Does Australia even have traffic alerts?

Has anyone experienced a sort of cracking/clicking noise when reversing or rolling backwards in their GTI? Sounds like it's coming from the front of the car and happens intermittently. Mine is the MY15 model. Been doing it for a few month now, it's due for its first service soon, i will have to ask them about it...any ideas or suggestions?

Its not the Hill Start assist is it?

I don't think so. It happens when the car is on the flat

If it is a one of 'crack' when reversing, am thinking it's the brake pads moving around in the calipers.

Possibly but i don't see how the brakes would have anything to do with it as i am not using them when it happens, and it only happens when i roll or reverse backwards, never forwards. Anyway, i will ask them when i get it serviced i guess

Well Hill Start assist is there to stop you going backwards so perhaps the noise is that coupled with what Mi16 Man said re the pads/calipers.

My old gen 3 Subaru Libertys both made that noise - was the hill start assist system. Never caused a problem.

Hi Guys,

Was at Barloworld Mascot yesterday haggling for a bargain and I got quoted 31500 for a MY15 with lux pack with a trade in, does that sound about right to everyone?

Not that great of a deal at all, considering the standard (free) $2,500 upgrade with the adaptive suspension in the MY16. Tell them to try harder, especially seeing as dealer delivery should be no more than $600 (mechanic tops up the fluids, car wash, put the plates on, slap a few stickers of the dealership and the admin fee for the secretary to call you saying your car is ready for pickup).
