Problem

[C3PO]

Well still going, and hopefully it will last until the end of Feb

Fingers crossed it hangs on till your mk7 turns up.  Just starting the long wait for mine now 

Thanks, that's what I am hoping. Nice spec by the way, I d like black but not sure I could do it justice, especially when you have set the bar so high

Thanks 

I really did think about straying from black this time, not because it's hard to keep clean (what would I do with all that free cleaning time) but just for a change.  Initially was gonna go for lapis blue, but decided to stick with black.  Had a temporary wobble when I saw Mrs Wigit's Night Blue though    but I know if I got any other colour after a few weeks I'd be wishing it was black!  Now if they'd had a dark grey...

I know what you mean, after seeing Wigit's pics I did think have I ordered the right colour, but having owned 2 red GTI's I did think I needed to have a change, and the Lapiz Blue was too much of a lure, even though I suspect a large proportion will have chosen that colour.

A dark grey would have been a great choice, and provided an even greater dilemma!

Hope the time passes quickly for your order, I know I have been waiting since Sept, and I know it's sat waiting for a ship to bring it across the water.

Providing it does not get grounded, I only have a few weeks to go

Hello, new here

I've had the same issue with the light coming on. It's an '11 plate Mk6 GTI with approx. 29k miles on it
Engine felt to be running fine, pulling well across the rev range
Took it to a local specialist (official VW dealer didn't have an appointment for three weeks)

They plugged it in, drained a quarter litre of oil saying the last people to service - a non franchised dealer who I purchased from - had overfilled although I've done 2k miles since. Reset light and all was well

Came on again on Friday, drove 300 motorway miles over the weekend and noticed the light went out on the return journey

Anyone got any ideas? The thought of an intermittent fault worries my wallet!

Did they tell you what the fault code was? I think from memory it was P2015 inlet manifold intermittent signal, so it cannot tell which position the flap is in.

Did they test to see if the flap is operating normally?

For your information, mine is still running fine so I would not worry too much if it is the fault code I quoted above. I was quoted £300 for the part from a VW independant plus labour which had I been keeping the car I would have replaced at some point.

Suggest you find out the code, and if you need some advice, Ben Smith at Skipton VW (good friend) will give you advice on which way to go next.

Cheers. Stupidly, I was so happy not to have a bill into the hundreds that I didn't ask
It's running nicely now but if it happens again I'll get the fault code and call Ben
Thanks
