Finally an update.
After a couple of bongless weeks they came back with a vengeance on Sunday which was fortunate timing as I was booked into VW today.
After a couple of hours driving a gutless bucket of jelly in the form of a Diesel Tiguan DSG loan car it was soooo nice to be back at the helm of the GTI which suddenly felt so taut, responsive and quick!
And next time someone starts criticising the interior of the mk8 I can categorically say the mk7 era cars actually aren’t all that either. Some of the plastics on the Tig are definitely low rent.
Anyhow, the diagnosis was as expected - new steering wheel on order.
