Cars going in Wednesday, fingers crossed it gets fixed  :smiley:


Still vibrating and whining like hell and feels like it doesnt pull lower down the rev range, no wheel spin anyway when I hooof it, which is odd.

Fan is still going strong every 5 minutes.

Car went in today and got a call about an hour after saying they have to keep it in for 2-3 weeks as the parts are on back order and my ca is in pieces  :sad:

Its a motor to do with the fan and they need to strip it down to see what make it is...hope that stops the whining and the fan coming on, if not its getting dumped there until its sorted.


I have my Dads car for just over a week as hes on holiday but they wont lend me a car from VW as I have a ban against my license even though they lent me a car last time  :confused:

Seriously considering selling up, just had too many problems with this one, more than I did with my Vauxhall. Just cant think of a worthy replacement.

Really disappointed  :sad:


Been avoiding driving it aswel because it annoys me so much and to have to wait a further 2+ weeks is just a kick in the balls.

I feel your pain fella...a similar series of events happened with my previous car. I just got rid of it in the end - however there were other reasons for that decision too.

I'd see how the ED30 feels once its been repaired. If all the problems get sorted then you will have a brilliant car  :happy2:
