They still not fixed that problem? I had a 02 plate golf 1.9TDi and the pipe was designed too short, would pop off and corrode the boot hatch mechanism. Easy fix but shody if they didn't sort it for the new model.
not sure mate tbh, I always had golfs or vag group, and the only one that didn't have this prob was a mk1 golf because it didn't have one lol.
