2011 golf/jetta TDi highline wagon
Just purchased a 2011 Golf Highline Wagon TDI
Have had lots of gliches so far.
Dash lights flashing/flickering at high speed.
Engine cuts out for a micro second with no error codes.
Drivers window used to go one touch down one touch up but not anymore.
Foot well lights stay on dim when dash lights are flashing.
Front right window leaks.
Windshield wipers move when I turn the engine off.
VW has no answers/explanations to most of the above.
Not impressed.
Oh yes, road noise.
I don’t know if its the tires or chassis feedback but road noise is definately a problem.
I too am having a hard time with the radio control volume and cell phone control volume.
Sometimes there is a wind whistle on the hightway.
At first I thought it was the turbo but don’t think so.

Sounds like it could be lemon-y. If it's brand new, take it back to your local dealer (the Canadian dealers are generally not as crappy as the American ones) and have them fix all the problems you're experiencing. My brother lives in Ontario and got a lemon 2005 Jetta TDI. VW ended up eventually buying it back from him. Good luck.

My wiper blades do that too. I'm pretty sure they are designed to reposition to avoid constant pressure on one side. Minor from the list, but that probably can come off. Tires are also likely other road issue. Mine are terrible - Bridgestone Turenza EL400s.
