bye bye mk 5 ...hello mk 6
« on: 28 July 2009, 12:03 »
Changed my 05 GTI for a new mk 6 yesterday. Very happy...had 4 1/5 years of great fun in the mk5 and the new one seems just as good and somewhat better and a nicer place to be inside....was sad to see the old one go...still looked like new after all that time.

...although the new one no longer sounds quite like a diesel at tickover  :wink:

Maybe seeya over in the mk 6 section  :smiley:

Id say its a pretty safe bet that it is if its an 05 model.

Mine is also an 05 model and sounds like a diesel on tickover, has been since I owned it (1 year 4 months). From what I have read its nothing to worry about and Im not spending loads of money to try and fix something that isnt broken.

yea, it was march 05 and was the AXX engine. Sounded like a diesel at tick over from the day it was new.....50k miles later sounded the same. Never had any problems with it what so ever and it loosened up about 30k miles and was running really well...so might just have been a characteristic of that early engine.
