Where is the problems sticky??

[simonpolly]

Its a good idea ,but it would just end up with people whinging about their individual problems not actual common problems i.e problems that 3 or more MK6 GTI owners had experinced. .
Try again but ask people to stick to common problems that they know at least one other person on the forum has experinced.

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 

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

I will let Doc post and edit it if its to be done again,
As what i know as common (relayed from VW DST/MDSTs from my bro) and what class as 'common' and an issue is totally different it seems. It also seems what im forever answering time and time again, over and over again (not just on this mk6 forum either) is also not 'common'.

I think the problem sticky was overloading the forum due to size so was deleted

The MK6 Golf GTI wins all these accolades and is universally regarded as an outstanding car yet we find twenty five common faults in three posts. Five maybe ?

If you really think what magazine are paid to say, and the cars they get are off the shelf production models that are not specially prepped your sadly mistaken. 

Anyway you guys believe what you want, i don't care.
I know what i have been relayed from the guys who fix them, Also the amount of times i have kindly and politely  answered the same questions over and over and over again. Im done on this thread. I don't give a damb what people beleive is common or not you lot do what you want with this subject im done with it.

Seeing is believing, it’s Golf not a Rolls Royce, if I paid £100k I would expect perfection. £25k very good will do me.

p.s its not a dig at you ,dont take it personal

No one is having a pop at you, some of us just have different opinions on what is common and what isn't.

We all really like you and are glad you are one of our Mods.

Your input and knowledge is second to none.

I think my posts on this thread explain it.
I started a sticky thread about common problems and issues with the mk6.
I started it off with simple ones infact not the complicated mechanical ones.
The ones i posted were ones i have had relayed to me from VW techs, and are the most common questions i seem to answer on here and other mk6 forums.
There was two additional replies to said thread both listing issues said VW employees had also relayed to me but i had not posted yet, but others did. (One of the replys was more PDI related but still issues if your buying a new car you may want to watch out for)
It then got were there was more than a few replies saying they were not common faults and it started to go the way of this thread.
I decided at that point to cut my losses, give up from informing people, (what forums were originaly designed for, not the pat on the back prase look at my new gizmo stuff) of what i had been relayed and were always answering on the forums and just close the thread.
I started the thread so i decided to cut my losses and close it. Instead i deleted it, but the outcome was the same.
I did not want my name at the top of a thread that was just turning into an argument of peoples opinions of what they thought was common and what was not.

Hope this explains it for you.
