hands. Step 1 is to clean the seals, step 2 is to condition the seals and step 3 is the krytox to lubricate the seals. Instructions are in eight languages. The service advisor didn't say if these packages were going to be a "give away" or if they were going to be available at the parts counter. The package says to apply once a year, tells where to find service instructions in the manual so you know which seals to lubricate and also explains the application process.
While there, they installed a new "low pressure fuel sensor", which I have had much problem with. They also had another "service bulletin" to replace a cover on the engine, but I left before the paper work was done, so I can't tell you just what that was, the paper work is being mailed to me and I will tell you when I get it.
I also had them check my tail lights because dust was getting in to the housing. They found that both tail light housing were cracked in the same place allowing dust to get inside the light. These are LED lights and the entire housing has to be replaced. They didn't have any in stock, so that will done later, under warranty.
