I sent you a PM earlier about it Doc. You can post said PM if you want Doc as i don't have a copy of it. It just reminded me of the Edition30 post on the mk5 section. All owners want to hear is good and prase not what the dealers know.

The reason i removed it was simply as i posted it! I actually ment to lock it. I just did not want another argument as it seemed others would argue what was common and not. Good for them, but its funny the dealers have official document on how to fix/try and fix all the problems that were listed if there not common.
And i know alot of my posts in here is answering alot of the same questions over and over and over and over again about the same 'non' common problems.

If someone wants to start a new thread fine im not stopping them. (I did think it would be a useful idea at the time)

Just im not having my name at the head of it when people start discussing whats common and not in their opinion.

I thought it was useful on one hand if it was common problems but if everyone just posted their wee niggles then the list would be massive and to outsiders it would look like the MK 6 was a peace of junk.

If it was just for common problems then great.

I personally had not experienced any of the problems listed. (Nothing the VW rubber stick didn't sort out anyway).
Mk7 GTI. DBP, DCC, Winter pack. Mine since new, July 2013.
GTI no. 4. Golf no. 5.  VW no. 7.

I sent the PM back mate so you can edit it for the masses  :wink:

Why not have the problems and solutions but keep it heavily modded?

It's a shame the minority spoil it for the masses  :sad:

I'd re-start it and then lock it and update accordingly with faults that people seem to keep posting about.  The masses will help determine the majority of the common problems  :wink:

You could put links to the threads where the discussions have taken place thus leaving the thread clean and only listing the faults rather than descending into chit chat
