TSI squeal noise problem on acceleration

[thamwk]

actually, my new Golf 118TSI just developed this squeak. developed it when I drove up and back from Canberra over the weekend and the car has only done 1,500km. no big issue, and will wait for VW to release the fix for this.

meanwhile, am enjoying the car

My car seems to have developed this chirp @ 2740km. Its quite audible even when inside the car and all windows closed.

Seems like a case of WHEN not IF and yours appears pretty close to the money.
"The noise usually occurs only after a mileage of 3000 kilometers or more."
As I am around the 2,000k mark will keep my ears open with a view to getting the issue noted for future warranty repair WHEN/IF it appears on mine.

nice find soogs! though not sure how long before this fix propagates to Australia...

Thanks for that soogs!

It says week45 builds get new waterpump.

How do i find out what week my car is built?

[thamwk]

If I have read correctly, this is week 45 of 2009 and if this is the case, then you should be covered because we are only currently in week 40 of 2009

I reckon they probably mean week 45 of 2008....

I wonder how many waterpumps and superchargers they'll have to replace worldwide....??

must be big numbers....

[Umai Naa!!]

FYI, whatever fix VW comes up with usually takes AT LEAST 2 months to filter through to Australia. Please be patient and remain positive that VW will come up with a solution to the problem. We've only had two cars do it, and both customers have accepted the fact that there isn't a fix for the problem right now, and will be called in as soon as we have something.

Besides, I think they have enough on their plate right now with the Touareg rear spoiler mount issues...

..I wonder how many waterpumps and superchargers they'll have to replace worldwide....??

What makes you say the superchargers will need replacing? Is it not just the magnetic clutch on the the waterpump that is the culprit? The Superchargers should be fine or am I missing something?

my squeak is more prominent now showing up everytime i drive. not that it's driving me up the wall
