Hi guys, I'm new, been thinking of buying a Passat as my next car so signed up here to do some research before my purchase.

Hi, I'm an owner of a 2005 Touran 1.9TDi PD SE with 72k original miles on the clock. Hobbies are motorcycling, all grain brewing and making biodiesel. I live in Manchester and I'm a tram driver. Glad I came across this forum. Take care everyone. Glyn

Hi my names Rob and this is our Golf MK IV 1.6 Auto

Hi, Can you guys help me please I purchased a new set of wheels and tyres for my 2008 Touareg 2.5TDI R5. unfortunately they do not fit. They were BK Racing alloys with tyres 275/45/20 (9.5j) The supplier insisted these would fit and on trying one I found that they protruded about 30mm out of the arches. Can any body help me in getting the right wheel and tyres for my car. the offset I believe is 5x120. I spent ages contacting suppliers and was promised these would fit but unfortunately they did not. Regards, Mike

My name is Simon, and I live in Plymouth. I have a 2002 Mk Golf 2.3 V5 that is a work in progress.

Hi Just joint this group. Is there a special section for CC GT owners or are we part of the Passat owners? :)

Hi I'm Griggsy nice to meet u all

Hi all. Just joined this morning. I own a Passat B5.5, my second Passat after a string of Golfs (mk's 2,3&4). Part way through my list of subtle mods, just front struts to go..... Saving the best (hardest) job for last!

Hi Just thought i would say a quick hello , my Mrs just got a new Polo 2011 plate 1.2 3 Door match Just something cheap for her to run around in :-) currently saving for my golf GTD so thought i would sign up :-) Cheers DaveMark

i passed my test yesterday and purchased this today! http://usedcars.unbeatablecar.com/vehicle_details.aspx?VehicleId=97646

i have a 2011 VW Touran SE spec which has storage bins under the seats, so the Bluetooth module won't go there. So where is it? Thanks in advance! Jim

Just signed up and in doing so checked out Adrian Flux insurance quotes, Just saved £40/annum off previous best quote and all proof required done on line. Excellent! So far so good. Can anyone recommend cabriolet roof replacement suppliers/fitting for Mk 4 Golf? (P reg fixed rear window) and/or expected cost. Thanks

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…

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

Name is Bill, waiting for my new DSG Golf R in a couple of months. I had to get rid of my great Skoda Octavia VRS, manual (remapped to 260 bhp) due to a back injury. Can't wait for the R. Cheers

Hi all, I'm trying to identify an exhaust given to me some time ago by a friend. Its a Twin front pipe it looks like it goes over a crossmember, as it has a hump, I think the part no on the flexible part is : 6no 253 097c.. Also on the exhaust : 05/2000….could this be the date of manufacture?.. Any help much appreciated. Stan

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

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 guys, thought I'd say hello. Just got rid of my MK4 GTI German Import (Special little details on it, lights etc ) Now running a Caddy, bought standard with 12k on the clock, used for mountainbiking, camping ( all converted in the rear, tv's etc) and allround tomfoolery. Some mods include, VW Golf Front Coilovers Rear Axle Flip Axle re-located Rear insulated and carpeted (Bed and storage too) TV/electronics install Some re-trimming in the cab Wheels - wrapped in proper tyres (falkens) Tidying up the engine ready for a re-map with pipework and cone filter Brake upgrade to drilled and vented Zinc Plated EBC. Currently in the bodyshop getting bumpers, door handles, mi…

just found a Volkswagen app on iTunes called driver connect - its quite neat tracks all your mileage so that you can keep records of business mileage, also got some other useful stuff inc vw dealer directory

Hi Guys, Just thought i'd come on here and introduce myself. I'm Steve, From Ipswich Suffolk. My pride and joy is a well used 1999, Mk 4 (Yeah i know Mk 3.5) 2L Golf Cabriolet Aventgarde :) She'e see better days, does need a little TLC... but after 127,000 miles she's still going strong. My Second ever car 17 years ago was a 1.1 Mk1 Golf, I loved that little car but unfortunately she died after about 6 months of me boy racering around lol. Havent owned a Dub since... until 0ct 2012 when I bought my Cabby... its re-lit my flame for all things VW, hopefully money permitting i'll be off to some Dub festivals this summer :) Take it easy... it's good to be in the club …

2014 Golf R - Should I wait and get the new Golf R or a GTI with Performance Pack? I haven't not been able to establish when exactly the new Golf R will be available to buy in the UK, but wonder if the GTI is a better bet? Will the new Golf R be as good looking as the GTI? Any advice / information welcome. Phil

I have just purchased my 2nd Passat "diesel" and have been informed by a frend that they need ADD BLUE .Has any other member come across this and know the price of such an additive is
