so, its been in today, and had the following treatment:

Test drive found there was a hiccup as described.
checked for software update - needed update, so update applied, then test drive to discover slight misfire under hard acceleration.
Removed all spark plugs and checked - found cracks in all spark plugs !!!! replaced and tested ok.

Been washed very well, and cleaned inside, which has saved me a job, although not quite to my standards, but saved me several hours :smiley:

Driven home (not far and all seems well). Given £25 in leisure vouchers as car been put in under warranty.

Time will tell. :lipsrsealed:

Great news, fingers crossed. £25 voucher? What's that for?


Jim


It would appear that Wayside Volkswagen give you £25 in vouchers because my car has visited the dealer under warranty !!!! Of course i did not refuse !!!! :grin:

Wow, I wish Ridgeway VW did that, I'd be better off by £125!


Jim
blimey, looks like i have been lucky then, and i am not talking about the vouchers. although io could also have taken up to £25 in value from the accessories on display, but think having VW cufflinks would be a step too far !!!! :rolleyes:

Does your turbo seem to whissle when you put you foot down and take it right up the rev range in 2nd/3rd/4th?
Mine only seem to do it when its a constant acceleration through the gears but not if accelerating in say 4th to over take  :undecided:

Yep, mines whistles like that as well through the gears, and I'd swear it's only something it's just started doing  :undecided:

No wolf whistles from Wolfgang, but then I am driving like demented Miss Daisy spurred on by Wagner's Operas wildly and wondrously winging me on my way. Anyway, I listen to my music not my engine as I strongly feel this is much more enjoyable. :grin:
