The pcp deal fo my 2015 mk7 match is coming to an end and I’m currently negotiating a deal for a new build GTI. Thing is, I’m not sure about the colour to get. Originally I was sold on tornado red, but now not so sure. I’m between indium grey and black at the moment. Anyone with experience...

I took out fixed price servicing back in August after buying our Mk7, and since then VW have had 'technical problems' taking payment by direct debit. Nice letter from them today apologising for the inconvenience and telling me they were waiving the fee, so I get 3 years servicing for free -...

Looking for suggestions here. My wife is out and about and having parked up and switched off the ignition, the stereo won't switch off. Tried with the ignition on/off pressing the power button - nothing. Stays on. At the moment, the car is parked up with the volume turned down. Got a 2015...

Not sure exactly, but think it was last week in May.

So far so good after a couple of days with my new golf. So far, got 3 small issues: 1) Car-Net App Connect not activated. Dealer to sort out, but no timescale yet. 2) There is a what can be described as a faint whoosh or shhh type sound when applying the throttle. No throttle, no sound...

I was surprised to find that my car came with a space saver spare wheel rather than a repair kit. I was under the impression that it wouldn't have one, so I'm quite pleased. Is this normal in the UK?

Picked my new motor up this evening. Very pleased with it so far. The electronic handbrake and hill hold will take a bit of getting used to. Spec as in my signature. Only downside is my Car-Net App Connect isn't working (only seeing MirrorLink). Tyres fitted are Hankook Ventus S1 Evo2 (not...

iPhone 6 here, previously 4s and HTC Hero. Moved to Apple after the novelty of rooting an Android phone and hunting for custom roms just so that I could keep it up to date wore off. Apple stuff just works.

Have any of you used the free 5 days insurance from VW and how much hassle was it setting up?
