Nightmare!!!
duncan:
have recently posted in the new members section - just bought a 2006 candy white GTI with WALD conversion
well.... picked it up on monday and have probably done about 600-700 miles in it.
today tried to start it - the engine turned over but didnt spark... is under warranty so phoned vw and they sent roadside assistence over.
wasnt fixed at the road side -
he recons the problem is the ignition coil which has melted the cables joining it (not sure if that makes sense or not)
to be fair though VW were good - the call out only took 20mins, already have the courtesy car sorted.
my local VW garage says that they should have an answer on monday so fingers crossed til then!
anyone else hand any similar problems on their GTI?
is it anything to worry about after its fixed?
duncan:
yep have had it confirmed that the car is 100% covered by the warranty!
so others have had this same problem? is it a reasonably easy fix?
would be great if i get the car back soon - dont have a bad replacement - is a TDI but is certainly no GTI

It is common on some GTI's....
But instead of no spark the car usually bursts into flames.... :happy2:
You got off lucky
Greeners:
Well you say common Mike :confused: but in all honesty there have only been a few cases that have been well documented :happy2:
