Ken1 Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 I just noticed that the grey coating is flaking off the sunroof dial to reveal a black colour underneath. Anyone had similar problems? Back to stealer for a new one I think , a bit fussy but for €45k this shouldn't happen after 8,000KM's !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoomx3 Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 faidilah, it could be more than scratching...gouging being more like it? given that you've sent it in 4 times already, how many times have you dropped her off at the hairstylist, as a comparison?

peugeot6 Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 Hi, interesting that you guys seems to have quite a few niggles with your GTI's, which I assume are out of Germany. Ours ( ie South Pacific & Asia) are from South Africa which I would have thouhgt the quality would not habe been as good as the fatherland. I have had no niggles with mine at all, well so far after 3k. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faidilah Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 mine's out of South Africa too... same couple of things... a rattly door or two... the sun roof dial is just me being a fussy bugger... it's in for it's 5000k (think this is particular to singapore)... guy reckons this sort of stuff is exacerbated by the climate here i.e. hot and humid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] I have to say the SA build was one of those questions I tossed around before deciding to go with the GTI. I would have preferred a German build (like our Audi's) but the rest is history. I have to say apart from one rattle which as come, gone and returned (sadly) around the speaker grille on the top of the dash board I have to say the build is very good. I've done just over 5,000 pleasure filled, smile provoking km's. Let's hope it stays that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
