Scirocco Central

Hmmmm... I'm almost tempted to take a bit of a hit on the insurance and running costs and go for the 2.0L just for peace of mind

So I'm in the market for a Scirocco and was looking at this model. Just to clarify, as I'd really like to avoid this issue if I can, is it only a problem on 2009 models?
(Also, any other things to look out for when viewing would be much appreciated)
