I have the 118 TSI and upon acceleration there is a squeal noise coming from the front end. I took it to the dealer and the tech was honest and said he had just read about this problem in the GT TSI that the water pump solenoid which is associated with the supercharger clutch assembly make a squeal for a brief time when accelerating.

The tech bulletin stated there was no known fix from VW but that my warranty would not be affected if there was a problem later on?

Has anyone else had this occur. It is a June 17th Tech bulletin so just a recent problem. Mine is 5000km and 2 months old.

The squeal is driving me nuts as I now consciously listen for it. I first thought it was a brake pad not clearing but it is definitely upon acceleration and the supercharger clutch sounds more like the area,
