TSI Owners...any issues yet ?

[iwannagofast]

2008.5 6MT 45k Miles. Stage 1 for 25K miles. Oil Changes every 6K miles, no problems with the clutch. The only thing worth mentioning is the damn subframe clunking. Easy fix by the dealer during next oil change though.

Also, i've been averaging 26 mpg in between oil changes.

2009 TSI, manual with 9K and no issues at all to report!

I got an 09 tsi and the only problem I had was a pretty big one. At 4000 miles had an ecu failure. I was out of a car for 3 weeks. But that is just one of those rare random things that happen with new cars. Other than that got 10k now with some minor mods and no problems at all.

all i have really heard was the waterpump's going.....less of a list than the shit that goes bad on the fsi.

I had the DSG flash of death at about 4,000 miles(?). Nothing else besides that and I'm at almost 14,000 miles now.

So, I basically shot myself in the leg by starting this post.

Went out to meet some friends and about 4 miles from the house I get my first CEL.

Will VAG-COM it tomorrow at a friends. Anyone want to take a guess ?

With a build date of 10/08 is it likely that my car has the G diverter valve ?

If I take it to the dealer will they replace it with the D valve or would I be better off doing it on my own ?

my car was built 10/08 as well, but is clearly better. UG FTW!!!

PS, I have nothing helpful to add.

No MKV GTI has ever come from the factory with the D valve, and I don't even think MKVI's get it. The ETKA will show the G valve, so that's what they'll replace it with. The D valve only comes in the EOS I think?

FWIW, I'm at 18k in my 2009. Stg I APR since 1k; Carbonio around 5k; AWE dp around 10k; 0w-30 German Castrol every 5k; no problems.

I've got the intake manifold flapper code. Checked it via VAG COM and left the code for when I go into the dealer.

I hope they just replace the manifold instead of trying to reset the sensor.

09 2-door with 21k, first time to the dealer they had to replace the passenger seat sliders because the seat got stuck and wouldn't go anywhere. Subframe clunking noise which the dealer only adjusts the subframe bolts (they are going to keep streching until they snap) I have to replace them with passat/audi bolts and the shims. Oh, and it happened twice this week, the ABS, BRAKE and Traction Control lights went crazy, fisrt when I had to slam the brakes because an asshole thought he could make a U turn where he's no supposed to, and the second time I just went through and uneven road (nothing bad) and after three beps everything lighted up, I still have to go to the dealer for that, maybe an ABS sensor? who knows LOL

23k i needed a new intake manifold...replaced with warranty. Also for the people who had bad turbo and transmission can that be covered by warranty?

GTI: 37500 miles on my '09 (Bought Nov. '08) Stage 2 most of its life.

-Stock Clutch slipping horribly and replaced with a SB Stage 3, chatters a lot.
-Issues with shift linkage, lost all gears but 3rd and 4th. (Wouldn't warranty)
-Subframe bolts clunk because I'm lowered on H&R SuperSports.


Overall I am happy with my car and it has never left me stranded anywhere *knock on wood*. Should be replacing it early next year with a 2011 STi Sedan, but she'll be missed.

35,000 miles - Intake flap motor failed hardcore down at Waterfest.

Replaced under warranty. Woulda cost a fuck load if I had to pay for it. I think it was $1,100 for the part alone on ECS Tuning.
