    IN MARCH 2006 I PURCHASED A 2006 VOLKSWAGEN GTI. THE SPEEDOMETER READS 10% FASTER THAN THE ACTUAL SPEED OF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS BEEN THE CASE SINCE I TOOK DELIVERY. I HAVE VERIFIED THIS ERROR USING A GPS AND BY DRIVING A MEASURED MILE. I CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY DEFECT BECAUSE I MUST MENTALLY CORRECT THE SPEEDOMETER READING. THIS IS A DISTRACTION WHICH DIVERTS MY ATTENTION FROM THE TASK OF DRIVING. IT IS DIFFICULT TO KNOW THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE AT A GLANCE. BOTH THE DEALER AND VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA ACKNOWLEDGE THE ERROR, BUT CLAIM THAT THE ERROR IS WITHIN ACCEPTABLE TOLERANCE LIMITS. I DISAGREE. *JB

    THE CONSTANT TICKING SOUND OF THE FUEL LINES HITTING THE FIREWALL CAN BE HEARD WHILE THE CAR IS AT IDLE BEHIND THE GLOVE BOX. SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE TO SECURE THE FUEL LINES AT THE FACTORY WHEN THE CARS ARE BEING BUILT. MANY VW DEALERS DON'T KNOW ABOUT THIS ISSUE. *JB
