You have been very unlucky there mate to say the least, so not surprised the car is going back to VW. I think Edi30 would have paid a supplement as there would be a significant price difference, but I am sure he can provide the info. Better luck with your next car anyway!POLOGTI2011 wrote:Edi30 ! Did you have to pay more towards the 35 edition? Or did vw cough up, as im not having mine back due to the faults and I can make a decison on what to have next...

Re: Using Oil!
Maybe, have to wait to hear from him! Ive been offerd a brand new normal gti golf, polo gti or scirocco gt model :/ May try to get the 35 edition if possible as it's standard with leather and xenons!
Re: Using Oil!
My guess is that you have ruled out the Polo They asking you to pay a supplement for the Golf/Scirocco or is this VW's goodwill? I do also own a Scirocco and it is a very fine car, the Edition 35 sounds fantastic! Good luck anyway.POLOGTI2011 wrote:Maybe, have to wait to hear from him!

Mines booked in for replacement scrapers/rings at least this sounds like they solve the problem

Yes, my oil consumption appears normal now after I had the scraper/ring upgrade. Hopefully you'll find the same.

Re: Using Oil!
I decided to hand it back and walk away until the ED35 turns up, so I have got my money back and will pay for the ED35 when it arrives. VW have not offered to put anything towards the ED35 but I am happy as I am not out of pocket and I know I will get a deal on the ED35. Go for it it will be an awesome motor plus it has loads of standard kit such as leather, Xenons,18's, winter pack and Bluetooth, nicer front and side skirts and darker rear windows. The extras over a STD GTI are over £4k and with the extra power this will be the best GTI yet. Good luck with your choice.POLOGTI2011 wrote:Maybe, have to wait to hear from him!

Re: Using Oil!
Update!!
My car is still at VW and has been since the 26th september. It seems to be a never ending issue. I think i may go down tomorrow and speak to the Dealer Principal and try and get this sorted.

Re: Using Oil!
Yes, that is bad. Why are they holding it for so long? Waiting for parts? Think you do need to go down there and apply some pressure. Not good.big_amir wrote:Update!!

Re: Using Oil!
My Car had the new rings installed 2nd week of July. Unfortunately it did not resolve the issue. so it can't be a part issue. Don't know why its taking so long.skipster wrote:Yes, that is bad.

Re: Using Oil!
I think the first demonstrators should be out around December or January as the dealers could order them in early September. I ordered the 19" Glendale optional wheels for minePOLOGTI2011 wrote:Aghh I see!

Re: Using Oil!
I would be straight down there asking what is going on and have a look at the car. I also suggest you reject it and get a replacement if you really want another as you should not have to put up with this hassle with a new car.big_amir wrote:My Car had the new rings installed 2nd week of July.

Re: Using Oil!
Have been driving the car hard at times since having ring/scraper upgrade. Car has covered about 1100 and the oil level has dropped from 3/4 to around 1/4 full on the hatched area.
