Recently purchased a used 2015 mk7 GTI to replace my faithful mk5 GTI that was totalled in a accident.
I had the car for one day and got a check engine light. I bought it at a dealership so back it went and i was told it was only a camshaft position sensor. A week or two later the car stalled with the clutch engaged while rolling up to a stop light. When I restarted it I had the check engine light again. They fixed it and said it was the other camshaft position sensor. Now it's a month later and the car stalled and gave another check engine light one afternoon and the next morning otw to the dealer. They said they fixed the original issue but found another issue with my 'airbox' that they needed to wait for parts to come in to fix. Three days later I find out they are going to replace the camshaft and it will be another few days before I get the car back.
TL;DR Basically, has anyone else had camshaft issues with this low of milage and is this a sure sign that I should get out of this car asap? I drive a decent amount of miles per year and this is my only DD. I am still on factory warranty, then I have CPO warrenty that I extended, so that's a factor too.
