i've had my car about a fortnight now and the main problems i have are:
1, The creaking/clicking coming from the drivers door right by my ear when the weather is warm, i think this is coming from the gloss trim on the 'B' pillar as this creaks a little when i open the door too.
2, The rear washer drips now and again but had this issue on a corsa i used to own so not really fussed.
3, The rear wiper operates when selecting reverse even with the the wipers switched OFF.
4, I don't think the static cornerning function is working?
5, And for some reason there is a piece machined out of my front break calipers! any ideas why and are yours the same?

What's 4?
Will check 5 tomorrow as I am miles away from Wolfgang.
No problems with mine regarding rattles or squeaks. But then I drive in 'comfort' mode as I simply cannot abide the horrid road surfaces. Steering and throttle response quite sh!t in this mode though!

According to the manual and what i've read elsewhere static cornering is when you make turns and the dipped beam is on the fog light that corresponds to way you are turning lights up, supposedly to make you more visible, i'm not that fussed about it tbh but if it should work then why doesn't it???

Thanks for illuminating me. Feel such an idiot.
I have to read that bloody manual!
Have not got a clue what's in it!

Mines exactly the same on both sides.
I noticed it when i had the wheels off to seal and wax them.

Point 3 is a Feature of the car

Jimble: So only 1 and 2 to be sorted!
BTW: Can you check, when you have a moment, whether you Monza Shadows are made by Ronal or BBS, please?
We were discussing this on the upgrade thread.

My 17s are Ronal and i expect all mk6 GTI alloys will be.
