Purchased my first GTI used 11 months ago and it's been a mild headache ever since. i bought it with 38, 000km on it. It was in a supposedly minor accident (hit rear center while parked). I was told it was fixed(it looked fine to me).
first issue: water in spare tire area. turned out that the old vents were put back in after the accident when they did the repairs. also, the trunk seal had some gaps in it. got that all repaired and its fine now.
second issue: thermostat/coolant bypass valve needed replacing after only blowing cold air in the winter. covered under warranty but, was TD1 flagged because the previous owner had it tuned. i did not know this.
third issue: evap system failed and it's currently being repaired.
Fourth Issue: the rollover valve failed and they have to replace the fuel tank.
so, ive been debating just sucking it up and keeping the car but, part of me wants no part of it anymore even though i do love it.
decisions, decisions..sorry for the random rant.
