AWESOME!!! Just picked up the GTI after its 15K kms service. Clip fitted under warranty as per TPI. Hugh difference, most notably how smooth the power comes on and it has lost shuddering under acceleration also. Oh yeah, there is no noise now but I have Prodigy/Chemical Brothers/Pendulum loud enough anyway.Originally Posted by Mi16 Man
Phew....my clip is 'reserved' for my upcoming 1yr/15Kkms service on Oct 4.....
Love my 'dealer'!
BIG thanks to Rick Everett, Paul McEwan at Gerald Slaven VW in Belconnen for getting this sorted.

i can't read through 90 pages , so I'm goinnan be lazy and ask here.
it seems like the rattles has been spotted and it was a waste gate clip.
now, was that the rattle that people thought it was the door or realignment of the driver door?
are we talking about the same problem?

No. Look at the MK6 forum index thread for a link to the door/bpillar rattles/noises thread.

New ETA from my dealer is that the clips should arrive in one week. I want my dang clip.

I just sent in my car mentioning the TPI number to them when booking in the car for the fix. They looked up that number and ordered the clips in. They told me it should take about 10 working days for the clips to come and will contact me to bring in my car again to get them fitted in. I had to tell a little lie saying that VW Australia told me to reference the TPI number when booking in my car when in actual fact they didn't. At the end of the day it got the ball rolling and that's what we want anyways.

can some tell me what variant of the EA888 engine the Mk6 GTi has? CCTA, CBFA, CCZA, or CAWB?
its normally shown on the build plate, or in the boot with the option codes sticker.
