Afternoon guys,
Bought my 2007 black 3dr GTI a few weeks ago, and since then it seems to be problem after problem. Need a GTI forum Hug
As mentioned in my "new member" post, I was sold the car under the impression that the cambelt and waterpump had been done at 50k, turns out it hadn't. So had that done this week at a nice sum of £455 (had major service done as well). After a good look around the car, Mr mechanic also noticed that my rear o/s brake was binding, turning out to be a seized caliper. So now im having new calipers, discs and pads across the rear, another £280.
Last night I went to move the car on to the drive and the HID kit installed on it blew, due to moisture getting in to the boxes. Another £50!
I have also noticed an annoying rattling in the cockpit when the cars idling, since the cam and waterpump work was carried out. Going to ask the garage to amend this as it wasnt a problem before the work was carried out.
I know these are small things, but just bloody annoying when you've already spent £9300 on a car and just want to enjoy it!
Blerrrghhhhh,
Rich.
