Just waiting for some dry and very cold weather  :cool:

Ill be thinking of you while i accelerate hard from standstill in the rain over the next few days with no problems what so ever  :cool:

If you love your R32 so much why are you selling it?

Unfortunately you will get the odd dud with any make of car.

Hope you get yours sorted/replaced.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

That's a shame.

A VW franchised dealer who can't fix a VW. I don't understand this (or accept it). There can't be such a thing as a 'dud' car, surely. It's just parts - find the parts that don't work replace them with ones that do. It's a car, not a space shuttle - they should be able to fix it.

Another thing I've noticed is the number of GTI owners over the last six months that have had faults. Considering the ones sold to people on this forum must be only a small percentage of the total sold in the UK, there have been quite a few problems. Or am I imagining things?

Had a bad rattle from the tailgate which turned out to be a broken boot lock which has been replaced but other than that I'm really pleased, a lot less issues than the ED30 before it.

So did go from an Edition30 to mk6 then? how did you get on with that? Steve30 :wink:

Hi all

Had my car from 29th July absolutely no problems whatsoever, no re-maps or other mods, it is a brilliant car in all respects for me. Love it!! :grin:
