What petrol do you use? I found that in the early days when I used BP it was AWFUL for it. Now I only use Shell and Tesco and it hasnt happened since.

Ditto... never had a problem with this.

My pet hate of the Mk5 has to be the water coming in the window.  I can see a new set of switches for the windows being needed soon  :angry:

Single reverse light.
The way the tilt/slide front seats work.
Water dripping down when opening the tailgate after washing.
The fuel cap not sitting on the flap - always falls off and could potentially scratch the car.
The cup holders don't hold anything securely that is bigger than a 330ml can.
Not being able to change through your preset radio stations on the MFSW - it just goes through whatever it can pick up instead of what you have stored.
Auto wipers not that brilliant - wipe when they don't need to and don't wipe when I can't see anything!

what you mean depreciation? its prob one of the best cars for depreciation when you compare it to rivals ie clio 197, vxr, megane, focus etc, people who lose most cash are the fools that buy new instead of 12 months old lol  :laugh:

True, bought mine for 18200 a year ago, should still get between 15-16k due to condition and spec.
