Also happened to me last summer - started to hear a knocking sound from under the car, which I sorted out using a couple of jubilee clips to secure the pipe back in place. Took it for its service today and the VW dealers highlighted it as something that will need replacing (along with the cat, and t...

Just had mine done whilst it was in for its annual service. I think this is really bad - my car is hardly high mileage! 1. Symptoms encountered - Occassional belt rubbing/squealing sound from engine. 2. How/Who diagnosed the problem - Diagnosed during my VW Service 3. Any damage or injury sustained ...

Hi m8 - I starting having real probs with 1st gear and reverse a few months after having the pedal box done. I'm now the proud owner of a new clutch! Couldn't convince dealers that there was a link between the work on the pedal box and subsequent gear change problems. There are a few ppl on here who...

After being quoted £800 to replace the compressor and £200+ to replace the radiator fan, I asked the dealers to re-diagnose....which they did. Their second opinion was that I do not need to replace the compressor......just the radiator fan. I am not pleased with VW, who presemably would have fleec...
