I've probably got about 75% of the issues that you have snoopy, i reckon i'll be going to the stealers with a very similar list soon! :angry:

Cars been in for two days to Benfield Newcastle and just picked it up i asked about most the issues i had and the answers are below in blue for the ones i asked about, Im not sure if any are the same as yours but they may help.



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, Siren replaced
+ the squeeks(door rubbers & catches) Followed the TPI to 'lube with Krytox'
+ rattles (3 of the door panels loose near window cause rattles, Followed TPI for 'cracking noise from B-pillar or front doors' and TPI for 'door/door trim - noises'
+ sunroofs rattle foams gone awol, Cannot fault rattle, Missing part not found on database
+ dash speedo area rattle, sunvisor mirror cover rattle Could not fault 
+ Intermit engine hesitant at 30mph 3rd gear when i put my foot down (~2500rpm to 3500rpm) Can not fault
+ waste gate rod rattle at 2500-3000rpm Followed TPI for 'rattling noises from engine/exhaust system' , part on back order
+ drivers seat bolster premature ware since ~ 2000 miles Non warrenty - wear and tear
+ strange beep beep click/clunk from engine bay every time i turn the car off and get out. From throttle valve normal operation
+ rear washer dribble after use. No fault found
+ that passenger window blip it had tested with VAS 5051B 'Incorrect basic setting/adaptation sporadic', Reset
+ 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, seem to like to freeze me sometimes.
+ more i have probably forgot about. :grin:

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.

Snoopy, I havent read the whole thread but spotted the nozzle problem, are you aware of?



Rear Washer Nozzle Drips After Use TSB 2023248

The water from the rear washer nozzle continues to run out after washer is shut off.

Technical Backround

Rear washer hose retains washer solvent after use. Without a check valve the excess water will continue to drain off out of the washer nozzle.

Service

Fit a non-return valve in the hose of the rear window washing system.

443-955-665 hose
113-955-975-C valve
000-979-992-A sleeve
1J0-955-875-R couplpiece
Now = 2011 MK6 GTI - Reflex Silver
Past = 2006 MK5 GTI - Tornado Red and Solid Black

Blimey snoops, not quite the results you (or anyone else on here) were hoping for aye? I suppose the main issues from that list that i have that they've sorted are the waste gate rattle, the creaking seals and the clicking B pillar trim, it's typical that they're trying to fob you off with the rest!
Did they give you an idea when they'll be getting the part for the waste gate rattle?

14th August they hope as its on back order.
They very kindly supplied me with TPI's (Technical product information) (what a TPS is called in the UK) for the waste gate rattle, creaking seals and clicking B-pillar  :smiley:
All are known TPI issues and easy sorted for you by your dealer.

It makes a ticking or cracking noise as your driving along on uneven roads.
It lists the causes as
Door lock and locking bar (clean and greeze).
Or B-pillar (fix foam tape in the join of the two panels).
Or open weld connections of plastic parts on the rear of the door trim (heat the plastic to remake the join)

I wonder if evo could sort a full list of the known TPS/TPI issues with the mk6 so at least we'd know what VW actually know about that they can fix and what ussues we have that they can't/won't?
