got myself a nice mk5 last week which has only covered 16k miles. when changing gear from 1st to 2nd it sometimes crunches, does the same changing down from 3rd to 2nd. Doesn't do it all the time. Took it to VW who said it was most likely a syncro mesh problem and quoted £1200 to fix!
Went back to previous owner who said they never had a problem with it so i tried VW customer services who said in these cases they would sometimes offer a good will 50/50 towards the repair but in this case because the car doesn't have a FSH they said they wouldn't help.
the car was advertised as having a FSH and has one stamp from VW in March this year at approx 15,500 miles, the car is an 07 plate.
Can anyone suggest where i go from here as teh car was bought privately so i can't really take it up with them unless i use the 'advertised as FSH' as my ammo.
thanks
