I have a 2013 6R GTI with 55k on the clock.
I’ve had it 3 months and it has so far shown all the common symptoms that people complain about on this forum.
I’ve had to put oil in it after less than 5000ks. The gearbox sometimes shudders on pullaway at low revs. The idle is erratic especially when warm and most recently it’s been missing and juddering at low speeds and heavy traffic. The yellow Cat light came on yesterday so I took it back to my dealer to check it out. Fortunately it’s still under stat warranty but he has said that it may need to go to VW and they are aware of issues with this engine.
So my question is. Does anyone have this car and live with it day to day problem free or is it just a lemon I should get rid off ASAP?
Ps I have read the sticky thread from Gavs i just wish I’d read it before I bought the car.
Thanks in advance.
