GTI MK6 - Faults/Rattles/Squeeks etc

[scotland67]

Yes Snoopy it was Benfield Silverlink as I live in Whitley Bay and I bought the car from them March last year. No complaints from me about customer service or the very good deal on buying the car.

[mkviken]

what about their service department?

would you trust them to do a good job with your car?


i 100% will NOT be going back to pullman Sunderland ever again after letting them loose on my brand new car.

Pullman Durham seem a lot more professional but TBH i don't want to use that franchise again.

Tell me this, had anyone else bar me have the really annoying door handle rattle's? In mine, its more on my passenger side (its a 3 door). I thought it was the door but while driving i pulled the handle a cm or 2 and it stopped so thats where its coming from, the cars going in on wednesday for a few other problems so ill be adding it to the list.

I too am suffering with a noise in the doors. There is a kind of knocking noise coming from the passenger door. Sounds as though something is loose inside. I guess it's the locking mechanism so hopefully this will be sorted when the car goes in for it's 2nd service this week.

Mine is going in for it's second service next week (20k miles) ive also got a knocking noise from underneat the drivers seat.

Been quoted £299 for the service
!!!!!

Once again my dealer have done another good job, I called them to book my 20k mile service and told them about the £249 price the VW website they said that's only for dealers who have signed up to the scheme.

They then said, how about paying £225 instead? 


I know the dealers get a lot of stick and quite rightly (when they deserve it) my dealer once again has been excellent.

I thought I'd developed an annoying rattle the other morning as I was driving down the M62. I'm driving along with my head dug down near the gear stick trying to hear where it was coming from . I'm prodding this, hitting that whilst doing ** mph. Then I realised it was a water bottle in the passenger door pocket. It'd been there for months to be honest so why on earth it all of a sudden decides to start rattling I'll never know.

It was a moment reminiscent of the Mk2 advert with the woman's squeaky earring!!! I must also say, though, that the Mk2 creaks from the rear nearside back seat area so I might take it back to the dealer, show him a video of that 1980s advert and complain!!!!!!!

the only rattle i have is from the chrome rings around the speedo/ rev counter seem to be moving a bit and ill need to get it sorted soon

Just got the car back from it's 20k mile service!

£225 for an oil and pollen filter change!!!! They told me that nothing else should be done at 20k miles! Is that true? can anyone advise if they are fobbing me off please?


Cheers,

I had my 20K service 2 weeks ago albeit on a GT Tdi and they only changed the oil and pollen filter.   Not sure I would have paid anywhere near what you paid for yours though!!!

my service book says that 20k service needs brakes cleaning, little things like door hinges greased etc but otherwise is just an oil change
