You cant make this sh%t up......
Todays report
Morning Doug,
We do indeed have some progress but not in the direction we were heading last week!
On completing the wiring checks as agreed with technical department it would appear the conversation our tech had with them last week has resulted in them further investigating within the Volkswagen group the suggestion you emailed from the internet of the ignition switch being the issue.
Technical team have clearly found similar issues and have advised us there has been an isolated case with a Skoda model with identical symptoms so they have now advised us to change ignition switch.
We have indeed ordered replacement ignition switch but this has to come from Germany so unfortunately we do not have a delivery date as yet.
I suggest we monitor delivery schedule of the switch during this week and decide before the end of the week if you want to stay in our Golf demonstrator loan vehicle or indeed want to use your GTi since the effects of the lights coming on create no running problems?
We will be monitoring supply of the switch daily and update you of any change in position.
This does look like to most positive outcome to this needle in haystack we've all been frustrated with.
