Well been out in another of the stealer's GTI's and guess what no wind noise/whistling through the door/window!

letter of complaint gone into stealer's service manager seeing as they've had the car in twice now and also sent copy to VW customer services, sales guy actually gave some good advice such as asking for a VW engineer to be present as well as the stealer's mechanic when take it in again!

oh well we'll see what happens.

Ah well, never mind sounds like there might be a bit of a flaw with that wing mirror thing, good luck getting it fixed whatever it maybe.

Happy weekends to you as well!!

Hi there,

I had the same wind noise on my car for about 12 months and it was eventually traced to the drivers door mirror. I believe there is a problem with a gap in the mirror that causes the wind to come in. I had three door seal changes and door alignment checks done by three dealers before Witherspoons in Edinburgh fixed the problem. Please contact me if I can elaborate further.

Yes I have noticed this to, with the climate control is off, when driving I do feel some sort of air on my hand on the steering wheel, never thought much of it.  I knew it was coming from the air vent, and when the engine is heated up you feel a sip of heat also coming through.

Hi Gary & All

although its been with the dealer for a week whilst we were on holiday (free secure garaging!) it is still there and possibly worse!  they are ordering a new seal but given previous comments I'll look into the wing mirror suggestions.

Now have VW onto the garage direct and i will be speaking to them also.

also got cruise control fitted while it was in for a discounted price of £147 and if they think they're being paid before the wind noise is sorted they have another thing coming!

family is well and bump is growing steadily!  :smiley:

Latest update is that after 2 days in the garage and them saying they have replaced a twisted door seal and aligned the door better - yes you guessed it theres still a significant wind noise through the door!!!!

Been onto VW today and am awaiting their come back but am about to quote Section 14 of the Sale of Goods Act to them and try and get a replacement car if they cant fix it.

thanks for advice to date from all and I'll keep you updated with progress.

well it went back in on Thursday morning and came out in the afternoon - ALL FIXED!!!  when i asked what they had done they couldn't answer it as the mechanic who looked at it wasn't there - it seems to me that it could have been an easy fix and they don't want to admit it!!  anyway can now enjoy the GTI without wind rushing in!  although a new rattle has started!! oh well!

the garage have now admitted that the replacement window seal they fitted had been fitted incorrectly & poorly and that all it took to resolve was to get someone who can fit a new seal out of a bag proper!

got some good news today in that the cruise control i had fitted 6 weeks ago, for a discounted price of £147, and that i had not paid for, is no longer to be paid for by me!  VW have agreed to meet the cost due to the problems - just shows that polite but very firm complaining pays off!
