Just had a very irritating experience with my CPO TDI Golf (52,000 miles or so)
Previously I had the radio Bluetooth bug fixed, then the air conditioner solenoid, now...
Was driving and the following lit up;
ABS/Airbag/tire pressure/stability/steering wheel, all yellow, tire pressure and steering wheel were flashing, then went solid, then steering wheel extinguished
Called the dealer, they said it was safe to drive in, I’m now in the lounge, fuming with anger, my bloody MkV Rabbit never Christmas treed on me, even with it’s minor cosmetic issues, it’s been more reliable than the bloody TDI!
Don’t get me wrong, I love how the TDI drives, and love the fuel mileage, I’m just getting pissed about it’s poor reliability so far, I’m second guessing my purchase now, if the bloody Toyota’s weren’t so soulless and boring, I’d likely have considered one of them, but I’m not willing to give up driving enjoyment
If only the Honda Fit wasn’t so bloody anemic....
Oh well, I’ll tough it out for now, but if it keeps being unreliable, I may end up trading out of it...
