I got told South Africa the day I bought it and I know that's rubbish for the GTI! Seems dealers are as clueless as ever with there knowledge of where the cars are built!

All 3 & 5 door 6C Blue GTs, Bluemotion, R-Line should be too.
Other 5 door models e.g. SELs are usually made in South Africa, but can be made in Spain too.
You can check your own car by noting the 11th digit of your VIN, which is the VW plant code.
Y = Spain
U = South Africa

Has anyone had any look with this issue and had it fixed. I saw a white one last week on the Isle of Wight not many over here yet.
Might have been me on the Isle of Wight in my Oryx White? Or more likely my Mrs... Depends if the car you saw was being kerbed to oblivion or not at the time

Yes. People waiting will definitely not be disappointed. Best decision to trade the 1.2 tsi r line polo in for the 1.8 tsi beasty. Still in love

My car shat itself this morning, I started it up, reversed out of my drive, started to lift the clutch, just as it was fully released there was a massive clunk, the revs dropped and the engine stuttered, revs down to about 300 then all over the place and then stalled, stop start obviously tried to restart the engine, nothing, engine management light came on and asked me to manually start the car, tried it and it took about 5 seconds to turn over before it hit 200rpm and then it died and wouldnt start
it's now at VW who believe the timing chain has jumped which to me most probably means a ruined engine. Joy. Just hit 3000 miles.
