Since owning my car I have had two bulbs fail on me (well, one blown headlight bulb and a brake light bulb that had only fell out of its socket) and each time the Vehicle Status has highlighted exactly which bulb was at fault. The problem I have at the moment is a "Vehicle Lighting Fault" that...

Hi all, my car has just been back to the Dealer after my starter motor was "running on" for a couple of seconds after cold starts. Turns out it has a manufacturing defect and is being replaced under warranty :(. They also carried out a full car check-up which did not show up any other faults...

Had a few people ask me what the various electrical noises are in my car (so must be noticeable). Just wondering if anyone knows what specific items start up at each of the following times. 1) after you have opened your door for first time in morning there is a 3 or 4 second continuous...

Has anyone signed up for VW Ensurance as it is now offered free for 3 years for VW customers. You have to call them first (not your actual insurance company) if you have an accident, and they make sure your car goes to a VW dealer for repairs and genuine parts etc. They supply a courtesy car and...

Only done 250 miles so far and was surprised when a message on MFD warned to check my brake light bulb.

Hi all... Picked up my SE in Pacific Blue this morning, thought I'd share some pics.:) Also attached pics of before and after fitting exhaust trims. I will share my views on ownership soon, but on first days driving I'm well pleased.

Sorted the 7 day insurance today. Tried to do it via web but the link on my welcome pack from VW wasn't there anymore (must be old pack), so had to phone them, not a problem with that but I knew they would try to sell me full insurance. And yes they gave me a quote, but were not at all pushy...

As my SE arrived at dealer the other day, so I shot across there to sort out the paper work and take a few snaps. Noticed that VW have changed the Radar on our 63 plate Golfs, its flat not domed as previous version. All set up for collection 1st September.:D

Just had a delivery update on my SE 1.4 TSI ordered on 6th june from my sales guy at VW Derby. Last week on the online tracker it was "in transit" (which is now down for maintenance) he says its awaiting crossing to UK from the docks at Emden in Germany and will be with them last week in august...
