Hi All.
Thought i would most a thread about my new addition, have bought a 2008 Golf GT Sport. We have had a MK3 since new and been very happy with it for last 12 years, so decided it was time to upgrade , (but will keep the MK3 aswell). Got the car from a dealer which has done around 30k kms, leather, tinted windows and bluetooth are the extras on it.
Am very impressed with the car and find the 1.4 TSI engine to be quite amazing, so much torque for this engine.
Also very impressed with the DSG, however after having the car for a week or so was convinced there was something not quite right with it, especially on take off, it jerked and bunny hopped, other that this it is perfect. After lots of searching etc i found that this issue is reported by many others.
Took car back to dealer and asked them to check it out, they said that most likely the mechatronics was gone and they had sent some report to VW. They said 90% that VW would approve it to be replaced under warranty. Since then they have called back and said that VW has approved and the parts are on order.
Cant wait for this to get fixed as it is very painful to drive in traffic, managed to stall the engine today at a set of lights.
Any way i will give an update after it has been replaced and hopefully all will be good.
