Hi all Some of you may have read that I recently had a stone chip on my windscreen which led to the screen been replaced. I went through the insurance and duly got the screen replaced by the AA. The guy came out and mentioned my camera, no problem he said, we do these all the time, but just...

I've discovered a noise with my GTD - I've become quite fond of it. Just above 2000 rpm just above 30 mph there is a whoosh, can't explain it, I take it this is the turbo??? It's almost mechanical in sound - i like it - anyone else noticed it? James

Title says 62 - should be 61! Okay this is not indicative or a true reflection but MPG - probably due to warmer weather and bedding - is improving. Quick drive round town - with some carefully used cruise control managed to see it climb to 60mpg Since tank refuel on Friday it's sitting at 52...

I wanted to hear back from UK drivers who are running an E Golf - what's your experience etc etc. James

So I borrowed a VCDS cable and decided to do some mods. I must have read thousand different threads lol but I had a few things I wanted to do. Mainly - i'd like to know what the blower is doing when air con is on auto. it's not much but i thought, it's quite annoying, I would like know what...

Quick question As the title says really, I see App Connect is now a £100 option in the UK - I was wondering if this was some kind of firmware tweak or it was a different unit? I was hoping given the price, it would be the former and if so, could dealers be persuaded to do this. Or does it...

I went to the dealership and was allowed to play with this http://www.golfmk7.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10562

So I have test driven the Golf GTE. Was allowed to play around with one today. I've wanted to drive one for a long time and despite reservations about the concept this was the car that I'd seriously thought about buying or waiting for when i purchased my GTD. Firstly, in the flesh or the...

So what do people think? Again, some of the config details are being finalised, offers a manual but shows a DSG, i thought they were ll going to be DSG in the UK? http://www.volkswagen.co.uk/new/golf-estate-vii/configure/engine/2142/2145 Personally, I think it's a pretty desirable thing, it...

Golf Alltrack now on UK Website - I think they are still finalising some of the details but i notice it's also available to order at Online Brokers http://www.volkswagen.co.uk/new/golf-estate-vii/configure/engine/2149/2150 It's expensive but I do like it, wonder if it is more style over...

If anyone can put that much power through the front wheels than Honda can but I feel 4WD would be more useful and I suspect it's engineering and costs that mean it's not included. No doubt this car has potential - in the UK the previous Type R never quite lived up to the one before it which...

I discovered how damn useful emergency brake assist is - I braked as a little old lady came round a blind bend on a small Devon lane at high speed, I would have stopped but as i slammed on the brakes i felt the car push the brakes on even harder. Actually very impressed. So not so much what I...

How do we know it's a testament to the advances of FWD - no ones driven it yet and the version they did awesome laps in was preproduction - minus a few bits with the addition of a roll cage. It's quick but what would a Golf R do if allowed? There is potential for genius but it is a very...

It's a very particular type of 'hot hatch' - it's not really competing with the likes of the Golf R - they will certainly run group tests invoking the R, Civic Type R and Focus RS but they are different cars. I am always amazed how a car is released and people immediately start debating it as a...
