Hi, My 2012, 2ltr Bluemotion Passat DSG has recently started to give me some gear selection problems. Basically it is an occasional problem, where ,after starting the car ,it is extremely difficult to move the gear selector leaver out of the Park position. It requires extreme force to move the leaver into drive. My vehicle is still under warranty but before taking it into the local dealer, I wondered if anyone else had experienced a similar problem. Would be grateful for any info. on this problem ,as it is very inconvenient to get to the dealer. Thanks Marsh

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

2003 Jetta 1.9L TDI w/hydraulic clutch and 5 speed manual transmission. Problem occured suddenly not gradually so must be failure rather than wear. When engine is running and clutch depressed, cannot shift into or out of any gear. With engine off, can shift thru all gears smoothly. With engine off, shift into any gear, then start engine and let clutch out, clutch engagement is smooth, everything is normal until next shift point. Can't shift unless engine is shut off, then shift is smooth, engine restarted and everything normal until next shift point. Same thing happens thru all gears. Clutch engages normally with no chatter. When stopped with engine running, no vehicle creep with transmission in gear, clutch fully depressed and brake released. Just cannot move shift lever when engine is running, but shift lever moves in and out of all gears smoothly when engine is off. Checked transmission cables support bracket - firmly attached ok. Checked brake fluid reservoir quantity - ok. No leaks observed in lines from brake fluid reservoir to clutch master cylinder or to clutch slave cylinder. All linkage from shift cables to various levers on transmission move smoothly without any binding or roughness. Any ideas would be greatly appeciated.

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, mirrors etc colour coded ​ Thatll do for now or we will be here all day! Pete

Right, to kick off an empty section, here is the brothers Mk2 Scirocco. This got well loved and restored, then hammered round the 'ring like it was meant to ;). In a new home now but I still miss it.

Hi I Just wondered what people are achieving for real world MPG's in their Golf Blue motions. I've got a 60 Reg "Bluemotion Technology" and am getting 54-58MPG in real world usage. Cheers, Paul
