I got fed up replacing mine so siliconed them in the last time, haven't lost one since..  :laugh:

Reflection of Air vents annoy me too along with the wing mirror adjustment knob..

Great idea that thanks.

Am I missing sarcasm here?

How do you change the bulbs?

Another thing that irritates me, whenever I change the temperature to either "lo" or "hi" on the temperature the car suddenly panics and thinks there is a lack of oxygen and so blasts the fan up to full whack.... silly car  :grin:



Surely the climate control should never really leave "hi" up there in Scotland, so it shouldn't really be a problem?  :tongue: :tongue:

brakes are crap for a modern hot hatch and totally unforgivable IMO. the more i drive it the more it pisses me off.

the interior squeaks and creaks can be annoying then the next day they're gone only to randomly come back?!?!

after i wash and dry the car water drips from the door drains for ages which can be annoying!

The puny reversing light is annoying and as good as useless. It might help a bit more if there were 2. Penny pinching by VW!  :angry:

The headlight washers; use copious amounts of washer fluid, they do a good job of washing the bonnet, but aren't very effective at cleaning the headlights.  :grin:

Other than the above, really happy with my GTD. I've been fortunate not to suffer the creaks and rattles other owners have experienced, and after 7 months of ownership, still really enjoy just driving it!  :smiley:

I never use them so unlikely to ever need to change a bulb, the silicone is not permanent so could be separated if required.

I'll echo several people in this thread

The fact that cruise control and 18 inch alloys were (and still are) optional extras really annoys me.

The fact that my car creaks more than all of my mates' cars, none of which are remotely as expensive. It even creaks more than my 91 Mk2

The fact that if it's rained overnight and I open the window without thinking I get drenched

Still, there's much to love.

Wet outer seat bolsters on both front seats (with associated drip stains!).... Is it the door's leaking in the rain or just the drips when I open the door to get in???... Dammit I keep forgetting to check! DOH!

Always parking a foot away from the kerb (thinking I'm just inches from scuffing the alloys!)  :rolleyes:

What irritates me is dealer after sales, service, quality and attitude.

Back on topic, the one thing that annoys me about my GTI is the cheap door cards and rear parcel shelf. I think VW have done a good job in making it look as good as an Audi inside but they have failed on the quality side of things.

How VW can charge more for an R than Audi do an S3 is completely beyond me.....
