TSI squeal noise problem on acceleration

[sillygogo]

waaaa, what did you got for the replacement?

Have you traded in your golf? How much value left?

I solved all of my issues by buying a new car from a different manufacturer. So glad that my Golf will be out of my life in a matter of days.

Soon to be ex owner of Golf 118TSI DSG Sports pack.

Sadly, I've only had the car for 4 months and its been a complete disaster. This was my third new Golf. Prior to this I had two Gen 5s.

I've only done 3200kms in it. Luckily, I got a good trade in value which meant the jump to a $40 000 car wasn't too bad. I thought it best to bail now while it was worth a decent amount of money.

I've gone for a Japanese Zoom Zoom car this time.

My dealership called me this morning regarding the new vehicle experiences etc. I asked him about this squeal noise, he said that what he got from VW was normal noise and we don't actually need to worry about it (same as a lot people got from their dealer). However, he mentioned that VW is working on it and trying to replace some new parts between supercharger and water pump. He also mentioned that some vehicles do not have such noise and some do. But I think the noise will come to mine in one day.......

So, apparently what we need to do is waiting for the solution from VW. They have to come out some fix, otherwise no one will buy 118TSI in the future anymore.

After 2 months 3000 km squealing noise is back,
Next week I am going back to VW dealer.

One dealer replaced w/pump after 4000 km because of noise… noise was back after 2 weeks
Other dealer cleaned and lubricated something and it was OK for 2 months and 3000 km… Next week I am going back to second dealer
I am not sure what was lubricated (I am not technical person and after reading some comments – I am concern) especially when I saw somebody indicated that VW is advising against lubrication - warranty issue.
If anybody is having information what should not be lubricated according to VW, can You please, give me more details...I need them before going back to VW dealership next week

Thank You

VW have informed the dealers not to lubricate the supercharger/waterpump clutch for fear of what it may do to the friction lining of the clutch

I am going to ask them just to clean it (if some of lubricant is left) and definitely not to lubricate it.

I just don't know what to do my car

Mirsad I know what you mean. I saw no option other than to sell my car. I took a financial hit but it was worth it. VW wouldn't help and there's no way I would ever give them another cent of my money.

I couldn't put up with the inconvenience any longer, nor could I take a risk with the brakes on my car. To this day VW has refused to put in writing that the brakes are safe. Doesn't fill me with confidence. I'm also pretty certain that the DSG is failing again too. The back doors leak water too and this is a result of them removing the doors. Complete disaster.

I wish you all the best with your car and I hope that you have a happy outcome.

I feel your pain guys, they just don't make them like my car anymore.

From looking at German forums a fix may not be far away, a modified supercharger clutch assembly

No noises apparent on my 08 GT Sport, though of course I had my very own wiring harness issue with my s/charger...
