You keep saying that, but they will NOT do it out of warranty at all. I asked and even got a letter from Head Office in Milton Keynes, straight from the horses mouth. It takes them a day, and they cannot justify that cost unless its a safety issue. Which I argue it is: if its a safety issue on the G...

The official line is this: If you have a GTi they will add a weld to the clutch support. If you have any other car and it fails in the warranty period they might change it under warranty. Safety or no safety, they will not change it under any other circumstances unless you pay. Ranging from 290 > 40...

Usually they just get louder. But in some c...
