Hi I’m currentky experiencing the same issue. VW are quoting almost £1000 to fix this and having previously had the clutch release bearing fault 2 years ago priced at £1200 to repair, both being known defect parts and not due to wear and tear it’s safe to say I’m not happy one bit. I understand car...

I agree with the above that the 2.0 sounds like the best option for you. What I would say, as someone who has and is currently experiencing failures with my vehicle, is if you're after reliability please do some research into common faults beforehand so you can make a decision as to whether this is ...

Thanks BunnyJen, its not just the inlet manifold issue either. After that was sorted under warranty i had a water pump housing failure which apparently is another common issue. Had to pay for that one! For some reason they decided to make a water pump housing that is constantly going through cold t...

Hi bunneyjen was going to let this go, not now dealer said there was no good will coming from vw. going back to dealer for information code .will try direct with customer services.Personally they just hardmark..might drag on a bit as going on holidaynow. Sorry to hear you're having a hard time on t...

I'm currently in contact with customer services having written to both Alison Jones and Paul Willis. Additionally I have been directed to The Motor Ombudsman which I'll likely pursue. More than happy to team up with you on this if you wanted to, may give our case more leverage if we approached it as...

Is this the P2015 Fault? I'm currently experiencing this and am really unhappy about it given they have admitted to me it's a defect part and NOT down to wear and tear.

Getting the same problem with mine. After having the clutch release bearing issue too it's really made me lose faith in the reliability of these cars. VW are trying to charge me a grand to fix this despite verbally admitting to me in their own dealership that this is not my fault nor is it wear and ...

Woo! Glad to hear you got it sorted and didn't back down. It's well worth it in the end. Now you can get back to enjoying your car.

Seems weird if it's definitely making the exact same noise (hoot) as all the examples I sent you that it's something different. Know any mechanic friends that could come along with you to double check whilst the clutch is all out? I think it's pretty rubbish of them to make you pay the full amount g...

Well, £450 to remove and refit the gearbox.... Is it worth the gamble? On the off chance they may offer goodwill? I made sure they agreed to fix the issue with a contribution before they dropped the gear box. They know what it is, countless people have this problem. Have you tried recording the noi...

I was advised by a friend who works in a garage/repair workshop, and knew I wasn't going to them for the work, that the issue is not unsafe but that continuing without repairing it for a long period could cause it to worsen and potential further damage could occur to the gearbox casing. I'm not know...

Lots of info here, if it's the same issue of the release bearing. Normally that's the issue and they suggest a clutch kit replacement whilst they're there anyway: http://www.sciroccocentral.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=12225&hilit=clutch+squeal" onclick="window.open(this.href);r...

From working with motor insurance companies everyday, let me give you a word of advice; never go with Esure or Sheilas Wheels. The best to go for is Ageas or anything they underwrite (Tesco, John Lewis etc). I've seen Admiral mentioned above and I was with them for a few years and have no complaint...

Yeah the part itself isn't much. If it does go and you can fix it yourself I would definitely do that! The labor costs to repair it at a dealer are insane.

Only common issue I've seen with them is on the clutch release bearing. That's on older cars though, I think it was revised around 2012? So not an issue if you're buying a newer one.

Sorry to hear about your car.

Personally though I'd rather not have a car back that's been in a bump. I'd never really fully trust it again knowing that so I think you've got the best outcome of a horrific situation. Hope you get your new one soon!

Hmmm sounds about what I was expecting. Thanks.

Hi everyone. I did a search for this and found nothing so apologies if it has been brought up before. When booking my car in for a service I was offered an Emissions Control Service for an additional £24.99. I was told this improves MPG, and emissions and also improves the power when accelerating. A...

Do you not have any photos of the door before the car was taken away?

Also sorry to hear about the accident.
