The "I've had no issues" thread

MY11.5 90TSI

I've had no engine issues
I've had no gearbox issues
I've had no other drivetrain issues
I've had no exterior issues
I've had no issues that were not caused by an idiot dealer mechanic.
I don't have bluetooth

I'm getting excellent fuel economy
I'm driving a German engineered car that very much feels up market, without having paid a premium price.

To sum it up:
The car is great, absolutely love it. Even though I don't have a sports model like the GTI or R, every time I go for a drive it genuinely brings a smile to my face.. Can't explain why.. Maybe has to do with the fact that my last car was pretty s*** (Honda. lol. Never again..)

For what I need a car for, the Golf has delivered in every way, plus more.

ditto on all above, mine has 27000+ks on it now in 8 months

Yeah, all happy here after 2 years with a 118 TSI manual with sports pack .

Another one here.

Only issues have been people opening their doors at supermarkets into the side of my car

No mechanical issues in my Golf R, but ive had a few niggling (annoying) issues:

1) Tweeter in rear door was crackling from day 1. Noticed it within a few minutes from leaving the dealership. Replaced by dealer at 1,000km check. Ok since then.
2) Alarm going off on its own / randomly. Several visits to the dealership to get this fixed. Seems to be ok now.
3) Sunroof rattling when tilted open. Looked at under warranty. Sound is less noticeable now but still there.
4) Wrong headlight switch fitted to my car (no chrome part on it).

I will have a bitch about how utterly useless Kloster VW is though. They were fine during the purchasing portion of the deal - but totally useless after sale. I keep my car immaculate, and each time its gone in for the above listed warranty fixes it comes back full of greasy handprints / muck on the floormats etc. Also, having to book the car in 2-3 weeks in advance just for a warranty job is ridiculous.

Its 1st service is due early April, and no letter / phone call etc from VW with details on making a booking.

They've only just released a new bluetooth module a couple of months ago that supports skipping tracks via the MFSW and shows music tags on the HU + MDI:

Would be a simple upgrade if the feature is worth the price. Post any replies in that thread. ^

actually is there a way to make the reception better on the radio with the rear window aerial?
