about 6000kms

Just reporting that my GTI is suffering from the same issues as the 118 with a small squeak sound coming out of the engine on a firm press of the accelerator.

Only just appeared after 6000 km and dealer said it was a known issue but no fix has been released.

How are you other GTI owners going so far?

So far I think there are only 3 so it's a rather small sample pool... Others of us are still waiting

Wasn't the 118TSI issues sorted out ? I eagerly await to hear if the Polo GTI suffers from the same sound.

Nope, the thread in the MkVI Golf forum is still going with some cars that have had multiple water pump replacements still squealing. If they can't sort it for the Golf, there's no reason to expect that it won't develop in the Polo, either.

This isn't the best news considering i have one on order How widespread and common is this problem ? I would be keen to hear if any GTI drivers here have had it and at home many km's on the odometer

5,500km on mine and no issues so far...

Hey Dav,

Same kms as yours has now travelled...6000kms
Is this the noise you are experiencing? I sure hope not as this issue has been ongoing for a long time now, check out car advice, search VW golf first steer and read the many posts that start out.....along the lines of I got my Golf TSI 118 today and am loving it (as should be the case), then this changes to this chirp squeal is driving me nuts.....along those lines and that was back in '09.

As of Saturday, I also have a Polo GTi on order, ETA hopefully first quarter next year.

1000 k, a bit of a vibration/rattle at the base of the windscreen on acceleration - pretty subtle actually. But no squealing.

Yup the sound in that Youtube clip is the same high pitch chirp I am getting :/

Strangely others have had the chirp disappear after putting on a more Km's... but then it comes back too lol. Maybe it is seasonal :0
