Greatly Appreciated Usually, I would go about this first. However, I have only had my 1.8T for a couple of months and have really only been lurking, doing silent research as I hadn't gain much to contribute. This was the first thing I felt worth posting. Obviously the driver(s) affect the...

I can see what you mean. Yes, I am rather frustrated about the whole situation but the whole point was to warn other users that there IS the possibility of this happening to somebody else and it may not be at 120,000 miles like you might expect but at the happier side of 100,000. I'd like to...

It was a private sale and I'd hope if they had used any tricks to cover it they would have been discovered by the guys who currently have the gearbox in pieces.

Where have I said I expect to be compensated? The alarm was the initial rattle that's when I booked it in to the garage. The time between that and it actually going in for the work there was an exceptionally rapid deterioration. Firstly i said typically as there are thousands of examples of...

The car has a full service history, stamped in the book. It was previously driven by the guys wife and when purchased the engine pulled fine, no smoking, but the gearbox wasn't making any noise and the gears selected witout any issue what-so-ever. I know gearbox repairs are expensive and if I...

Well I tried to be of help to other people but it appears my attempt has been interpreted by some as an all out attack on VAG. I stated the warning signs I had leading up to what happened so maybe others would be aware of what to look for. I appreciate the fact the mk2 is a much lighter car...

I haven't blamed the previous owner, I enquired if he had any g/b issues but said there wasn't, plus there was no noise when the car was purchased in Jaunary. The problem I have is the speed/time-scale in which the gearbox destroyed itself. That's why I've contacted them.

That isn't blame. That is saying my personal opinion on the brand is different due to my experience. And again, a warning this can happen to anyone with a VAG 6-speed box... NOT Blame PLUS read the FIRST LINE - "posting my story everywhere in the hope it doesn't happen to other people"

Ok, first off, no need to talk down to me like you are the all-knowing voice of reason, it is unnecessary! Maybe half the point of my post is to demonstate that this is a possibility that could happen to some-one else and it is a warning. Where have I put that I am directly blaming VAG!? I...

Ok, so this is my last resort, posting my story everywhere in the hope it doesn't happen to other people. I own a '55 plate Seat Leon Cupra R, it has now covered 81,000 miles. When I purchased it there were ~78,000 miles on the clock and there was no noise to be concerned about. This was...
