Needless to say I haven’t bought another VW since.

My car had other problems too, notwithstandinding it was bought brand new via a factory order with a six month plus wait. This appeared to fix the problem but I didn’t own the car for long after that. Over the nine visits they replaced almost the entire fuel system, before the head office tech also requested them to change a low pressure fuel sensor. In my case the engine would turn off, it occurred at a range of speeds, fast and slow. I suffered a problem on a MK5 2005 GTI where the car cut out 9 times before Chatswood Classic threw there hands up and had a head office technician check out my car.

The girl who was involved in the accident was driving a manual golf….it’s also worth noting that no mechanical fault was found with the vehicle by investigators. taken it to 2 separate dealers and none have been able to fix the issue. Limp mode has kicked in 5 times on a 2012 Polo. My new B Class is DSG no such problems and yes there is a slight hesitation but nothing like VW/Audi where your could boil an egg in the given time Keep up the good fight for us long suffering Golf owners! It’s good to see VW are finally being held accountable for their poor product quality.įor reference, my Golf is a 1991 Mk II Golf GTI. I was constantly driving around with a puckered up arsehole, and my finger over the hazard light switch, waiting for the next time I’d suddenly lose all power and have to start praying nobody would hit me until my Golf came back to life. For example, a bunch of times I was driving along a busy arterial road doing 80-90km/h, or a Motorway doing 100km/h+, and upon squeezing the accelerator for a little more power to go up an incline, I’d lose all power for a few seconds and the car would slow down really fast.
In answer to your question – YES! This was happening last year to my Golf, a lot. Thanks Liam for giving long suffering Golf owners like myself a platform from which we can openly express our frustrations and be heard.

Another driver, who owned a 2008 Golf automatic, said she drove “in constant terror”. VW replaced the gearbox but the issue returned. It was frightening,” said Jean Lim, who was driving a 2007 Golf automatic that suddenly decelerated. “I did not feel safe driving a car like that.

The truck driver and Ms Ryan’s family believe her car dramatically and inexplicably slowed before the crash. Most of the issues reported on relate to Mk5 Golfs and centre around the 2011 death of 32-year-old Melissa Ryan on Melbourne’s Monash Freeway:Ī coroner this week investigated the death of Ms Ryan, who was killed when a prime mover with two trailers hit her Golf from behind.
