Where is the problems sticky??

[GolfTi]

It is a really good idea and thats why so many people are interested and so many noticed it disappeared.

I think though it could have been numbering hundreds within a very short time if the faults/niggles weren't very common.

But whos to say they are the top 10? You, me, doc, VW MDST at your local delaership, MDST at my local dealership, do i have to send a questionair to all VW dealerships, do i include all VWgroup brands if its a common part to them all, all VW forums involving mk6 golfs and maybe others if its a common part to other brands models?.... And there lies the problem, we are back too the definition of 'common'

Does it matter what the dealership problems are? We would be listing real life problems / niggles of users of golfgti.co.uk

Do we need a petition to get it reinstated?
Snoopy, it really is a good idea for a sticky as long as it's limited/moderated.

I'll be honest when I first read the post my initial impressions were "bloody hell lets all sh!t on the MK6 from a great height" as the post would be 100% negative. I was going to start a similar thread with "Lets all post the good things we like about our cars" but decided against it.

Like a few have mentioned, maybe it would be good to have a "Common" niggles post that you could let grow but then cut the dross out. Or have a balanced outlook as there are some great features folk have mentioned through threads.

But you need to chill Snoopy  Don't take it to heart.

I am chilled  
I looked 5 steps ahead i noticed what was happenning. As you say people don't like to hear the negatives but i thought it would be helpful. It sure as hell would save my fingers from typing the same stuff over and over and over again when newbies ask the same questions. (Search does not always bring all the answers up).
I guess its been prooven that mk6 owners like mk5 owners don't want to hear what the guys who fix the cars day in day out say they often fix because according to some of them its not common problems, or the ones that also have backing of forum posts that im constantly repeating over the past year and a half on not just this forum but many other mk6 forums.

IF thats the way you want to go thats fine. But i don;t think a small 20 member or less is a good representation of whats common and what happens if only one car has a problem but its known to the trade as a common problem i guess that does not get included even though someone may end up buying a car with this problem.

I don't want it reinstated, not the way it was.
If you or anyone else wants to start a new problem type thread thats fine.
But i don't want anything to do with it.

I seem to be repeating the same reply over and over again. So i think i should just STFU and let you all get on with whatever way you want to go with this. Bye..

Snoppy I know you don't want to go on about it so I'll shut up after this then, promise 

You obviously have some inside information on the subject that we the ordinary punters aren't privileged to. What about if that started the thread not necessarily by you (Doc maybe  ) that people could confirm or deny they had a problem with and build from there. It could be trimmed depending on the common occurrence of these.  I know you originally posted these.

I don't want to stir the hornet's next on this topic and agree that the thread could get subjective and out of hand but I'd be keen to know about problems that a little preventative maintenance could solve. I'd vote for establishing a thread with a constructive bias, perhaps in the maintenance area to keep it focused.

I've solved it too by posting a poll!
