Hi all,

Missus just brought a new MY18 Skoda Octavia RS Wagon in blue. Impressive car! I previously had a MY14 Golf GTI Performance, but this RS is so much better. More tech, more space, similar...

Price drop. Now advertised for $32250.

Regretfully selling my GTI to upgrading to a larger car. Great car, always garaged and well looked after. with relatively low kms.
Full VW service history.

Car is unmodified apart from front...

Yep, I've had quite a few. Water pump replaced 3 times due to leak, fuel pump failed, electric window motor failed, and now the central locking has an issue.

VW customer service is rubbish.
...

Has anyone had a problem with central locking on a Mk 7 Golf?
I've got a GTI PP and this morning when I go to lock the car, I can hear the mechanism click a few times but the drivers door will not...

My GTI PP has done the same thing a couple of time. I wouldn't be too worried about it. The method it uses to calculate low pressure isn't too reliable.

Anyone had a fuel pump fail on them yet? I've got a MY14 GTI, 24000km on the clock and the fuel pump died last week. Drove it in the morning fine, then went to drive it again and was running a little...

I was thinking the exact same thing when I played around with Eco mode in my GTI. When it's 'coasting' its actually using fuel to keep the engine running at idle (although it displays 'eco' instead...

The laboring of the engine is just the cars way of trying to be more efficient. When I fist got my DSG GTI I was surprised at how early it shifts gears and how long it'll try hold onto a gear going...

I've driven my GTI on the Old Pacific Hwy when I was driving to Sydney to Newcastle. Really nice road, lots of turns and was able to give the brakes a good workout. There are however signs warning...

Hi all,
I've got an MY14 GTI PP and its leaking coolant. This is the THIRD time this has happened. On the first two occasions, the dealer replaced the water pump under warranty. They said the first...

Hi,
Wondering if anyone has experienced their Golf leaking coolant?
My GTI started leaking a small amount a few months ago (enough to bring on the check coolant light). Took it into the dealership...

Don,
I don't believe it has anything to do with camera's picking up signs, I think its just programmed into the map in the same way the speed zones are (they also show up on the map).

I don't...

Like this? It means no overtaking in Europe.

Any info on what it is?

G'day all,
Got a question about my MY15 Golf GTI PP.
When I start the car first thing in the morning, it makes a weird whining/grinding sound for about 1-2 seconds after which it disappears. It...

Yep, that's a good deal I reckon. I paid just over $51k for a MY15 with mats, bonnet protector and boot/luggage mat and delivered in 2 weeks

So is that what that noise is? My GTI makes all sorts of 'clicks' and 'whines' after I turn it off.

Is Apple Carplay a thing for new VW's or is it something you can add yourself? I've got a '15 GTI and would be interested in getting it if it's possible

I was in a similar situation before buying a GTI PP. I've had no issues so far (had car for about 10 months). It's a great car, I'm really happy with it.
comparing it to a WRX, I test drove one...

Yep, the NSW white Euro plates fit perfectly to the front number plate surround. I have them on my GTI.
I simply asked the dealer for them a few weeks before I picked the car up. It works out...

Was going to post this in the Stop/Start thread however it's probably more relevant here.
I've noticed this exact same thing with the 6sp DSG in my GTI. If you have a small about of brake applied...

Had a problem with the SS system on my GTI PP ever since I've had it (about 6 months). Like other people on here have said, sometimes when you come to a stop the system won't work at it show an error...

oztadpole,
I've had a PP for about 3 months now and clocked up about 5000km in it. I drive it everyday to work and back (50km round trip). I find the ride to be quite comfortable and the cabin noise...

To back up 'Dawson', I've also received a radio station logo for one of the FM stations in Newcastle, however the logo is nothing like the radio stations actual logo! Wierd. It appeared about 3-4...
