    Oil consumption 2014 golf R

    I'm tempted to be fair, I've heard they cam be problematic and it's the original one so it's not done too bad I suppose. I'm just hoping it's nothing more but it's getting slightly worse over the last few months.

    12 year corrosion warranty

    Spoke to a vw specialist yesterday and he thinks this will be as common as the mk5 wings again due to a foam pad inside the wing liner holding moisture. He reckons the only way to stop the wings from going again is to replace them. As for the rears they just need to be repaired and hope for the...
