They've said that the rattling door cards from the sound pack plus are also a characteristic!!!!!

And the rear wiper that works on its own is a known issue along with the headlights that come on during a really sunny day and don't come on when it's real foggy!

At least they drive really well :wink:

You have been offered solutions now take one and quit MOANING - last time I checked this was forum for chat about the cars we love NOT a moanathon.

Fog is NOT night time and so what if they stay on - stop being lazzzzzy and turn them off!

Great attitude Mr 7 posts of real substance!?!? i think i'd better quote you on each reply as you seem tp like to edit your posts! I know of another like that, it becomes very dull!

If you'd like to carry on your insults then please pass me your mobile number so you can have a face-to-face.

I hope you're just a kid! You're clearly not all that with communicating on public forums!!! When you mention in one of your seven posts that you work for VW i'm not surprised. with a lovely attitude like you have you're more than likely in customer service! Either that or some wannabe apprentice mechanic bored of oil changes..... still you make a stronger and stronger case for being a troll for another member, i'll get your addresses checked over.... But i think i'm right tough man......

If you actually owned a Golf Mk5 you may be aware of the issues that the car has, it's not a solid piece of grantite, the MK4 IMHO was built better but wasn't all that to drive.....

i hope you enjoy your life, and maybe you should check out lax power or the tweenies..... :kiss:

But that's an appropriate reply.Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â

Bottom line is: VW must produce nothing less than perfection, or we may be forced to consider SEAT, Skoda, or, if pushed the other way, Audi.

Please put away your handbags------ IMMEDIATELY :grin:

I presume these engines have them?
