You might want to check out the steering on and off from full lock as some cars had steering rack issues that were resolved under warranty. It sounds like a grating/crunching sound if it is there and you'll know straight away after two or three turns of the wheel. :smiley:

You got any plans for the GTI Soundlab? Or since the Skyline have you had enough of modifying for the time being - hence going for a more sensible car i guess!?

The items you mention aren't recalls but merely an update that is either carried out when the vehicle routinely visits the workshop or the dealer may chose to write to the customer.

I'm not sure if it's the same for VW as Skoda but Skoda place a sticker in the boot adjacent to the build specification sticker under the carpet and also in the service book when the ECU update is carried out.  If you bought from a VW dealer then the workshop would most likely do the flash during PDi if it's not already been carried out.

WhiteGTI - the intention is to keep the Golf fairly standard, I might allow myself a REVO remap down the road some, but for now it'll stay as VW intended.

I spent alot of money on my Pulsar GTI-R (which was running over 300hp) and then another shedload on the Skyline (which was running 440hp) so over 9 years I've spent a fair bit on modifying cars.  I'd like to move away from that and just enjoy owning and using a car instead of modifying and worrying about it all the time.

Don't get me wrong though, I have enjoyed having my cars tuned...who doesn't enjoy planting their right foot on 440hp with a straight six twin turbo howling away !!, but, for me, there's always those "what's that noise ?" or "hmmm, that doesn't sound right" thoughts in the back of your mind and you start to wonder how expensive it's going to be.

I still think I'm going to really enjoy the GTI, it offers a bit of everything.  Decent motoring, quality and style and the opportunity of some fun when you want to have some.  It's a great all-rounder.

Joesgti / vRStu - thanks  :)
