As the titled suggests my exhaust warning light came on today, and when revving the car you get a kind of popping noise from the exhaust when you let off the accelerator. So anyway I rang my local dealership as the GTI book says to drive slowly to the nearest dealership and get the engine checked. The lady on the phone said not to drive it to the dealership and to ring the VW assistance people, as I have only owned the car for 3 weeks after buying it from a VW dealership and I have the road side assistance. So I ring them and the RAC came out, the guy plugs in his RAC Scan computer and it pops up this code “P0010 Camshaft Position Activator Circuit Bank 1†He says it’s not much to worry about and deletes the code. He suggests taking the GTI to the dealership as peace of mind as I have a years warranty so any repairs should be free. It’s a 05 reg and has done 48 thousand miles so the cam shaft hasn’t been replaced yet.
I just wanted to see if anyone on here had any idea what I should expect the dealership to do and if I should tell them to replace certain parts?
Thoughts people?
Oh as another thing I do have this 1000 mile 30 day exchange thing if any mechanical faults happen with my car, is it worth looking into that as I have until the 28th to take it up?
