i bought the car from yorkshire and i live in london but have been in touch, they offered to give me my money back on the car if i wanted.
to get the same spec car i have from VW is around 14.5k / 15k which is money i dont have.
i paid 13k
car specs:
DSG
electric sunroof
xenons
electric seat
parking sensor
5 door
6 cd disc changer
multi function steering wheel
color coded bumbers
problem was when i took it to a local VW garage they couldnt find a problem with the car, they ran diagnostics and couldnt find anything so there wasnt much i could go to the dealer i bought the car from with....
once i find the full scale of the problem i will be contacting them asking for money towards the repairs i have had to pay for even though the car is under warranty...

I understand your quandry now, hopefully you will get to the bottom of this soon and with the minimum amount of outlay! :happy2:

Glass guide says i should get 13100 px with my extras; maybe i should try and px it for an ED30 and pay 4k off over 5 years...
found a couple of nice ones for about 17k from VW
only worth it if i got what i paid for it px and am guessing thats unlikley..

Right Duncan. :rolleye:
Here is my advice
First off go back to the company you bought the car off, and kindly ask them will they honor the deal they offered you of giving you your money back, tell them you would like to persevere with fixing the car but you need to set a time limit on it as you cant go one throwing money and time at it.
once you have that to fall back on get back to sorting this car. Stop buying bits for it and dont buy a re- map just get the standard car back to good health. As John - o has said if you add bits without finding out the problem it will make it harder to trace and could exasperate the problem.
Even if you need to give it back and get a new car, a few more weeks of reading on here will change your knowledge of what to look out for and what to avoid. Hope this helps :smiley:

thats good advice.
when i was at the rolling road today they put the car back to stock ECU settings and that came out rich but was running at 195bhp which is pretty close to standard.
was thinking getting the remap was actually a good form of diagnostics as when the car is being pushed more its revewaling the weaknesses, if that makes sense....
am going to phone the garage i bought the car from tomorrow and have another chat with them.
otherwise may consider pxing it and getting an ED30...
big difference between insurance on a GTI vs ED30?
