Im Back!!
« on: 19 January 2010, 13:40 »
Glad to say Im finally back in my mk6 gti. A much nicer place to be than the mk5 but i think thats probably down to the RNS510 as well as being better put together.

Collected the car to find black tar/paint all down one side. When I ask about getting it removed I was told its just tar... and to expect that on a white car. Obviously i wasnt going to buy that story as it was only on one side. So after a 1hr wait I got it back removed.

Then i drive to the exit of the dealership to find the car is popping and splurting. So i return to be told its running on vapours and came into them that way  :angry: . I very much doubt it as there was atleast 20miles on it when it left me. I asked if it would make the petrol station and the just shrugged :rolleyes:. So i made him follow me there incase i ran out... the car shuddered and chugged all the way there.

A £5k+ job and they cant put a fiver of juice in.... sums up VW and their dealers tbh :undecided: Driving home i hit 80 (kph) and floored it to find the armrest went into a crazy rattle.. have yet to make it do it again, but i will be trying.

I wouldnt normally be bothered about the bill. But lets face it we all end up paying towards it in the end :undecided:

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?

I collected my White GTI just before christmas and also noticed little black spots on some of the panels, didn't think much of it and then we had the bad weather so i put it im my garage and didn't take it out until about a week ago to give it a good wash but the black spots had started to RUST!

So i dont think its tar like the dealer said, easy to remove though.

get it right kev.. i said there is not much difference in the drive. the nicer interior was my reason for getting the MK6 so why would i say that :wink:


I will wait to see the full total it cost in the end. I believe we did get an approx price on the "guess the cost of repair" thread but that was before i convinced them my other scuffed wheel was because of the crash  :lipsrsealed: :grin:
