my 2.5RS had a crazy TOB whine when it was really cold for the first few miles, but generally that car made so many noises when it got that cold that the TOB was the least of my bothers. and that was at 135k miles on the stock clutch so it got a pass.
my Si currently has a clutch "pop" that is due to a crappy clutch pedal design. it comes and goes. i've been told that lithium grease on the joints and clutch master cylinder shaft will fix it, but i am le tired so i just turn up the vtacs.
these GTI's are popular cars so i'm sure someone will figure out some degree of a fix. every car has its faults sooner or later. if you're having a lot of fun with it, you're already ahead of the game.
