Title: just for something different..
Post by: tenrohle on 08 March 2014, 19:05

To contradict 90% of the threads in this sub forum I'd like to say that my 44,000 mile 2010 Golf Gti 5 door DSG :

- isn't broken in any way
- goes like the clappers
- puts a smile on my dial every time I slip it into 'S' and plant my foot
- looks very nice, even more so with some new LED tails
- gets a surprisingly good mpg seeing I drive like a loon (sometimes)
- is the best little car I've owned to date and I don't think I'll ever own a manual again as the DSG is incredible

I love it and I'm glad I bought it!

Mines also a March 2010 GTI manual and have read the horror stories about the dreaded timing chain issue.
I'm @ 40k and have to admit the car runs very sweet with no knocking.

I contacted the original VW garage who serviced it up to 29k and a close mate who also works for vw/audi group and both assured me its not a common issue.  Having said that service booked in with http://www.lincoln-vw.co.uk/ and will mention it to them for peace of mind.

Don't listen to them when they say its not a common fault, just look how many on this forum have suffered with it, I'm one of them!  :shocked:

Some dealers say they have never heard of it while some are very aware of it and now all about it
