Hi guys im new here. I have been on the fordownersclub.co.uk site as previously had a mk2 focus titanium and after hassle with a dealer I decided change was necessary so I traded my ford for a 55 plate golf gti with 36000 miles on the clock. I think its also fair to say the only thing I miss is my lack of music connectivity and Bluetooth. The power is just sensational and think the car is brilliant. I am very open to subtle mod ideas maybe more major ones in near future as only had car a week and a bit. Thanks for reading I look forward to talking to you and reading your feedback

A newbie here have got a 2015 Tiguan 2.0tdi match 4motion whats best tow bar for small camping trailer please

Hi all, recently bought a VW touran 2013. Not many features on there but still a lovely car, also upgraded the wheels to 17" from 15", so have a spare set of OEM alloys and tyres if any needed?

Hi Everyone,This is my first post on here although I have owned many vw's over the years, I hope someone will be able to give me some advice. My wife drives a 2017 Vw Golf R line with the 7 speed DSG gearbox we have owned it from new(it now has 5k miles on the clock) It has a really anoying rattle that you can only hear with the windows down when going over a slightly bumpy road, you can also hear it if the car is driven past you. I am a subaru mechanic and have checked the car over and all seems ok. I have heard it could be the DSG box rattling, if it is the box should it be that bad at 5k miles? I know you are probably thinking why not take it t…

Hi all was just wondering how is it is to do a service on v6 4 motion golf I have done one on my polo 1.9tdi but obviously this is a different animal lol any tips and advice is greatly appreciated

Evening all, Ive just purchased a 2014 Tiguan 2.0 diesel 4wd DSG . 80 K so far so good, looking foward to seeing how it goes. Have had a few VAG cars over the years. Cheers Dan

Hi after finally finding a very decent 1997 vw passat B5 estate locally I thought it best to join a club / Forum for help, advice and general chit chat. Are there any local club meets or car shows for these classic cars Kind regards Gary

My old Kia carens has been a non starter for a year, had enough and am scrapping it, Santa Pod in a couple of weeks time and needed a tow car so here I am with a 2007 1.9TDi Touran, Towbar fitted (by me) double electrics wired (by me). Also have a Ventura Roof tent fitted for short weekends. After 40mph I get a drone from the front, jacked up all four corners spun wheels not bearings! Anyone here had problems with main pulley, Engine mounts or found a similar drone they have silenced? No steering twitch noticed or vibration under braking but front brakes need sorting they dont bite hard Tony

As you can guess from the username I'm from Milan, moved over a couple of years ago. I had to leave my dear VW scirocco over there cause it was quite old and it would have costed me too much driving it all the way to England. As I've had some expenses in this period I had to use the bus, but now I want to get a "new" old one XD

Hi there is their any issues to converting away from the dmf to a s flywheel? Weighing up the costs atm. Thanks for looking

Afternoon all, I'm a first-time VW Owner and bought a VW Tiguan Mk1 (I think it's a Mk1 - 13 plate) around 2 weeks ago from a VW Dealer here in South Wales under the Das Welt Auto scheme. It's been a bit of a nightmare so far... I bought from VW expecting a better quality of service and decent customer service it's not been great. After giving them an extra day to "prepare the car really nicely" the car I picked it up a little over 10 days ago it transpired the car had been really badly valeted (think algae around the panoramic roof rubbers, dog hair galore behind and to the sides of the back seat, sticky gunk built up in the door pockets and drink holders …

Hi all, new member here having bought my first ever VW (after 40 years of driving Ford/Vauxhall)...a Passat R Line Estate 2.0, 59 plate in lovely condition and 77k on the clock. I really want to query and get others views on the use of additives to the fuel,( Redex / Millers) but primarily relating to the Diesel Particulate Filter, Millers do an additive specifically to clean/regenerate it. Is it safe to use? Will it cause more problems than solve? Do others use it, if so does it work? Looking to keep it running flawlessly with minimal expense to dealers/garages etc! Have to say really impressed with the vehicle, massively roomy, and quick in a 'relaxed' way …

Hey just wanted to say Hi, I've just bought a passat b5.5 estate highline with a few little bits and bobs extr..

Hi Everyone, new to VW. Bought myself a 2006 Passat saloon BKP engine in December with 94000 on the clock. Not much service history with it but has had timing belt W/P and clutch done at 75000. Few issues I have noticed. I have a sunroof and when it rains heavy I get a leak down the A pillar and through the sun visor on the passenger side. Anything I can do apart from the easy silicone the sunroof? I suspect its a drainage problem blocked or dislodged. Also front arches are bubbling a small amount does VW cover this in the 12 year rust warranty. Car is 12 years old in August. If so how do you go about get it sorted? Thanks in anticipation …

Having not had a car for 10yrs (last one was an Audi) I am now on the quest to get myself a 2nd hand Touran... so from you well seasoned guys, what should I be looking out for - in terms of problems or issues) - I have seen a few (2006 -2010) where the owners have already changed or replaced or serviced the turbo, gearbox (DSG), cambelt and water pumps but is there anything else I should be aware of on cars that have covered between 75K-125k in mileage. All feedback appreciated and I look forward to getting to meet various people. I live 60km west of London in the UK, and although my interests are pretty grounded in psychology (as a psychologist) and photography (as a …

Hello, I am looking to purchase a T4 (I think, T4 - or other kind maybe!) I have a smallish budget, say around £7,000 but don;t want to make a mistake and obtain anything that wants a lot spent on it, etc. Any advice, ideas and information very welcome. I live close to Plymouth, Devon

Hi everyone. I am now the proud owner of a 14 plate auto Tiquan. Love it. I also have a 51 plate discovery, My son used to have a Golf VR highline, looked awesome until an armco jumped in front of it!! Looking forward to some chats with others

Hey, I'm not currently a VW owner technically but hopefully will be soon. Looking to buy a new Polo or Golf very soon but undecided on which to go for! I have heard good things about the new Polo and love the new Golf look that it has, but if I want a Polo because it looks like a Golf, why not just spend the extra and get a golf!? Anyway, any thoughts on the subject would be appreciated, anything I should be aware of? Any engines/models to avoid? Anybody got any suggestions on trustworthy sites online where i might be able to get a good deal? I would like to buy brand new and will be visiting our local dealer this weekend :) Thank you!
