Hi Dylan1988,

I was somewhat lucky, my GTI engine only required replacement of valves, cyl. head, timing case, chain, tensioner and some other bits.

The repair was done at the dealers service...

Unfortunately I did not contact VWA.
It was after I had arranged with the dealer to do the repair that I found out about the issue with the Timing Chain Tensioner in these post as well as other...

Just got my GTI back from the dealership service department. It has set me back over $5200.
It is interesting that when I mentioned that the timing chain tensioner failure is a known problem with...

Wish I had of checked this thread earlier. My 01/2010 GTI has just experienced a massive engine failure due to a tensioner failure.
The dealer has indicated that it will cost me about $4000-5000 to...

Yep, still go mine. Jan 2010 Build. 75,000 km.
Only ever had to replace the battery and two front tyers.
Best car ever.:banana:

The Sub salesman is just spinning FUD.

I've had my GTI since mid March and have experienced temps from high 30's to below zero in that time.
I was initially worried that the leather seats I...

The engine is a December 2009 build and the build plate in the boot does say January 2010.

I don't really care about the engine being a 2009 build. It still goes like all crap!

It must be the sunroof. I ordered my GTI on 27 October specifying the same "2010 Build" and as you can see below, very similar specs.

I took delivery 12 March.

You sure did get bumped to the...

Nic, you forgot to add "again". Second time lucky.

Hope you never see another hail storm.

Post some pics when you can.

After customs I was told it goes to Patricks to be Australianised with child restraints etc.

This is very interesting.
When I pick up my GTI I asked for the maps disk and was told that they would check.
I was then told that because the RNS510 was a factory install that no disks are...

Found this on Youtube.

Hi Pauly, how long will depend on which route the ship takes. I have seen where ships come via the Panama Canal or via Cape of Good Hope.

Mine left BREMERHAVEN GERMANY on 17/01/2010
...

Following the delivery of my GTI two weeks ago the only disappointment I have with it is the Navigation system including the maps and guidence instructions.

I had an early version of TomTom on my...

Thanks for that info hannson.

I have just had word from the dealer that they have found the problem with my GTI. It turns out that there was a short in the camera wiring.
Problem is now fixed.
...

Just had a quick look in the schedule, the Tombarra is due in Brisbane 07/05/2010.
Allow another two weeks and all going well you can REALLY :banana: get excited around 21st May.

The wait is...

Couldn't agree more.:banana:

It was factory fit. I discovered it while doing a delivery check. The salesman took it around to the service guys and they have trold me that it is a problem with the code. They have also said that...

Congrats. I know the feeling, the final relief.

How did you manage to get out of it to post or are you still sitting in it and using a loptop??:P

Has anyone had a problem with the Reverse Camera not displating in the RSN510?

Is there an VAGCOM update to correct the problem?
:confused:

Red was my second choice but they didn't have blue.

Now that I have it I now love the colour and the fact that so few like it that means it won't be so "common":P

When I picked up my GTI last week I asked for the salesman to show me Reverse Camera. The camera didn't work.

Apparently there is a known fault with the coding that they updated where by the...

McGrath Sutherland.

Took delivery on Friday. What a car!
I can't get over the performance.:banana:
It has been along wait but boy is it worth it. Just can't wipe the grin off of my face.:-D
To all of you who are...

That sounds more like it.
Thanks Dermit
