    New 3.2 V6 owner

    Hi all Newbie alert first post, picked up an 04 3.2 V6 last week which has brought the smile back to my face which had long gone with my previous Golf GTI 1.8T (which to be fair served me pretty well) It's an S-line DSG and am really pleased after some initial reservations about the auto box...
