This car is constantly being serviced. The electrical system is totally unreliable. Brake lights, headlights, alarm system, turn signal lights, power outlets have been replaced several times.
Ignition cylinder block had to be replaced last year with 17,000 miles on it. Took over a month to be resolved.
Most recently a low pressure turn off engine light has appeared two days after an oil change!
Engine is very loud for about 30 seconds after initial start up. Never heard this with any other car.
What am I doing wrong? My computer says I am getting 14MPG. Ridiculous.
Car handles well.
Quick in sport mode.
Will never purchase a VW again.
One wonders why you purchased the car in the first place. (given your low expectations)
The noise you describe for 30 seconds after starting the engine is the secondary air injection pump. It adds fresh air to the exhaust in order to reduce emissions. It shuts off after about 30 seconds because by then, ample fresh air is running through the engine.
I have to say ditto to the previous comment; I wouldn't buy a car for which I had low expectations.
