I have an April 2012 production 2013 MY that has ~ 65000 kms.

Yeah the engine absolutely implodes every kilometer. There is a trail of nuts and bolts down the street where I drive. When I do eventually sell the car I am hoping someone will accept a personal cheque as payment for removal. It got all the more worse when i slapped on a supercharger and coilovers since the car is loud and clunky too. But it is fast as shit. And I have had 1 repair, replace starter motor. I fried it previously trying to crank the engine with the belt held tight by a seized supercharger. It lasted as few months after that.
Seriously, my car has been great with a leaky taillight as the only warranty complaint and I have decided to hold off on the recall job for now since the dealer wants to charge extra to work on my supercharged engine even though the de-cluttering will actually hugely speed up the job. The springs had plenty of time to fail, so clearly mine aren't faulty. And resale value only matters if you plan to sell. I'd like to tuck this one into a barn one day.
