Hi all, I have a GTI PP. I'll be changing the spark plugs myself very soon. 1) I just wanted to know if this will cause any dash lights (e.g. Engine light) to come on? 2) Also I was thinking of cleaning the MAF module sensor by taking it off, again will this cause an engine light to come on...

Hi all, Firstly, please note that this issue is NOT about the 'fish bite' or 'heart beat'. Now when the car is at idle (in neutral), I can feel vibrations/slight shudder in the cabin pretty much consistently. It basically has a rough idle. When I had the engine running at idle, I opened up...

Hi all, This may be a silly question; does the oil dipstick measure 1 quart (1 litre) of oil capacity between highest and lowest point on the dipstick?

Hi all, Front near side rubbery squeak noise occurs when: -Going over a partial speed bump. -driving slow speeds. -when braking (moderate force). VW changed the shock absorber, but noise still persists. They found the tie rod end rubber seal cracked, replaced that too but noise still...

Hi all, I have a golf gti PP 2016. When I driver over a partial speed bump at low speeds, the front left side of the suspension makes a 'rubbery squeak' noise. It also makes this noise when I brake hard. So I got the shock absorber replaced underwarranty. However, the noise still persists...

Hi all, I have a 2016 gti DSG. When I come to a complete stop at the lights, in drive (with the auto hold on) i feel vibration coming through the car/ steering wheel. It's idle is not smooth, however the rev needle doesn't move. But when I select neutral or park, it's smooth. Any ideas?

Hi all, I have a 2016 gti DSG. When I engage the brake/clutch pedal, I get a a few moments of gargle noise. Any ideas?

Hi all, I have a 2016 GTI DSG with 19inch wheels. When E-brake is on and then when I tap the throttle and it starts to set off/roll forward, the car seems ever so slightly to struggle as if it's going to stall. It's not smooth (whether on flat or hill). Any ideas?

Hi all, I have a 2016 Golf GTI PP with 7k on the clock. At 4K, it developed a clunk/knocking noise when I wiggle the steering wheel left and right and when parking. I took it VW and they replaced the steering column. But the noise still persists. Please see my video on YouTube-...

Hi all, Is anyone from South Wales? Was thinking of organising a car meet.

Hi all, I have a 2016 Golf GTI PP with 4k miles. Recently I've noticed that when I turn my steering wheel left and right while parking, I hear a light clunk sound coming from the steering wheel column. The noise is only heard from the inside. Any ideas?

Hi all, I've got a MK7 GTI Performance Pack. I needed to top-up the coolant, the coolant on the engine bay says 'G13'. I went to halfords and they recommended me 'Comma G40'. Is this coolant liquid ok to put in?

Hi all, I have a buzzing sound at certain RPM (3k+). It is coming from the console area (mode buttons, cupholders). It sounds like very thin metal vibrating, like a metallic buzz. Any ideas?

Hi all, I bought a brand new MK7 GTI DSG Performance Pack. The car only had 10 miles on the clock and I got way too excited. So when driving off the dealership and driving through town towards the highway, I got to a set of traffic lights, ahead was an open straight road. I selected ‘sport...
