Can I ask why you didn't get the DSG? :cool:
Because I presume he's not an invalid.  :wink:

I didnt like the way the DSG drove.  I don't think DSG suits a diesel really.

Abosult Boll**** that it is , dsg is an awsome package suiets the car really well!! Thats why your haveing problems with your gear box mate. I did tell you to get rid of it at 300miles on the clock, you should have knock the car back then?? Your talking out of your chad mate!! :grin:

Dont think you know what you talking about when it comes to DSG??
Unfortunatly VW dont consider my issue a fault so knocking it back is considerable hard.  Still complaining mind, awaiting feedback on the second letter.

I wasnt saying DSG was pap, it just wan't for me, have never been a fan of Auto's.  I did test drive both and prefered the manual.

Question is what car would you get in place of the GTD if you had to decide again and don't say BMW 1 series as they look poop?

ajmoir:
You know deep down that VW are not going to uphold your complaint however unfair it seems to you. I would find the noise you have to contend with unacceptable but VW would say that this is within 'normal' tolerance.
May I suggest you try some Boron Silk in your gearbox to possibly quieten it. I must admit that there has been a significant and positive effect on mine. You have nothing to lose now as they are not going to strip or change the gearbox.

Had the second phone call in response to the second letter I wrote, it basically went like this:

VW call centre lady: P**S OFF

Not impressed, gonna phone dealer tomorrow to see what price he will give me for a buy back.  :cry:

If thats not good enough then the third letter will be to the head office and requesting a formal rejection and I will go from there.
