Re: Timing chain derailed

Well, after a lot of work it woudl appear I need a new engine!

Got quoted around £5k by four seperate garages and £5.5k by VW plus labor!!!

I have now sold the car as is to the original garage for £3k as I couldn't justify spending £5k on a car thats on worth £7k.

Absolutely gutted!

Re: Fuel filler flap not opening

I had this on mine just after picking the car up from the dealer.

At first they just sprayed some lube onto it and it worked fine for a week, then it happened again.

I got a new servo (or actuator) fitted and have not had an issue since.

They are only about £50 I think and are dead simple to fit.

Air con making a whiring sound

Morning!

My aircon is making a really annoying whining / whiring noise whilst driving slowly.

If I turn the aircon off and leave the fans on the noise stops.

Any ideas?

if it helps, its a 10 plate 2 Tsi GT?

Cheers

Matt

Re: Dynamic Chassis Control

mine had this problem,it was down to a faulty sensor which is apparently quite a common problem and a really simple fix. i just dropped mine off at VW and it was fixed in an hour.

Re: New Owner with some questions

Hey,

Thanks guys!

I have attached a picture of the wheels, they are all immaculate with no marks on at all. what do you think? the front tyres were changed 500 miles ago so are mint and the back tyres have probably 95% of teh tread left.

Cheers

New Owner with some questions

Hey, I have just picked up a 2010 2.0 TFSi GT in white with 70k on the clock and was after some advice; Is there anything I should be looking out for regarding drivetrain? I purchased it from a used car dealer and so don't really know much about the history of the vehicle, its had the wheels changed...
