Agree 100% with floody. Also give the forum a heads up so no one buys this lemon...

The again he did alot of Kms (46K km + ) in a "faulty" car. They are hardly likely to replace the vehicle at that age/kms.

Finally got my car back from agents, my joy lasted one day, then same problem again. I've had my car 3 days in the last month.

Since new it has had a fault - EPC & ESP light comes on, engine kills power. Usually happens when I overtake changing from 4th - 5th gear. A bit dangerous, seeing as the GTi is made for overtaking.

VW agents have no clue what to do, they have replaced pedal assembly, throttle control, both cam sensors and checked the wiring.

Been going on for 1year already, problem comes up at leats once a month, I've had enough.

Negotiated a deal for a new GTi, hopefully take delivery on Monday

Well he does say it's been going on for a year.

How long after buying it did the problems start?

If you don't mind me asking, have you at least spoken to a lawyer about your situation?

Problem started at about 10 000km mark. Car is siting on 48000 now, quite a bit of km's, got it new in April 2007.

The dealership & VW insists that they can trace and fix fault, Maybe 9th time lucky!!!. Problem usually occurs when I am overtaking, kinda dangerous so I've reached the point where I've got no faith in them at all, just want a reliable, safe car now .

Have consulted a lawyer, by the time anything happens it is 6 months down the line. I was looking at replacing the car due to high mileage by Feb next year, so I just need to shift plans forward.

****ty situation, but at least I get a new GTi.

From everything I've heard & seen God himself would find it hard to get a replacement new car from a dealer/manufacturer no matter how many problems that car has had.
