Only problem I have so far is the famous wastegate rattle when accelerating briskly in the 2300-3000 rpm range.

The only problem I have so far is Paint issues's and picking up stone chips !! But everthing else is sweet :wink:

Just to say though this is a major one to sort out?? The paintwork is just to soft, and its just picking stone chips like there is no tommrow.  :sick:

I am fully expecting the MK6 to inherit most / all the problems the MK5 had.

That is a very strange remark don't yo think..... :huh:

I myself have discovered already a small list of improvements over the MK V after a couple of weeks driving.....must be my optimistic half.... :laugh:

A couple of minor creaks from the rear (a la Kev's). Otherwise, spot on.

Front passenger side wheel arch - access plate to fog lights missing - replaced under warranty

Rear driver side alloy - possible white worm - alloy being replaced under warranty

Passenger seat - persistant squeak/rubbing noise from base of seat. Car's already been back and had the lumber mechanism changed but hasn't fixed it - going back in this weekend.

RCD310 - track details sticking, sometimes skips first few secs of track

Central locking - occasional rubbing noise from drivers side door when locking.

Nothing much - main issue is the seat which is really irritating but hopefully that'll get fixed this weekend.

Where's P3eeps? He had a MKV?   :laugh:

Other than my passenger door 'deadlocking' and being stuck locked for 2 weeks the day after I picked it up  :shocked: I had no problems with my MK5 at all!

My MK6 has a couple of minor problems...
Rev counter dial has a patch of scratches on it.
Bonnet is slightly unaligned at one side.
Drivers door wind noise when driving fast - seemed to be dripping water on me this morning too!
'Ticking' noise coming from the drivers rear quarter area?  Seems to have stopped though.
No code supplied for my RCD510.  I need it so I can eBay it!

All have been noted by the dealer within the first 2 days of ownership.  I'm going up at the weekend to show them and make arrangements for getting them sorted.  I could have had it done last week - but I want to drive it  :evil:

A silly little rattle around the drivers window, it seems to be level with my ear and is damn irritating!  I turn the stereo up and that covers over the noise from the rattling, not sure if the window is loose or what :huh:

Having owned  Golf's from Mk 1 to Mk 5.  I have found that build quality is cyclical.

My current view is:  Volkswagen over-engineered the MK5, spent a lot of money to get the GTi back to the top, and now they are relaxing the grip.  The Mk 6 was introduced to reduce production costs and consequently the reputation for rattles etc may be coming back.  This is not to say the car is poor, because inevitably technology is advancing all the time and brings benefits, but perhaps not quite as good as it has been.

Obviously the recent Toyota debacle has highlighted what can happen when a car company takes its eye off the ball.
