Hey Mikinoz! Looooong time no hear mate.

Nothing personal mate, 10 weeks working in Sydney and 5 weeks until the new bub - time is short sadly. Will make time to get along to some Tas events after April!

I think that the stalks failing could be a safety issue?

My car did the same LED thing last week itg. Its gotta be checked out very soon.

Was a hot day when mine went nuts after sitting outside for 8 hrs. Was like it had a spaz attack and whole screen lit up red before going dark and red line through it. Tried turning car off and back on but did nothing until it sat for little while and worked ok since. Have my 30k service in next few months so thought i'd mention so its noted down in case they have had previous issues.

Well. My GTI has gone to the dealers today for a severe missfire issue and dodgy cruise control.
I pulled a couple of codes out of it to inform them of what was going on. Its been there for 1/2 the day and I am missing it sooo much!
Our local dealer has always done the right thing by me and today they have lent me a new V6 4motion Passat with leather and DSG!
So, by not knocking them, they do look after you. Mind you, I have had a good many customers out in my GTI who have gone and bought Mk5s.
The dealer in question? Jacksons VW in Tassie. Thanks fellas

Hmm, gave the dealers the fault codes this morning when I dropped the GTI off. They couldnt get any fault codes from the ECU so they dont know what to look for with the miss..... hmmm Could look bad at Baskerville this weekend.
replaced the cruise switch though.

i have a few issues but the dealer has generally been getting to them.

i had a rear wheel bearing replaced

a heat sheild apparentlly missing a bolt causing a vibration,

a rear door handle not work, like i cant open the door

and my odometer screen lcd thingo often only displays a blank line

a few other things... but the rear door not working has been the worst.

but all fixable and worth it :-p

Although not VW related,but dodgy dealer related. I have heard a story from someone in the know that a local Canberra dealer in locally made cars, once put a screw driver through the radiator and told the customer they had to pay for a new radiator as road damage was not covered by the warranty.
I am suprised in regard to the warranty issues that new VW owners are having.

Hmmm... all those warranty problems seem to be happening on Sith Efriken builds, correct me if I am wrong...
