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

Or foot off the pedal...................................................................I'll get my coat

Hmm, doesnt seem to come from the steering column, its like the noise comes from the front wheels when they are turned all the way to the left or right.

whistling from drivers side window (sometimes)

folding mirrors sometimes don't work (but to be fair this hasn't happened for a few months)

f7cking loads of stone chips, in particular two massive ones on passenger front side of the car (paint is sh1te, not a patch on the mk5 gti)

the odd rattle every now and then but i've put that down to my brain rolling around in my head while at speed

I am now too scared to drive Wolfgang on his natural habitat (tarmac roads). They really are a shocking mess. However, the soft paint on the VWs is a double curse to deal with.

Now, regarding your brain. I hope you are not serious about the rolling action!

I've previously posted a thread about whistling from driver's side window and still trying to have this sorted.

I am also experiencing loud creaking when turning steering wheel hard right or left.

Minor glitches but for a $52,000 (AUD) car...

I will keep you all posted as I harrass my dealer some more.  I think it's important to talk to others about this as it is a new model  and there may be build quality issues that VW can be made aware of... strength in numbers and all that!

the front passenger seat sometimes has a very tiny rattle coming from under the seat i can only presume (or in the seat somewhere). notice it when accelerating and or bass from the music. it is the seat, as when i hit the end of the seat, you get that slight rattling noise. think i can put up with it!

i also get the odd drip of water after i have closed the door and just started driving and its been raining previously! only 1 drip though.

can someone explain white worm to the alloys? i noticed behind the discs area that the silver part was a little bit bronze looking (not sure if this is rust, and its not on the actual alloy itself) ... didnt think it was a problem, but it has made me think!

cheers

Front passenger side wheel arch - access plate to fog lights came off somewhere - replaced under warranty

Becuase it's all little stuff and nothing major. It's a mass produced car made on a tight budget with profit margins the main aim. If you want a perfectly built car save up and buy yourself a Rolls.
