I finally bit the bullet and got a new car- 2012 GTI 6spd manual, base. I've wanted one for about two years and the time was right- local dealer had exactly the car I wanted in stock! I'm absolutely LOVING it so far. Does anyone have any specific recommendations for rear seat covers (for the dog) or front/rear passenger partitions?

Well, I just returned from my first drive in the GTI with my dog, and it didn't go especially well. The seat protector worked well, but I really need a dog barrier to separate the front and back seats. Does anyone have any advice/experience? The dog is an 80 lb boxer/lab mix, and he's very determined to be in the driver's seat the instant my fat rear end is off of it.

smax posted:Back seats up or down? Thanks for the advice- for most dogs, that sounds like it would be perfect. My dog, unfortunately, has gone through interior doors/drywall due to separation anxiety, so I don't think the cargo cover would stand much of a chance. He's actually doing much better than when I first got him. However, I did pick up a harness (http://www.amazon.com/Solvit-62296-Vehicle-Safety-Harness/dp/B000MD3NOK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1331773400&sr=8-1). When it's attached to the shoulder belt, he can still get in the front- but he can't when it's attached to the lap belt! Hopefully he won't chew through it.

I'm assuming your dome light either doesn't come on or stays on when the doors are closed? Experienced exactly these symptoms yesterday when the trunk lock failed on the hatchback of my 2012 GTI. Dealer couldn't get the parts here until Tuesday, so they scavenged the needed parts off another new car on the lot.

My 2012 GTI (base model, manual transmission) is making a knocking sound from the right rear (I think). The dealer has had it in several times and removed/inspected the right rear suspension and can't reproduce it or find the cause. It seems to happen only when cold, and the car has to be moving for it to start. Once it starts, it will do it intermittently for several minutes (until it warms up), but is especially prominent upon stopping (could just be a reduction in road noise, I realize). The noise is not speed dependent and I feel no vibrations in the steering wheel or otherwise. My warranty is going to be up in a few months, so I'd really like to get this fixed. Any ideas? Something in the fuel delivery system, perhaps?
