Got my first "fault" of any note; slight tapping from n/s rear door when moving. I'm pretty sure it's just the striker that needs a slight adjustment, as you can move the door slightly inwards when it's closed by pushing on the handle. It's nothing really but will get dealer to sort it. Apart from that my car is superb.

Well, I got into the car this morning and the windscreen wipers were in the up position rather than in their normal down (resting) position.  :grin:

Dont ask me why.

It's pretty weird, and worrying though. The car engine is off, why would the wipers move on their own. And I defo didnt use them as it wasnt raining yesterday.

Whats to say it doesnt unlock the doors on its own for no reason.  :shocked:

You might have knocked the wiper stalk getting out/in without noticing, which moved the wipers to the 'service' position.

Anyone had problems with the xenons? Mine were adjusted way too low. As I found out in a German forum, nearly all Mk6 with Xenons have or had this problem. Dealer wasn't able to fix it ("everything is ok") so I adjusted them by myself. Everything is fine now.

Mine rattles like a pill box, behind the dash above the Radio, somewhere from the boot (again) and the drivers seat drives me mad with a knocking sound when turning corners.

Back to the dealers again. :sick:
