Superchargers inherently have a whine/chirp. Know what you’re buying before you buy it.

Don’t buy the golf 118 tsi
I have had it tweeting for almost a year now and vw, tell me there is a fix…. Then there is no fix…. And currently there is no fix
U wouldn’t and shouldn’t expect this from the ”world car of the year’ or ‘engine of the year’
my thoughts are that vw pay these judges off who rate these cars

Hi all, I thought I would throw in my thoughts on my recent 118 tsi (united grey metallic) purchase (June 2011 build). After placing a deposit, I then read about the dreaded chirping here and elsewhere in the DSG and my heart sank. But I was assured that VW had redesigned the waterpump to address the issue. Despite this advice, right on 1900kms, it started. BUT, I have to say, it was actually pretty quiet and only occasional. The car is now close to 6,000km and I have not heard it for quite a while now, probably since 4,000km and hoping it stays that way. Overall, I just love the vehicle. I got quite a few options including corn silk leather, upgraded stereo and park assist and it all feels just so plush and refined inside – I call it my ‘cocoon of civility’. It just purrs down the freeway and county roads are a treat. It is super quiet inside, but you can still hear the cool ‘whir’ of the engine at deceleration. There is an ever so slight hesitation at take off with the twin chargers, but again, no biggy. Once it really kicks in, it leaves the ford and holden utes sitting back at the lights (which is rather fun I have to say). Only other slight niggle I can think of is a slight rollback with hill start assist – again possibly the time taken for the twin chargers to do their work (?). Also, I do think the exterior is a tad bland – I also looked at the Volvo C30 which I just love the exterior, but at the end of the day, practicality guided me back to the VW and it was the interior where I obviously spend most of the time that won me over. All up, I absolutely love it, and would recommend to anyone.

I bought my golf 118 TSI DSG Comfortline with sports package (wheels, suspension) plus tint, sunroof, mats etc in April 2010, it was 9 months old with 9000klm on the clock, original owner said she’d changed jobs and now had a company car. She’d paid $42K driveaway, I paid $31k and felt I had a bargain… I bought after considerable research (mags such as Wheels, mainstream online media, COTY awards etc) but hadn’t discovered sites like this!
Seller was in Brisbane, I’m in Lismore so until we met to finalise transaction, I’d never driven a DSG, had to go on reports…and considering my previous two cars (2005 Subaru Liberty Spec B, and 2007 Holden Calais V 6.0L with 20″ wheels and HSV suspension package) had been bought on Wheels road tests, reviews and recommendations, I felt on safe ground. Every thing I’d read about DSG made it sound fantastic.
But I just can’t love that gearbox. I have had no other problems with the car (37,500klm now) and it handles like a dream and looks fantastic, uses very little fuel, has ample grunt…but that DAMN GEARBOX!! I hate the stutter and hesitation at take-off, and the huge difference between Drive and Sport modes.
Would I buy another 118TSI? possibly. But a manual one.
Next car? Almost definitely a GTI…or new Focus ST (XR5)

Listen MOTO GP, I work and live here in the middle east where the average after income tax (no tax here) is higher than in Australia. Guess what buddy: you don’ see too many Golf 118 TSI or the likes in this price range. people buy Japs because in the heat VW melts! Proven fact here, blown turbo, electrical problems of some sort. Happens to my XC 90 and that’s why I sold it and bought a Toyota sequoia! Reliable all the time

Nearly every comment has -1 votes. Someone must have had some spare time on their hands. Anyway I’d go the 118tsi. The performance and the looks do it for me. Real rims to over the plastic hubcaps.
