Are wheel spacers a bad idea?

I like the flush look, but not if they're going to impact performance or safety.

Or warranty.

The 2.5 golf is a regular torque converter automatic iirc. That being said, I am not a fan of how VW programs their transmissions - even the brand new cars I drove were a little funky. It's probably fine... Transverse VW automatics usually wait until about 100k to fail (also they may have fixed their issues by now... I haven't researched)

Mine's excellent.

Does anyone here use K&N "high performance" drop-in air filters? Is it really worth the bunch of money?

Plugged my 2015 GTI VIN into https://www.vw.com/owners-recalls/ just to check and I got:

quote:

We could not find recall/service campaign information about this vehicle because:

This vehicle does not have an open recall/service campaign;
A recall/service campaign was issued more than 15 years ago; OR
There was an internal server error.

Well that's not very loving helpful then, is it?

I'm starting to regret buying this car even though I love it so very, very much. But all this bad VW news is making me nervous.
