GTI MK6 - Faults/Rattles/Squeeks etc

[Jimble]

Thanks for the info p3asa, i'm not fussy about getting it enabled, i just hate the thought that i'm missing something!

Came across this site that suggests you can turn them on but the dealer needs to enable it. Maybe VAG.COM if you have it.

I think its in the manual due to it being standard in some other countries.

Thanks p3asa. You are a mine of information.

4, I don't think the static cornerning function is working?

Thanks Jimble for this alert.
Will check mine out tomorrow.
Might need dealer intervention.

They are probably worth activating if they have that feature.
Doing a 3 point turn is a sight for onlookers.

I truly despair............I just picked up the beast, the dealership claimed that the rear 1/4 panel had been replaced, lo and behold the same rattle is there, from the same place, making the same noise.

Are these technicians deaf, stupid, incompetent or a combination of all three.  I have to go back, yet again (third time now) and demonstrate the noise to these numpties.  Poor girl at the service desk could tell I was pissed but I told her its wasnt her fault, just the bloody techs!

Might as well have tried to have a go myself.

Arrrrrgh!

not gilbert lawton by any chance?

i've had my car about a fortnight now and the main problems i have are:
3, The rear wiper operates when selecting reverse even with the the wipers switched OFF.

Are you sure you haven't got auto selected with the wiper switch? [working off rain sensor] My rear wiper doesn't operate when reversing if wipers are switched OFF.

Don't know what that machined out bit is on your calipers, nothing like that on mine.

A minor irritation...

What the feck were VW thinking when they designed the fuel filler cap leash.  I've only filled her up 3 times since I've had her, but each time I have had to hold the cap in my hand as it just damn well refuses to slot on the filler door, and I dont want it flapping about willy-nilly on the rear wing.

Am I missing something?  My previous Mk4 had a rubberised leash, and it sat fine on the door.  If I remember, all my prior Golfs didn't have the leash.

It hangs the wrong way round on the door. So i found out. The cap sits on the paintwork side of the slap  So the top of the caps on the inside of the flap.
