The official I have ordered/received my new MKVI thread

**Candyman** · 13-09-2011, 06:13 PM

Picked it up today

Very happy and better than I expected

All a little overwhelming. A few things to ask the Dealer about but all minor

Revs highish at idle (1200), chewed through fuel on the way home, very very slight pull to the left (could just be the road camber)

Bloody amazing though. DSG is incredibly smooth compared to our GTI and surprisingly much better in D mode than the GTI and not as nutcase in S

Looking forward to detailing it and getting tint done.

Big congrats Candyman.. glad the wait is now over.. yeah I still love the DSG even though it has its quirks..1200 is usally what it idles at when you first turn it on and it is warming then it drops as soon as you put it into gear.. odd.

Don't let the D mode fool ya, once you get used to it or vice versa you will see what the real issue is.. it is not extreme just sometimes annoying

Thanks SF - you and others kept me sane on my relatively short wait.

The DSG is definitely far better than our GTI was in all respects.

Went up the driveway no problems !

Such a solid feeling car compared to our GTI. Night and day.

Cheers

congrats candyman...............what a relief i bet, getting those keys and driving off !!
got my tints done on the weekend by "Mr Cool", he's done a few cars for me and have always been happy........went a few shades darker than legal..........looks great on the CW paintwork !
Two problems so far, one is keeping k's down..........1246 k's in 5 days......but every single one of them memorable.
The other is i have that rattling swooshing sound when accelerating between 2000-3000 revs............dealer said they'd check it out at 1500k free service booked for the 24th of this month.......other than that, all great !!!

**Candyman** · 13-09-2011, 09:03 PM

Thanks mate, very happy.

Waiting on a call back from Rob. Probably next week for the tint.

I've got a turbo whistle on throttle but sounds normal. early days

That's quite possibly the wastegate actuator rod rattle issue which has a solution now. The dealer may not have the part in stock though....
