4 Weeks old GTi wz Engine Problem..............

[pc747]

Where to start......... I Traded in my old Golf MK3 for a MK6 GTi 12.5 last month, picked up my brand New GTi 4 weeks ago very excited, after 'run in' (old school keeping it under 100km and under 4000rpm) till 500kms on the clock took it for a drive to the Hunter valley (SYD), guess what, problem start to come out:
1, Rattling Noise coming (sounded like) from the exhaust / engine just b4 every gear change!
2, Ratting noise coming from real RHS back panel.
3, this is the worse, losing power on every gear.... when I put me foot down on the peddle (Normal city driving only) between 1900rpm-3000rpm feels like the car is straggling to put power to the engine, almost like seeing/feeling the rpm needle rattling... both going from gear 1-6 or even when change from a higher gear to low gear then accelerate!

Took it back to my dealer service department, they had the car for a whole day (6hours) then said problem 1 was due to the waste gate (known common VW engine issue) issue and fitted wz a bracket to stop the noise. said nothing regarding problem 2 then with problem 3 they blame on the Fuel, saying the fuel I put in might be bad (Hello, only second n Third tank of SHELL 98 fuel) they said try BP 98 that's what they use! I can't believe this! so I did tried a tank of BP 98, after 300kms No improvement and getting more n more noticeable wz the power lost!

So from the forum I got to know Sam from VW Sutherland, chatted on the phone sound really helpful just like the other members said, ask me to bring it in and let him have a look at the car. which I did couple of days ago, he took it for a test drive not only he can feel the problem but he also found that when he changes gear on manual mode from 1 to 2 and 2 to 3 that the clutch slip (feel like a click specially on hill start) Sam said it might be the "Megatronic" or the clutch need replacing...Sam offer me to either take it back to Artamon VW or He can look after it too, I choose Sam cos he is genuinely a nice guy know what he is doing and helpful. Booked in for next week, hope it will be fix back like a new car!

OMG my GTi is only 4 weeks old wz 1300kms on the clock already there is so many problem....
Try talking to the dealer to see if I can swap another one given the car is so New, the answer is No!!!
Anyone had similar problem on theirs, pls share and any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
