I had similar but ended up being the air bag harness in the pillar. Repacked with foam by the dealer, all sweet.

During a the scheduled 30,000 km's service I was advised that they had found some oil leaks on side of the engine. Was advised it was nit major and as I was going away on a trip that weekend should be ok to take it.

Took car back a week later for further inspection and was told that leak was from Turbo?? Turbo replaced under warranty. However after replacement I now has a whining sound at low rev's 1000-1500 rpm (i.e in traffic etc.)

Car goes back for more inspections and was told some alignments done, problem still remains. Car goes back again and a guy from VGA come out to inspect it.

I am told that the noise is within specifications, however if i wish they will replace the turbo again on the condition that if the noise is still there better or worse no more work will be done on it ..

I am now due back in about 10,000 kms for it's 60,000 km service. The noise is still there and I have some decisions to make :-/ Car also seems to have lost some of it's top end power.

I have had two rattles repaired one on the drivers door and one on the passenger front door.

I now have one coming from somewhere near the steering column, I suspect one of the air con vents ??

Also my DSG seems to have an issue whereby every now and again it makes a clunking sound on take off from a stand still.. almost like it misses the gear and then drops in again.

Have to say, if these are the worst problems, I can't wait to buy my V Jetta. I've had Magnas since 1996 and a trouble free run - hoping for the same with VW.

MY07 Jetta TDI
EGR valve replaced at around 45,000 on a BKD engine under warrant (apparently it tore, I never noticed. Dealer identified by oil leak at service).

Drivers door lock module replaced at 65,000 under warranty as it wasn't unlocking the door anymore (but the key still worked).

Otherwise flawless.
