My friend told me the sunroof was replaced when he had the car. So that and an intake manifold, not bad for 102k mostly k04. The radiator has a small leak but hasn't gotten worse.

'12 GTI manual.
Owned from 15k-48k.
-@ 31k, timing chain tensioner failure, all fixed/replaced under warranty.
Starting @ ~40k miles, TOB whine.

Never had a WP replaced, intake manifold never had an issue. Traded in for MK7 this february. Loved that car, and kinda regret getting rid of it (at the time I traded it in I only owed 10k and had 3 years of payments left - now my MK7 has 4.25 years left of payments)

2010 GTI 6MT (built 11/20/09) original owner, engine mostly stock
56,500 mi
Failures:
Rear O2 sensor @ 15,000
Steering Wheel Electronics Module lost coding @ 30,000 (PITA to troubleshoot&fix)
Right rear brake rotor splash guard bolt holes corrode and comes off @ 53,000
OE battery dies @ 55,000

A bunch of TSBs over the years.

Knock wood, no water pumps, coil paks, but can feel some power loss due to intake valves clogging up.
Bought Platinum 9/90 extended warrantee after coding failure fearing for further electronic breakdowns.
