Great info, but probably time to remove from the forum away from the eyes of those that would do bad things. The fuse location in particular is too much info for them
I have sensored the thread for you but left the fuses info as i think thats important info for anyone that may have a problem with something in the future.
The alarm will have a battery backup as its thatcham cat1 standard so removing the fuse would not stop the alarm anyway.

I may remove the thread once i have the problem sorted.

^Thanks.

Im going to take a quick look this weekend just to make sure its not my fault (should not be as waxoyl was a year and a half ago now but best to check.

Then i think its time to make my list of issues and visit the dealer again to get the alarm siren looked at first then,
+ the squeeks(door rubbers & catches)
+ rattles (3 of the door panels loose near window cause rattles, sunroofs rattle foams gone awol, dash speedo area rattle, sunvisor mirror cover rattle, rear hatch rattle) 
+ rear passenger side suspension thump
+ engine hesitant at 2500rpm
+ waste gate rod rattle at 2500-3000rpm 
+ drivers seat bolster premature ware
+ strange beep beep click/clunk from engine bay every time i turn the car off and get out.
+ rear washer dribble
+ that passenger window blip it had
+ Ware on seat bolster after 4K,
+ Paint issues (lack of coverage and a couple of issues),
+ Foam in arches issues, (open cell and soke up water)
+ Xenons seam to have a dead spot in the beam
+ heater that does not seem to regulate temp very well
+ more i have probably forgot about.

Its a bit worrying now i know what the alarm led ment. As going by the miles i know its been like this since 8am Wednesday morning and its been parked in a ruff part of the city most this week in ear shot but not eye line. I would have never known if something had happened.

No wonder you want to change her  :sick:

I don't really, its our other car we want to change. I do wish the niggles with my mk6 would not multiply though and it was like some of the others on here.  :sad:

It's no good when you have a caf like this, I had two mk5 r32's and the first one was riddled with faults but the second was perfect.

Good on you for sticking with her - I think I'd not have been so patient  :angry:

As I said in the other forum you don't normally here of rear washer nozzles dripping in the UK this happens in the US normally.

Though I thought my rear washer nozzle was leaking earlier this year. You know when you do a wash/wipe on the rear screen it doesn't wipe all the water off it slowly runs down the screen and you have to do a wipe again to clear it. Mine always ran down the screen where the nozzle is so I thought mine was leaking but with closer inspection it wasn't it just dripped around the same place.

My lord Snoops and Jimble. That list of issues is pretty horrendous and would drive me to 'drink'.
Not funny in the least.
Apart from my wonky rear bumper in the flat number plate area (replaced under warranty), self-inflicted damage to front and rear bumpers, vandalism to the roof (twice) and minor damage to the rear screen, my car is faultless and totally rattle free. I would have thought they should all be so. Anything less is unacceptable IMO.
Hope you get these problems attended to and more importantly fixed to your satisfaction.

I can leeve the car over night in the garage, then reverese out and as soon as i pull forward water comes out the washer jet and dribbles down the screen.
