Title: Somethings I have noticed...
Post by: ajmoir36 on 13 June 2010, 21:34
1. In the dark the radio doesnt dim with the dimming wheel, really annoying, the old RCD500 in my mk5 did.

2. Around the temperature guage there seems to be a red ring around the outside, yet around the fuel guage its seems that its weak or none existant.

3. I have used 1mm of tyre tread on the front in 3000 miles in 7 weeks. (Bridgestone Potenza RE050A XL)

4. The GTD hasn't used any oil in 3000 miles (I have been checking), obviously I run it in correctly (yer right).

5. I have some stone chips, two on bonnet and one on bumper albeit they are very small.

6.  I actually think the standard head lights are quite good.

7. The arm rest doesnt have that a nice feel on a naked arm.

8. My nuckles hit the dash when changing gear.

9. I have seen the rear washer leak, but it is very rare.

10.  I have now realised that VW have removed that extra swipe from the wipers at the end front and back.

11. I think I have felt the XDS working when accelerating round a corner no flashing lights.

12. The TPMS has not gone off yet (touches wood).

13.  A Red mk6 Golf GTI followed me up the Stow on the Wold hill at full throttle, keeping up although didn't pass when I pulled in.

14. This forum does some weird stuff with the posting box when there are too many lines, can't someone fix it.

15. Dirt gets trapped in the trench between the window and the window rubber on the doors.

Response:
(1) Got my first bonnet stone chip today. Big enough to peeve me off. Touched up but not brilliantly. :sick:
(2) Armrest is comfortable as you can choose the hight and extension. However, mine clunks :angry:.
(3) Knuckles hit the dash at first, but not anymore as I have learnt to change gear differently. :smiley:
(4) Wierd things when posting but this is because of windows I am told. :rolleyes:

How is the baggy gearbox?

Gearbox is no difference at the moment, letter no.2 has been written and will be sent to VW shortly.

Yes that appears to be a common fault on the MK6.


12. The TPMS has not gone off yet (touches wood).

Did you order TPMS with yours or do you mean the flat tyre indicator? TPMS wasn't on additional option when I ordered mine.  :wink:

What ever tyre pressure monitor system / flat tyre indicator that you can normally order, some have had it go off randomly.
