A VW franchised dealer who can't fix a VW. I don't understand this (or accept it). There can't be such a thing as a 'dud' car, surely. It's just parts - find the parts that don't work replace them with ones that do. It's a car, not a space shuttle - they should be able to fix it.

Another thing I've noticed is the number of GTI owners over the last six months that have had faults. Considering the ones sold to people on this forum must be only a small percentage of the total sold in the UK, there have been quite a few problems. Or am I imagining things?
