I've owned my mk7 for two and a half years now, and today I got the 'ESC Intervention' message for the first time. It's a very wet and windy day up here today and I had the adaptive cruise engaged when I hit quite a large puddle which brought up the message in the TFT screen between the speedo...

I had the Golf serviced today. I thought the service intervals were every 10k miles but the service indicator was reset and when I got home I checked the service page on the MIB and it reckons the next service is due in 9300 miles. I only drove home, which is about 50 miles, so why has the...

Just had this pop up on my YouTube homepage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTGp6PW7JxA

My two other cars.

Check out this UK (Euro wide?) MkV GTI advert......https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hj86TnXpgE LOL

Search Button hasn't brought many mention of the GTE up, so thought I'd create a new thread to ask if anyone has one, or at the least test driven one. I've only had my Golf since April, so not looking to change it until 2018 at the earliest, but I've been looking at the GTE specs, and I'm really...

The 1980's was my decade, so it has to be the Mk2. Still remember the iconic ads on the box. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JF-KJ5-KNQk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgHlAdSpn7Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z22XV6qpUaM There's only one down side, and that is the fact that the actions...

Just needing my curiosity fed. My car was registered new on 1st Sept 13 with the domed radar, yet I've just been reading an old post from the same day of a new car having been collected, and having the later flat radar housing. Does anyone know when VW changed over from one to other?

Price wasn't mentioned, just an alternative to the use of salt. :p Right, got some good display of aurora overhead, so excuse me. :D

Under-road heating? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowmelt_system

Anyone else finding the official Volkswagen website's 'My Cars' function, bloody poor? Supposed to show you information about your car that is held by VW (like service history), but doesn't. WHAT'S THE POINT OF IT?:confused: Also, it's a bit presumptuous to use the word Cars, rather than Car...

But Christine would end up killing you. :D

Thanks for enlightening me, chaps. UK, and I'd suspect European, spec/built 7s only have that switch on the driver's door.

It's purely elementary, my dear Watson. :D

I have a love of seriously old and incredibly slow cars, and I'd absolutely love to do the 'Old Crocks' London to Brighton Veteran Car Run which is open to pre-1905 cars, and is run every year on the first Sunday in November. So my movie car of choice would have to be Genevieve from the 1953...

That's what I was thinking, but surely that should be on the driver's door? Well it is on my 7. :confused:

@sawthetha, just curious, but what is the double switch ahead of the chrome door release on your passenger-side front door?

I live on a very small island with a large population of rabbits. Well on the drive home from work today I had a rabbit run across the road at such a close distance from the front of the car that I was unable to do anything other than twat it. No obvious signs of damage to the car, and it drives...

Currently have 205/55/16 Continental Contact Premium 5 tyres fitted to the Golf. Car has done 9400 miles, so they are clearly the original factory set, as I bought the car with just 4046 miles on the clock back in April. Tyres are fine at the moment, but I'm just wondering what size I can...

Been looking through this forum and on Google for quite some time now, in order to figure out what rear suspension my car is sitting on, and I'm honestly no more informed than I was before I started. I've read on here a thread of a UK market 2013 estate with the 122PS 1.4TSI engine having the...
