Contact VW
I have a 2016 TDI and from the day I took delivery, it has told me 100 times to change the battery key. I check the battery, even put a new one in, and guess what? Still the same. Most times my key will unlock the car when I grab the door handle but often not, so I use the unlock button on the key case. This key has just died completely and VW want $620 for a new one, yes it's true !!

Have golf 118 tsi ( the s and I are red in colour). There is oil coming into air intake pipe which then drips under the air filter. Have to top it up all the time. My model is 2010. The gear box shudders all the time on take off. However, it suddenly lost power on the Hume Highway when I was travelling at 110 km. Nearly got rammed at the back. Only has 103 000 km on it. What could it be?

Sorry never had an issue like this so I would contact the manufacturer :)
Lucky you. Did some searching and found heaps of other people with engine and gearbox problems in this model. Recalls in most countries. Looks like the consumer protection and government have been asleep at the wheel. My most scary experience was the sudden loss of power on the highway.
Also owned a Mk 6 golf. Engines in that era were renowned for burning a reasonable amount oil, mine about 1 litre per 5000kms; VW has stated that this isn't problematic. Leaking oil is another issue that needs expert advice. Is it a manual? If so, the shudder at take off is symptomatic of a warped clutch plate, which is not uncommon at the km's yours has done and all clutches do have a limited lifespan. No cheap fix, may need a new clutch. The loss of power is concerning and sounds like the car has gone into limp mode due to a detected failure of some system. All these issues warrant a return to the dealer for testing.

Hi everyone .
I've looked at a 2012 with 50000 kms, mechanic said noise when in neutral sounded like truss bearing on the clutch .. so i stayed away .
next looked at 2100 model with 80000 kms and it had a similar noise . do these models have a history of clutch problems or is the noise a "normal " thing ?
thanks regards Dave

these models have a history of all sorts of problems, especially engine failures. Only buy if you enjoy russian roulette.
We talking about the DSG auto? If so, the noise could be the dual-mass flywheel failing/rattling. One way of diagnosing the fault is to turn the steering, which loads the engine. If the noise then goes away, then you've just confirmed that the dual-mass flywheel is defective. Cheerio!
