Ouch! Fortunately, not too severe, so a straightforward repair. Typical cost is around £75-£80 plus VAT for diamond cut refurb.d7lan wrote: Kerbstone 1 - 0 Alloy

Re: New GTI
I'm going to talk it up now Andy, but so far I've been lucky as far as interior trim creaks and rattles are concerned. I had the creaking door seals (had this on my mk6 Golf too); cured by applying Gummi Pflege. I also had the brake squeal, which stopped after the first few weeks, but the interior has been silent.Andy4791 wrote:Mentioned b4 but its driving me mad now lol, the gloss black touch screen surround, and around heater/blower controls seems to creak/rattle more and more. U can hear it do it just by pressing the soft touch material near it. Anybody had this or had dealer try fix it.
If you do get the dealer to try and fix it, I'd make sure you get them to agree the trim is unmarked and undamaged before they start removing it in case they damage it and then deny doing it (it does happen - aware of instances on some of the mk6 Golf forums in the past). Have you thought of getting a trim removal tool and removing / re-fitting the trim yourself? Don't know how straightforward it is to remove the trim with the proper tool, but might be an option worth considering.

Re: New GTI
Yeah I know they cud damage it, and not even cure it. Its a shame as waited ages for the car, bought it thinking I'd b going up in quality from my Ford Fiesta but its far worse than that for rattles etc, bit disappointing to say the least.

Re: New GTI
Hi Andres
If you go to the awesomegti website the springs are there
Not sure if they will post to Mexico but it's worth a try
The ones I used are the vwracing springs for the polo 6r
Hope this helps

Re: New GTI
Is a shame as you waited so long. Mine has been fine so far touch wood. I'd go back to the dealers. I came from a Fiesta (not a ST) and I felt it was a step up apart from a lack of a heated windscreen!Andy4791 wrote:Yeah I know they cud damage it, and not even cure it.

Saw you on my drive home last night mate (going towards Copthorne). My other half was driving otherwise I'd have given a quick beep/flash. Those wheels look brilliant.GeorgeS78 wrote:Here's a better pic of her guys

Would you be able to point me in the direction of where you got your wind deflectors? I realised the passenger seatbelt makes a lovely slapping noise when you get to 60 with the windows down.. joy!

Ahh I thought I recognised the reg on the car, was gonna wave as I went past. Thanks, they're a pain to keep clean. Here's a link for the wind deflectors http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Wind-Deflecto ...

Re: New GTI
I've got rattles coming from the glovebox/footwell and drivers side a-pillar.. Anyone else? It's been in to Colchester and Ipswich VW and both have heard the rattles, attempted to fix but now say they are as expected from a GTI. Seems like b/s to me. Maybe I'm just being pedantic..

Re: New GTI
Expected, that's nice lol. Admittedly a car with firmer suspension will get a few creaks an rattles over its like but think the build quality should still make pretty rattle free. I too get the A pillar one, and another reared it head in the instrument binnacle area. Your experience with dealer puts me off trying to get them to sort plus its a bloody hassle. May just turn the stereo up lol. Shouldn't have to tho

Re: New GTI
I think that if you are not happy with the car there can't be any harm going back to the dealers and asking them to fix it. VW built its reputation on build quality so there is no excuses. There seem to be people on this forum who have no problems and others that do and that is reason enough to go back to the dealers.Andy4791 wrote:Expected, that's nice lol.

I am still having a mid life crisis about my car. There are no problems but it wasn't my first choice which was vetoed by my better half. I still hanker after an ST to some degree but equally don't want to waste my or a dealers time in test driving another to make a comparison and then walk away. I just like cars that are very engaging to drive. The logical answer is the Polo is a better all round bet because it is a little faster, has a better interior, mine has five doors and isn't materially less fun to drive. However I would be interested to know how ex ST owners feel and whether any would go back to the ST.

Re: New GTI
I know where ur coming from m8, do miss the handling of my Zetec S fiesta at times as think Ford just hit that sweet spot, ST for me was too firm as a daily driver
