Hello all, Brought my first VW last week after being a Fiat owner for nearly 20 years. I purchased a 09 2.0 TDI highline estate, I have a couple of jobs to do (which you expect) So far I'm very impressed with it.

Hi all, new here.. had a b6 passat for a while until it was written off.. wanted to stay with vw and found a lovely 2011 cc gt. Lovely spec and very low miles.. just wanted to come and say hi

Hi all, Rob here, newbie. I'm new to VW and thought I'd look for a club/site where I can get answers to any questions and maybe contribute to others queries. I just bought my son a 2004 Polo 1.4tdi Mk4 (9n) and am still learning my way around the car. Needs a bit of attention but as a long time Land Rover driver, I'm reasonable handy with a a spanner....And a grinder, big hammer, gas axe and tea drinking! Hope everyone's well in these uncertain times. Regards Rob

Other vehicles in the fleet are the Mrs' Fiat 500S ant my LR Discovery TD5. Looking forward to some GTD related banter. Dave

Hi from new owner of VW Golf MK7 1.4 !!

Hi all I have a VW Golf TSI Plus Reg 2009. The engine (I am told) needs to be replaced after a compression test. The question is do I pay to have a replacement engine in the car or scrap it. The body work and interior is good and I bought it for £5,000 in May 22.

Hi my name is Neil and I'm new here also have a problem with my car that a standard garage have basically said they don't know what's wrong and to take it to an auto electrician which I'm trying to avoid, the code is cylinder 2 misfire and I've done all the normal things, changed spark plugs and coils, had a new injector fitted, changed the MAF sensor, put a new breather pipe for the oil and it still doesn't work, every time you press the accelerator pedal more than about 2cm it judders like crazy and gets worse in higher gears and when it judders it makes the engine management light flash, any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

I just recently had my timing chain and turbo replaced on my 2016 VW Golf SuperSport. Used an independent mechanic and not the dealership. After getting it back, the engine makes a loud screeching noise when I open the hood, doors, trunk and start the car. Sounds like something is trying to cycle but is getting stuck. Acc light and EPC lights are on. Today I noticed that my gas mileage is very poor and after driving it for a long period of time, I had white smoke coming from the engine. I had it towed back to the mechanic. Any input on solutions, other than getting a new mechanic. Feeling a little sick to my stomach after paying a lot of money to have it fixed. …

Hi everybody! I'm Andrew! This is my 2018 Volkswagen Golf 1.8T S FWD

Hi thanks for letting me join. I’m hoping you extremely knowledgeable VW owners will be able to help me. Last year after my 2014 Touran 1.6 (owned from new) had a major service (40000 miles) there was an advisory note saying that the driveshaft heat shield was missing. I’m sorry to say I didn’t think much about it at the time but as I’m about to book this years service I noticed the note again. I have spent a little time searching on the web and can only find second hand heat shields from scrap merchants mostly and I don’t know the VW part number. Does anyone know if this can be bought new from a VW dealership if I give them my VIN number? I’ve obviously been driving ar…

Hi all, Apologies if this is in the wrong part of the forum as I am new here and this is my first post. My friend owns a 2017 VW Passat hybrid and he sent me this photo (please see below) the mechanic said it's missing a cover. Can anyone verify what this is and if there is a cover please. Many thanks for all who read this. Regards Jamie

Hi Please can anyone suggest an alternative to the Febi Bilstein retaining clips/ flat steel nuts that used to hold the under tray on to my Blue Gt?
