don't worry, there are a lot of us!

well its back in again, this time to have the rear screen as two of the heating elements (right in my line of sight) don't work, & haven't done since I got it but obviously I only noticed once the weather got colder & darker.

they spouted something about they can't just touch up the paint on it as they wouldn't be able to replace it fully later on as a warranty claim so it has to be a full new one, which i don't mind but... surprise surprise its on back order! so I might be waiting a while

oh & the courtesy car this time was a petrol polo which had abit more poke than the diesel version (as expected) but tonnes of body roll & what felt like a very high centre of gravity, oh & a handbrake with lots of play again.
the previous person had kindly left it already on the redline of the fuel tank but as I only had to go a 3 miles up the road & back to work I managed to not put any in teehee

rear screen was replaced last week, first opportunity to check it a different heating element doesn't work, not quite in my line of sight but still annoying. dealer is putting a tech report into MK to see what to do now as the screen is very likely on back order still, stand by for an update later...

oh & i've got the hamster squeek too but i solve that by turning the radio up or changing gear at a different time for now.

update: second new rear screen, more than likely, here i come!

my rear screen has two faulty heater elements in the middle off the screen, needs booking in at dealers, common fault?

[trix]

think i'm the only other one with the problem so far alymac.. unless anyone else speaks up now (or forever holds their peace..)

second new rear screen here I come! (they had the sense to check all the earths etc for the rear screen this time & its definitely a small break in the element rather than my car

2nd rear screen went in yesterday, i stood hhuuurring on it in the carpark to check it worked & have put it on on the way home tonight & yes it is fixed!! (& the garage have learnt to put my car on the end of a row with lots of space away form everyone else )

Bringing up an old post but oh well.

The 180PS and 150PS 1.4TSI engines found in the Ibiza range have also got the squeaking problem. A Seat Tech owns a Boc like mine had this issue and fitted the new designed pump. it was fine for a while but has just started again. He's on 11k miles now. Not sure when it was changed.

Any developments at the VW end?

[trix]

the squeek hasn't been resolved by vw yet, they have got another redesign on the table but no definite fix BUT a few of us have found it does disappear of its own accord after a while mine certainly has & I believe RW1's has too

Mine doesn't seem to be doing it ATM come to think of it.. haha strange.

I noticed it a few months back. There were people talking about it on a forum so thought and come and have a look if you guys had been suffering.

I'll keep an eye on it.

Cheers
