Yeah, I even had it on my list of things to check so either I completely missed it or it was there when I took delivery of the car and it's since fallen off!

Anyhow, the dealer's replacing it under warrenty in a couple of weeks when it goes in to have the passenger seat looked at for an annoying squeak

I would stick some duck tape or something over the hole for now if it was me, last thing you want is all this road salt/mess going near the foglight connections and causing problems later in life.

With all these issues is it not worth sticking with the mk5?

The mk5 , has its own issues aswell , 12.000 miles on mine , cam belt, water pump, tensioner's , pullys all needed replacing, then the coil packs, alarm system kept goin off, then the dreaded rattles!! All done under warrenty thanks FOOKs . At the end of the day they are cars and they go wrong, thats why i dont keep then long 2yrs max , then get a new one therefor I allways have a warrenty to fall back on. Not in into modding value my warrenty to much.

No doubt the mk6 will have its own problems too, but the car is still a great car to own & drive , and will always have one any day over the other crap that's out there. Enjoy Steve :wink:

You are so right.
Have you checked whether your GTD has XDS?

A couple of you have mentioned that the headlamp washers are annoying, what is it about these that you don't like? [I'm wondering what to expect]

1. They come on once when you only want to spray your window washer jets.
2. They will give your car a full wash.

Somebody posted "a trick" to get around that.. :cool:

It has something to do with activating the window-washers ever so slightly and once in operation give it a firm sqirm in order to get the fluids
(sounds rather sensual :tongue:) ...this way the headlight-washers stay unactivated....

Can anyone else confirm this.. :huh:.

Man, you have got sex on the brain!
First, you talk about 'foreplay' under the 'Left footrest' thread and now you are suggesting something 'sensual' regarding fluids! :wink: :shocked:
