waaaa, what did you got for the replacement?
Have you traded in your golf? How much value left?

I've gone for a Japanese Zoom Zoom car this time.
My dealership called me this morning regarding the new vehicle experiences etc. I asked him about this squeal noise, he said that what he got from VW was normal noise and we don't actually need to worry about it (same as a lot people got from their dealer). However, he mentioned that VW is working on it and trying to replace some new parts between supercharger and water pump. He also mentioned that some vehicles do not have such noise and some do. But I think the noise will come to mine in one day.......
So, apparently what we need to do is waiting for the solution from VW. They have to come out some fix, otherwise no one will buy 118TSI in the future anymore.
VW have informed the dealers not to lubricate the supercharger/waterpump clutch for fear of what it may do to the friction lining of the clutchQuote:

I just don't know what to do my car
Mirsad I know what you mean. I saw no option other than to sell my car. I took a financial hit but it was worth it. VW wouldn't help and there's no way I would ever give them another cent of my money.
I couldn't put up with the inconvenience any longer, nor could I take a risk with the brakes on my car. To this day VW has refused to put in writing that the brakes are safe. Doesn't fill me with confidence. I'm also pretty certain that the DSG is failing again too. The back doors leak water too and this is a result of them removing the doors. Complete disaster.
I wish you all the best with your car and I hope that you have a happy outcome.
Has anyone with a 2007 GT 1.4 got this or is it only the newer mark 6 "made on mondays" that have this
I feel your pain guys, they just don't make them like my car anymore.
From looking at German forums a fix may not be far away, a modified supercharger clutch assembly

No noises apparent on my 08 GT Sport, though of course I had my very own wiring harness issue with my s/charger...Quote:
