Good Morning, I have just purchased a second hand Jetta, I am very happy with it, Its been over 25 years since last owning a VW, I had a very old 1967 Bettle love it, but sold it to go travelling many years ago. I am pleased I have found this site, as there is not much local info on VW here in Australia, ie forums or groups/ clubs,( that I have found anyway). A little info on the Jetta, Its a 2006 FSI 2.0 Auto, 93000k on the clock, I have just had it serviced and the Mechanic is very impressed with the condition of the car, previous owner was a friend of mine who looked after it very well, It was a good buy at a good price. Its now due to have the Timing Belt and…

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 …

I had a problem when my 2007 1.9tdi Touran went into limp home mode. The tester said OVERBOOST Crawled under car and pulled on the Turbo boost arm and it was free so not jammed by soot. Bought a second hand vacuum control box, (NOT the N75 as stated in some you tube videos Removed battery for access To remove box undo four torx screws, then slip off two clips on the hose plug end, finally unclip the control electric plug, reverse procedure to refit. Only pain in the backside was the torx screwsm, you cannot see all of them and you need something like a 1/4 drive with a short extension to get in their and apply enough pressure to undo them, mi…

Hi folks, I'm just introducing myself, Im T. I just bought an Touran 2.0 Match dsg auto box a couple of months ago. This is my first VW for over 40+ years. (last one was a 1962 lhd beetle) I love the Touran but it had to have a new flywheel because after a couple of weeks driving it, it developed well hell of a rattle, good job i bought an extended warranty at the same time, Its a 2010 plate reg only done 69000 since new, it is immaculate inside and just a very few marks on the exterior, already been touched and blended in. I think i paid over the odds for it but hey who's counting. It was dealers price but as soon as i test drove it, it was m…

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

Hello all, I just got a T-Roc R 2022, already I've booked it in for a repair, the parking equipment comes on while driving and the infotainment system doesn't load user profiles or allow you to create one 😭 Other than that, I love my T-Roc Pablooooooo

Looking to tune my 1.8 T Any advise ?? Thanks all

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 …

I'm looking for a vw golf MK 4 GTi 1.8t :-) So hope to chat and if I manage to get one come along to meets like the old days :-)

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, my father died recently, and I'm trying to write his eulogy, but I'm struggling to remember details of a thing that had been very dear to him. Back in the 70's he was a very active member of the VW owners club near Lincoln. I believe that it was based at the dealer ship Green's of Faldingworth. Am I asking the right people? Does anyone remember the club? My father was Colin Cook of Gainsborough. Fingers crossed.

Hi folks. Anybody interested in buying my beloved VW 1972 camper van

Hi there, I've just joined and looking forward to getting my new (used) High Up! in the next week. Fingers crossed weather not too awful. Previous car was a 2CV which I just sold within first few hours of the advert being placed online. See attached pic, really sad to see it go as owned from new . Now I just have to learn how to drive a normal car again after 30 years . Hope it is easy, test driving car on Saturday. Perhaps everyone could keep of the roads on Saturday afternoon. Ha Ha.
