Hi Everyone,

  Five month ago I bought a new 2002 VW Bora V5. I loved it till it with a few problems that I was told would be fixed in the 1000 km Service . This is acceptable. Any car needs some time to run in and work up the engine.

  I took it after the 1000KM service and the car is still giving me a lot of problems. I was told un-officialy that VW have a lot of problems with the V5 range in particular. Also that my complaints are exactly the same as everyone elses.

  I am wondering if anyone is facing the same problems I am facing...

1 - Fuel Meter is crazy. If you kick-down the fuel meter goes down by an eights of the tank and will eventually come back up after maybe 5 - 10 min.

2 - On low speeds there is an obvious vibration in the engine

3 - The engine noise is reltivly high ( I owned a BMW before and an Audi so I know how german cars sound )

4 - When at traffic lights. I get the occasional jitter and the fuel consumptions goes up to way over 5 - 6 l/hr and then it goes back to normal on its own.

It is very strange that VW make a car and it is like this. It is also very annoying to buy a brand new car and face these kind of problems.

Any comments !!!
