    Wash windscreen only

    According to the manual (Page 63) the only way to turn off the headlight washers is to turn off the dipped headlights. As a safety feature, it is always on and operates with the windscreen washer system. I think on previous models it was controlled by how much pressure you applied to the...

    Next model A3

    I dunno, maybe i was expecting too much from all the hype about the next model Golf, but it just seems to be a bit safe. I appreciate that a lot of work must of gone on in regards to efficiency and under the skin stuff, but to me its more of a Golf MK 7.5. I had visions of a radical move to...

    Rear ended.....

    That was the first thing my eyes were drawn to when i saw it. And maybe the boot lid could do with a tweak like you say. Trouble is, once you know its not quite right, it can start to niggle and keep thinking about it. Apart from that, looks like a good job done, especially the colour match...

    2.0 TFSI, With/Without Quattro and DSG

    Having recently purchased a '10 2.0T Quattro BE with DSG I would say go for DSG too. As a whole power train package it's awesome. Foot down and forget about it. Works really well. Ok, if you have driven manuals for a long time, it can take some adjusting of your driving style. But soon you...

    Juddering at idle

    Same on my TDi 130. Been doing it for quite a while now, on and off. More noticable on a downhill slope than any other time. Apart from that it drives fine. Sort of put up with it for 6 months, as its not all the time. Dont think Temperature effects it, in my case.
