Still looking for a few more Mk 6 GTI owners wanted, for our magazine article

As usual at this time of year, we're just starting work on our annual GTI Special issue of Volkswagen Driver magazine, for publication before GTI International and I'm looking for a few Mk 6 GTI / R owners who'd like to write a firsthand report about their own GTI + supply a few good digital pics that we can make into a mini-article (or maybe even a major article..?)

It’s a rare chance to see your car featured in a national magazine :-)

Don't have to be radically modded or show cars, daily drivers are just as welcome :-)

For more info, please email me with a bit of basic info about / sample pic of your car to: Neil.Birkitt@autometrix.co.uk

I look forward to hearing from you – in the circumstances, final copy deadline has been extended to May 18, but sooner is always better...

I did this for last year's VW Driver mag GTI special.  It was great seeing my car and words in print, and will be a nice keepsake of my mk6 after I've moved onto the next car (in about 3 months).  Really pleased I went for it and would recommend to anyone thinking of doing it

I wont be doing it as I dont know if it would go down so well complaining about........

• All the Timing Chain Issues
  
• Numerous cabin rattles I have had to fix

• Both rear brakes shields rusting and having to remove
  
• Under spec'd clutch on the manuals which will need replacing soon

• A lot of people having issues with the N75 valve / Inlet Manifold 
• Oil leaks from PCV / turbo

Even though the car has all these faults (I haven't suffered all these) I still enjoy the car, but not that happy to write an article about it...

I still have a couple of slots to fill in the Mk 6 section, if any keen Mk 6 owners can get a few pics and some notes to me over the Bank Holiday weekend. I'm not averse to publishing some constructive criticisms.. it doesn't all have to be singing praises..  ;-)

Haha, no wouldn't be a glowing review!  Glad to hear that despite issues you have still enjoyed the car and making it your own with the various mods.

Apart from a couple of annoying rattles luckily mine has been trouble free, but I've had it from new and not inherited anything from previous ownerships.

Didn't you say you were getting rid and moving to an ST Ross?  Still on the cards?

Each time I've seen Neil, I've suggested a GT TDI feature to encompass all marks, but nothing yet. Maybe I'll have to have another word at Inters.
