Hi Guys im new here how are you all? Just wanted to make a post about this. I just purchased in May a new 2004 Black Golf Sport and all i had is trouble with it im so upset. The CD player has been changed in the last month 4 times because it kept stuffing up and yesterday i was driving to Canberra and the cruise control died on me. I was going 110KM an hour and then bang the cruise control shuts down and i cant set it anymore unless i turn on the engine and re-start the car, and then it only lasts for another 10min. Does anyone know what could be causing this? its only a 40 day old car? Im so disappointed. The amounts of times i had to take time off work to go to the service centre is rediculous i honestly dont know what to do anymore, i love this car but i dont understand why its having so many problems.

HELP

hey hey, welcome to the forum! If there's a solution, you'll probably find it here... there's a mega wealth of knowledge to be found here... sounds like it could be a loose connection or faulty sender switch, but thats just a stab iin the dark.

good luck!

Welcome, One solution to the problem is take it back to the dealership, place the keys on the counter and say fix it, will be under warranty so get them to do the work there and then, the dealership was happy to sell you the car and take your hard earned cash, dont touch anything as this may void the warranty, i should imagine the problem will be a simple one....

can you find out which day it was actually completed? If it was a monday or friday car, take it back and ask for a wednesday car (best work day in factory). You could save yourself a lot of dramas! don't tinker, like volksfolks said, you have paid a lot of money for everything to work. Take it back and ask for a car to borrow in meantime esp if it's getting to the loss of income stage. (it is not like you have purchased the bottom of the range there).. :cussing

hey i have a 2003 new beetle and i agree the standard of VW's new range of cars is very poor!!! we have had to take our beetle back about 4 times for the CD player aswell and its still stuffing up!!!! its getting to the stage of disappointment!!!!
its a lovely car when everything works!!
cheers

p.s. welcome

The stereos are fitted here in Aust , they come from Melbourne to be precise . The cruise control is probably the stalk , I've changed a couple of faulty units . The actual cruise control control unit is part of the dash and engine ECU . It could be a problem with the brake light switch as this switches off the cruise control if the brake pedal is pressed


Good luck and keep complaining cause thats what fixes problems
