Too nuch lag
ragged to death
so nightmare buying used
other than that there ok
.......
( but the TFSI engine is bullit proof )!!! Rubbish
i think your very mislead by your statement
(no more reliable, actually worse than some other makes of the run of the mill perfomance hatch engines)
for example:
camshaft and cam follower issues
water pump impellers falling off
inlet valve problems
tumble valve issues
dv valve problems
Failed belt idler pulleys
i could go on, but it appears you have been suckered by the typical VW advertising i am afaid
........
VW tech good guess
the amount of rough Ed 30,s we see makes us laugh, they tend to all be bought by the same type of folk, u know the ones that used to buy Subaru,s a year or two ago,
that said I am not knocking them, there are better and worse cars around but very few proper clean ED30,s
just as I say don't believe the hype thou
.......
Not true i think, you would find more them in non franchised network as you cant afford the labor rates.
You want to pay more money for a ED 30 which is after all a de-tuned Audi S3 without 4wd, shonky interior build, and a few extra badges then fine.
My Missus runs a Mk5 GTI so you cant say i'm a hater, sorry.
That said i wouldnt buy one if i didnt work on them.
Just dont make them out to be something there clearly not
(No better or worse than any other hot hatch on sale)
......
let me point this out it's the same car nothing special off the same prodution line, u just got lucky 3rd time of trying l.o.l
You are believing the hype chap ( advertiser's dream) !
Loving the black wheels very nice!

This is why i always came to forums. Not the bickering, not the pat on the backs, not the modding, not the blinkered owners but people who work on the cars, see them regular, who know the faults and let everyone know. This imo is what forums should be about, and what they use to be about, not all the other stuff, i wish more people would do it.
Off topic, but unlike some i would like to know these type of things, so i know what to maybe look out for in the future. If you know of common faults and issues on the mk6 GTI please feel free to PM me and let me know. Either now or in the future when more come to light.
Thank you
Geoff.
