Sadly, I've only had the car for 4 months and its been a complete disaster. This was my third new Golf. Prior to this I had two Gen 5s.
I've only done 3200kms in it. Luckily, I got a good trade in value which meant the jump to a $40 000 car wasn't too bad. I thought it best to bail now while it was worth a decent amount of money.
I've gone for a Japanese Zoom Zoom car this time.Comment

My dealership called me this morning regarding the new vehicle experiences etc. I asked him about this squeal noise, he said that what he got from VW was normal noise and we don't actually need to worry about it (same as a lot people got from their dealer). However, he mentioned that VW is working on it and trying to replace some new parts between supercharger and water pump. He also mentioned that some vehicles do not have such noise and some do. But I think the noise will come to mine in one day.......
So, apparently what we need to do is waiting for the solution from VW. They have to come out some fix, otherwise no one will buy 118TSI in the future anymore.Platin Grey Skoda Octavia Scout PremiumComment

VW have informed the dealers not to lubricate the supercharger/waterpump clutch for fear of what it may do to the friction lining of the clutchOriginally posted by MIRSAD View PostComment

I am going to ask them just to clean it (if some of lubricant is left) and definitely not to lubricate it.

Mirsad I know what you mean. I saw no option other than to sell my car. I took a financial hit but it was worth it. VW wouldn't help and there's no way I would ever give them another cent of my money.
I couldn't put up with the inconvenience any longer, nor could I take a risk with the brakes on my car. To this day VW has refused to put in writing that the brakes are safe. Doesn't fill me with confidence. I'm also pretty certain that the DSG is failing again too. The back doors leak water too and this is a result of them removing the doors. Complete disaster.
I wish you all the best with your car and I hope that you have a happy outcome.Comment

Fix for squeal not far away
From looking at German forums a fix may not be far away, a modified supercharger clutch assembly

I've got a little bit of this squeal noise (on and off) but its not very obvious so dont usually notice it unless its very quiet. Only seem to get it when im in "D".
Not sure if any of you guys experience this but when i put the DSG in "S" when accelerating it sounds all good, but when I take my foot off the accelerator, and the RPM starts to reduce, there is a softish screeching noise (its separate from the down rev of the engine, as you can hear the sound come on top of the engine noise). Happens from >3k rpm down to about 2k rpm, 3rd/4th/5th gear.
Sounds like its maybe the supercharger?Volkswagen Golf MK7 R Wagon Wolfsburg Edition Lapiz BlueComment

I just called up the workshop to see if they could fix this while they were fixing my other engine issues (see separate thread on 118TSI blow up). It was interesting that they told me the same thing that they've seen VW paperwork go through discussing that they are working on a solution to replace the parts Ox has mentioned.Originally posted by ox518 View Post
Still no timetable, but it's more information than I've heard previously and it's good to hear this again from someone at VW.Skoda Octavia Mk3

Hi CKTSI
About Your thread - rattling noise - IS IT RELATED TO YOUR CURRENT PROBLEM WITH ENGINE
In my case I am not sure is it rattling noise ... it is difficult to describe noise (especially for me... English is not my first language)
In my case it sounds like ta…ta…ta like tractor, or 2 stroke engine – just for a few seconds when you accelerate just slightly faster from standing (or constant slow driving) position.
It happened 7 - 8 times in 6 months.
Ones...
I stopped (it was just a few degree up hill) and when I accelerated (slightly faster ... not more than 4000 rpm) the noise was so laud and disturbing that I stopped after few hundred meters to see is my exhaust system still there.
In that few seconds it sounded like I was dragging my exhaust sys. or some metal pot on cobblestone.
Otherwise it is not so laud only disturbing and embarrassing
Same thing I couldn't reproduce it when I was visiting dealer
DO YOU (OR ANYBODY ELSE) HAVE NAY MORE INFORMATION
Was that noise related to Your other problems (that You are talking in this thread)
Good Luck with Your carsigpic MY16 GTI 40Comment

No, I don't think it's a compression issue. The vibration noise was specifically at rpm less than 1,400 rpm and going on any uphill gradient (slight or otherwise)Originally posted by MIRSAD View PostSkoda Octavia Mk3
