Thanks for the insights lucas, I can get a Geba version from VAG autoparts for about $685, but I reckon I can find one for more like $300 if I keep looking. cheers.

Hi all, coolant leak probably means I'm up for my 3rd waterpump in 4 years. I think the last 2 were aftermarket. Has anyone had any success with finding a waterpump that lasts the distance? I hear...
Just an update here, we've had another test drive with the diagnostic computer attached, and found the misfire has cleared with the new sparkplugs installed and the petrol smell has stopped. ...
Thanks for that, I should update my profile. I'm actually up in NSW now. But thanks for the offer. I'll pass on the suggestion to my mechanic and see what he reckons.
Hi all - hoping you can help diagnose what VW cannot. I had the engine light come on in my GTI (147,000kms), combined with coolant leak that I took in for repairs. Had the water pump replaced and...
Turns out I also have a coolant leak going on, I'm wondering if its related to the supercharger pulley given its also the waterpump....

thanks george - I'll be sure to ask. Its just hit 100,000 KMs on the clock, so don't know where that fits in their expected failure timeframe for transmissions, but I'll have a go. dropping it in...
thanks for the information. sounds like there's many others with a similar issue. Mine hasn't failed yet, but that thread sounded like its going to drop its transmission anytime. The fault readout...
Hi - I have been to my mechanic who has recorded a fault on my 2013 polo GTI. It reads: hydraulic pump - play protection. Is this likely to be a fault in the main transmission or the mechatronics...
I have a 2013 polo GTI. recently started slipping in 1st / 2nd gear. Mechanic says its the start of the transmission dying. Its done 99000 kms and will probably only go about another 40k before a...
Hi Have a MY13 model GTI, been using 1 litre of oil per 1800kms or there abouts for the last 4 years. It would seem Castrol has done very well out of all this. I do wonder, with all the goings on...
