TSI squeal noise problem on acceleration

Sorry to hear about your car. How did you manage to get a new car out of your dealer? This was my third Golf and they wouldn't even answer an email.

Osborne Park Volkswagen, you suck!

I bought a Mazda and I tell you it doesn't make any unwelcome noises at all. Its as tight as a drum! The cabin is also very quite, and dare I say it, its quieter than the Golf! Maybe that's because it doesn't have a clunking gearbox, exhaust pipe falling off, rattling heat shield and a water pump and supercharger which is designed to chirp and belch every time you drive the car.

They replaced the DSG in my car and I believe it cost around $14 000. The new one was failing too in the last few days I had the car . It decided it liked to slip into neutral as you were reversing or moving forward. Thankfully it didn't happen on the freeway!! Not to mention the hassles I had with the brakes and ticking window frames.... This car totally missed quality control...

My 118TSI was a complete and utter disaster. I will never touch a VW again. And I'm very pleased to say that I am certian I've talked more than a few people out of buying one and I'll keep on working at that after the way I was treated by VW.

Anyhow, good luck with your car.

I think you guys are being a little hard on VW... the gearbox is CUTTING EDGE TECH... of course its not going to be as reliable as a bog stock 6 speed or a simple slushbox. The japs have only just started selling cars with similar gearboxes.

Secondly, if you get a car that is a bit of a lemon it is likely that it will have multiple problems. The systems are all connected and who knows what happened on that day. Maybe the machine that screws a certain type of bolt in was not working to spec and so 20 bolts are a little loose on the key mechanical bits causing failures.

I have seen people have engines and gearbox's pop left and right on some jap cars while others dished out endless abuse and nothing broke.

If you want cutting edge tech stick with german drivetrains.

Most jap cars just have powerful engines because they just have bigger turbo ratios and more capacity than VW motors, they are not that smart technically and they usually whack a simple manual behind the powerful ones. Only now are the EVO's and GTR's catching up to VW Tech.
