Well after contacting the dealer in Nottingham, from where i bought my GTI, about a software update, and a replacement engine cover--- not very interested, didnt bother getting back to me. Decided to ditch them with their non interest attitude
Contacted VW Mansfield, couldnt be more helpful. Engine cover ordered, arrived the next day, car booked in, as i also had the creaking, grinding noise which sounded as though it was coming from the drivers door area.
Collected to day, software update to 1941, engine cover fitted, grinding noise sorted--apparently it was a bellows which needed greasing, complementary health check, everything sorted!
Will be using Mansfield in future, nothing too much trouble, Nottingham lost my business for future purchases.
Excellent service VW Mansfield , thankyou
