06 Black GTI

[Hannakournikova]

Been to VW about the rust and its a no go... Cars been painted in the past. 180 microns in places.

So ive organised getting it sorted myself...not ideal.

Wheels on hold till the new year! lol

That's worrying as my golf with slight bubbling also has paint reading of 180 all over :/

So have these in my watch list

Reading should be under 120 microns...

Ive had a previous car repaired by the same vw dealer so they are not messing me about, i could see once he pointed out a few bits that it has indeed been painted.

That's strange - all I had was the body shop manager have a look and even though I told him the rear boot handle rust I touched in myself with a paint pen he was still happy to replace wings and boot lid all for free...try a different VW garage by any chance? It can be a bit hit and miss and some will say the stupidest things to get out of doing the work

I'm in south wales and ive already had to travel from Cardiff to Swansea for that assessment as its the only VW bodyshop here...

Its nothing that cant be sorted without too much cost anyway.

He did say that they do approve temp repairs by the owner, or indeed documentation of a previous owner conducting a repair. I did neither so cant really force the issue.

Need some help...

Throwing codes 12600 and 08200. Both associated with the inlet flap system.

Done basic reset which did nothing but improve the idle a little...

Since throwing the codes i have a large hessitation at 2k revs, getting quite annoying!

I suspect carbon build up, but i wondered if anyone else had any experience of the same?

I bought a ram air panel filter and a replacement cam follower to cheer me up! haha!
