Volkswagen Golf Club

Hi all. New to this club so hello and thanks for being here. We just bought a 2012 VW Golf 1.6 Tdi, 60,000 miles. Lovely car drives well. The guy that services my VW vans had a look at it today, says it's breathing far too much from the oil filler, if you remove it. He reckons it's rings or maybe piston. It certainly does puff well at tickover with the cap partly removed, bit of smoke too. Is he right or do they all do this??? Blocked breather maybe? Thanks anyway and hello again

Hey, hope everyone is good. I'm having intermittent issues with the headunit in my 2015 Mk7 Golf GTD. The headunit will start, but it seems "disconnected" from the MFD or other buttons like on the dash. Sometimes after a short period of time it'll come online and be fine. When it doesn't boot properly bluetooth doesnt work. It states "turn ignition on" even though the engine is running. Any ideas? 20200520_180816.mp4

Hello, I need help! I’m after a resonator delete kit for my golf R mk6. I can only seem to find them for mk7’s. Does the mk6 have a resonator? If not, what’s a good alternative for more grunt. Regards.

Good morning. I am after a little bit of advise please. A couple of months ago my dad gave me his old car, it is a golf mk5 2,0TDI 4 motion. He owned it for the last 15 years ,it has fully VW service history with 68,000mile on the clock. I do not need another car so i am going to sell it, looking on line I have only found a couple for sale and for around £4000.i am wondering if any one can help me price it correctly or if anyone is interested in buying it from me. I have been offered a price but not sure if its a good or bad offer. many thanks Dan

Help needed please! I'm on the verge of ordering my new golf (r line estate) but have been unable to find "samples" of the colours I'm interested in. Unfortunately my local dealer has no cars of the right colours in stock,nor do they have any colour samples. The colours Im interested in are dolphin grey and the oyster silver if anyone can help? I've tried using the vehicle configuration tool on the website but it doesn't give particularly good results!

I have a mk 8.5 e-hybrid , 1 week old and cannot produce warm air from the climate system , i have tried with air con on and off , e-mode , hybrid mode, Sport mode, comfort mode and via infotainment screen and direct with climate button drive the car for up to 1 hour but only cold air comes from the fans / vents and although the infotainment screen indicates red and warn air should be coming out - it simply remains cold air, the dealership indicated i should reset the infotainment screen - which i have done several times but this did not fix the problem - have any other e-hybrid owners had similar issues / suggest a fix , i dont have time to leave the car back to dealers…

hi guys I'm in the process of buying a 2013 3door 1.4 tsi and just wanted to ask are these engines reliable are there any other things I should no about?? I'm coming from a 2015 Focus ecoboost. Thanks in advance

Hi just wondering if any Golf owners have achieved noticeable reductions in road noise by changing tyres. My recent purchase came with Gt radial FE2 tyres which are OK but the road noise can be excessive on some surfaces, but it still better than the BMW active tourer. I know that the EU tyre ratings for noise don't necessarily relate to internal noise levels.

Thinking of buying a Golf Estate to carry dogs and Grandchildren, and do around 15000 miles pa back and forward to work, which Engine should I buy? 66 plate 1.6 TDI or 16 plate 1.6 Blue motion? Is the Blue motion 15 mpg better or just another test tube figure

Hi, I’m needing a bit of advice, I have a 69 plate Bluemotion Golf. I’ve just had the first MOT done and 3 advisory’s came up. Offside front, near side rear and offside rear all have a light misting of oil on the shock absorbers. I’m not 100% sure what this means? My cars done 20k so not loads of miles, should I be worried? And do I need to get this fixed immediately? The guy at the MOT centre said it’s nothing to worry about but I’m not convinced. Thanks 🙂

Hi, does anyone have experience of using these please? My brand new Golf got 'dinged' on its very first outing in a public car park and I don't want to have to keep getting a 'paintless repair' done each time this happens - as it surely will over time!

Help! whilst replacing my front headlamp i have damaged the headlamp electrical connector. i have broken the tab off by pushing a screw driver into it's slot.i manage to get it off initially by pressing the 2 sides of the connector with some pliers. how i got this to work is anyone's guess, it just did. i've tried to get the connector off again, and i can't. what are my options if i ever had to release this connector again.

Hi all: my front lane assist camera on my vw golf GTD mk7.5 is faulty. I just bought a new one to replace it. Will it need coding when I install it? If so does anyone have the correct steps to do this using VCDS?

Hi everyone Just px'ed my Bora 1.9 130 TDI Highline for a 2015 Golf 1.0 TSI Bluemotion (hopefully for the better) was just wondering if anyone's got one of the 1.0 TSI Golf's, that could share any thoughts on them (good or bad). I have done some internet search's for reviews and video's, and they seem to be pretty good ,but would welcome some proper thoughts on what owners think.I have discovered that earlier TSI units had problems with the timing chain ,but have read that this has now been rectified on later models ,and does not apply to this particular 1.0 TSI engine (so I am told), would I be right in this assumption. looking forward to hearing from any…

On my 55 plate Volvo, I could manually fold back the door mirrors. Either the Golf's mirrors don't do this, or they're very stiff? Anyone know where I can download an owners manual/ Thanks in anticipation of any replies.

Hi all, My car (mk4 pd150) recently had to have a new alternator, auxiliary belt, and battery after the old alternator died. My issue isn't wholly fixed as after this work the alternator warning light comes on when my car goes over 2k revs. The garage told me I would need to get an auto electrician to look at the issue as they can't do that sort of work. I called the electrician and he seemed pretty confident that the garage fitted the wrong alternator. I rang the garage up and they checked the part and they are confident that it is correct. I have the auto electrician looking at my car on Tuesday but wondered if anyone else has any idea what is going on or if…

Hi All, Newbie here, just wanted to ask a few things before I make a purchase. I am currently looking into purchasing a Golf 1.6 Auto Diesel Bluemotion (59 plate to 11 plate) fit within my budget. Would you say these are reliable? Any common faults I should be looking out for? What mpg figures should I be expecting? Thanks!

Hi to everybody, I need some help please. My ignition barrel broke and the "mechanic" as changed the barrel the cluster the bcm the ECU and the gateway modules but the abs lights flash. The car drives as it should but I am unsure how to sort the abs problem.
