Re: GTI+ misfire

Just received a photo of the plugs from the dealer. They look to me like something that has been subjected to the wet weather. How does a plug get into this state when it's in a cylinder head?

Thanks

Re: GTI+ misfire

Thanks for the link to the T&C'S. I suspected a get out clause like that. The car has covered 38,000 miles, I’m not aware of plugs having been changed. I would have thought the bead of silicone grease applied to the inside circumference of the sealing hose of the coil pack would prevent any moisture ...

GTI+ misfire

Had my 2020 GTI recovered to the dealer last week for a bad misfire. I have an all in service plan so wasn't expecting a call to say fault diagnosed as cylinder 2 and 3 coil packs and plugs but not covered by warranty as they are corroded and would be £435 to sort out. Anyone heard of a claim being ...

I had this exact problem on two seperate occasions. Turned out to be coil packs and one associated plug with a strange colour.

Re: DSG servicing



My GTi+ is going in for a service mid November on 20,400 miles, the car will be 4 years old in January I asked for a DSG oil and filter change, they came back with a cost of £441.99 just for the DSG oil and filter change.
Price seems a bit high just for that.

Thanks

Re: Blower Resistor Location / Replacement

Had this happen yesterday, GTI+. Car is 2 years old first week January, not good enough really as this has been happening for years. Should have a heatsink on it or increase in wattage.

Re: Help! Rear wheel humming noise. Polo GTi

Booked my GTI+ in for a service next week and mentioned the rear brake noise when in reverse and was told it didn't affect my model.

Anyone got any offical VW paper work with TPI numbers i can direct the dealer to.
