  1. If the key is proving to be faulty then it is worth replacing but I would go to a specialist automotive locksmith who can programme the key to your car a lot cheaper than a garage, and especially a VW dealership

  2. Hi Garry.

    Sorry to hear your sad news.
    Unfortunately, I do not know of any such club but it is worth asking the local VW dealership as they may some memory of one running out from there in the 70's or even posting on the local facebook groups in the hope that someone may remember this club?

  3. Hi....welcome to the Club

    I would examine the vehicles' service history and see that it has been carried out correctly and on time.

    Certainly good oil is an investment for longer turbo life and allowing it to cool down for a while before switching the engine off.

    Otherwise, it is a chance you take that the previous owner has looked after it properly

  4. Hi....welcome to the Club

    I would start by carrying out any essential servicing tasks (ones you can confidently carry out yourself) which enhance the reliability and drivability.
    After that then its your choice to improve comfort whether thats the suspension or interior?

    Let us know how it all goes

     

  5. Sounds like it could be the plastic ratchet mechanism on the clutch pedal

    Have a look under the dash at the top of the clutch pedal and see if there is a white plastic part
    It should also make a ratcheting noise when you lift the pedal back up

    If it is this then it needs replacing but is a sod of a job to do unless you are very flexible
