tbh... i couldnt care less about panels, paint, and all the other stuff as long as the car drives correct. I dont even care if its dirty, or painted pink (as long as this doesnt draw any extra attention).

Sometimes you just need to drive a car rather that sit and look at it!  :nerd: :evil:

Here's a suggestion - grow up and get a life. Your ceaseless whinging is becoming tedious. Most people, when faced with a problem, get it sorted and move on. You've been whinging about your minor problem across endless threads and posts - sell the damned car, buy something else and join another forum. And be grateful you don't have to earn a living going on foot patrol in Afghanistan. Those guys have my sympathy. You don't.

I've got a gti and my brother has a scirrocco which i've driven and cleaned several times, my opinion is that both have there faults and there is evidence of cost cutting by vw in both cars, the finish on both cars is fine as far as general appearance, my number plate surround is a bit wavey but i can deal with that, my rear screen wash drips in hot weather and the door pillars tick when it's hot but these things are quirks, at the end of the day the body of the car is the same as a boggo golf it's the gubbins underneath that make it what it is and i love it! The roc has a poor design at the front, the panel gap however even, is huge around the bonnet with no gas strut to keep it up just an old school metal bar. If i were you am1w i'd be looking for a different car cos your obviously not happy with the current one, having said that i'm sure you would find something not right.

You really need a remap.

The GTI is a fantastic car. You've had a few problems and seem to have fallen out of love.  :cry:
Shame.

I've had mine over a year now and it (he) still makes me smile inside everyday. :smiley:
If you really are going to exchange this great car then can I have first refusal on the Ed30 gearknob?

I love the way my car drives and looks and far prefer it to a Scirocco. My only major gripe with the car has been the excessively deformed rear bumper in the number plate area and the problems I had with VWCS to get this rectified. Beleive me, it has been a very unpleasant experience. If the deformation was minor, I could live with it. It was not. VW (eventually), the Bodyshop and an Independent Inspection all agreed that this deformation was unacceptable.

As I have yet to see a Scirocco with the build problems of a Golf, my post is valid IMO.

I also have a Mercedes C Class 350 CDI Sport which is perfectly finished with zero problems.

I will not buy a VW again mainly because I feel this company has abysmal Customer Service.

I simply cannot understand why people find it so dreadful if one expects a high level of quality for this product which is not cheap. The price of a modern car has nothing to do with the overall fit and finish of the panels as the Koreans and Japenese have proved so conclusively.

I have not fallen out of love with my car but with VW as a company.
Hopefully, by Wednesday, it will be sorted and all will be well with Wolfgang but not in my feelings for VW.

Re-map will be next year. But first the Bi-Xenons.

Can you wait until 2012 for my knob? :grin:

Glad to here you are not divorcing Wolfgang.


Flashy headlights over a remap??? :huh: You must do a lot of night driving.
I've not driven a rocco so can't comment on the build quality, can't fault my Golf. Are they made in Wolfsburg?

I'll stay on the lookout for another Ed30 knob.

AlanH or should I call you AdolfH:

I cannot undersatand why you are confusing the Golf GTi Forum with the dreadful tragedy that is Afghanistan. Might I suggest you re-align your mind and separate the two.

As for the tragedy that is Afghanistan, I run clinics to give help and support to our maimed and damaged soldiers. You might provide them with just sympathy, but I work hard to help them, solve their horrible problems and try and improve the quality of their lives. You probably have little or no idea what it is like to deal with these tragic cases.

Your stupid post just belittles you and shows the shallowness of your view of people who post on this Forum.

I would be grateful if you don't react or reply to my posts as you are beneath my consideration and contempt.
