Lets hope VW warranty service is better than BMW. Took car in yesterday for some warranty investigation: 1. Cooling/hybrid fans making a bearing/generator type noise when driven on electric for a while or after a long journey 2. Boot doesn't always shut properly and more often than not bounces back up 3. Engine surging when swapping between electric drive and petrol as if the clutch isn't fully engaged meaning a split second of free revving and no acceleration which is very disconcerting when trying to make a quick pull away 4. Tail pipes totally corroded They had the car at 8am yesterday and they have just phoned me: 1. Unable to replicate the issues - coolant levels check on both engine and electric motors - all ok 2. Boot operation is fine, there is a box in the boot which could be obstructing 3. This is normal operation with the torque vectoring of the drive from one to another 4. Tailpipes are dirty - needs cleaning with metal polish My response 1. I have a video of this which I can email over - Car hasn't even been driven, charged up or taken off site to test (have checked on BMW connected app to see if car has moved or been charged) 2. Box being in boot has no relevance to boot lid operation, doesn't impede on the lid whatsover and does it when it isn't in boot 3. So a normal operation makes the car dangerous to drive when the battery level is depleted? 4. The pipes are clean, I cleaned it Sunday afternoon and have put countless different products on it to clean it - they are corroded simple as that. So they now have the video and I am awaiting a call back!

Hey. I purchased a mk6 tsi 160 5 door as a family car 1 month ago and I absolutely love it. I have an 07 Red 335d se e90 with 65k on it. I put it up for sale earlier today. I fancy getting a golf R for my own short daily commute to work. Anyone else made the same change? I only do short miles so mpg isn't an issue for me now and I have an itch to get golf again. I've had numerous tdi golfs over the years so a petrol will be a nice change. Cheers
