    Took my Pog to the stealer for warranty repairs

    - AC blowing hot air only
    - Gearbox crunching into 2nd, 3rd and Reverse (Gearbox recall?)
    - ESP light intermittantly staying on
    - Passenger door loud creaking when opening/closing
    - Radio reception low
    - Using water
    - Side skirt starting to come off (drivers side only)

    They're telling me a minimum of 2 days without my car and didn't even offer me a loaner ()

    Apart from the gearbox has anyone had these sorts of issues? If so how long did it take to get your car back?
    Cheers,

    John

    Mine uses a bit of coolant and it requires a top up once a year, and I think some other people have mentioned it on here as well so I don't know if it's a warranty issue??

    I've been told by the dealer, Gearbox is a very common issue. the syncro.

    I've never been told, no courtesy car for you (one time, they gave me a 2L TSI Jetta with DSG). hopefully they will fixed the issues..

    Mine had never used coolant (owned it since September) until the scorcher we had over the long weekend. The level dropped to about 1/2 and inch below the minimum. I topped it up and now 2 weeks later it's down below the minimum again. Will let you know what they say.

    Yeah I was pissed. They straight out told me that it would be a minimum of 2 days but then didn't even offer me a car to get around. The only thing they offered was a lift in their coutesy coach to work.

    Hmmm that is rapid water usage... Is the coolant milky or does it have bubbles in it??? If so, might be a headgasket??? Else, it could be a radiator core leak like one of the other members had.

    Na the coolant looks fine, no bubbles of milkyness. Could possibly be a radiator leak but the strange thing is that it comes and goes. I checked the car yesterday morning and then checked it again this morning and the level hadn't moved. Hopefully they find the cause whilst they have it.

    I had my water levels dropping all the time took it back and they replaced the radiator
