118k klms is nothing for a well looked after 2 litre Amarok. Try to get some idea of where those klms where done though. If it’s lots of highway or country road driving then you’re laughing. If it’s...
Spacers will change the mechanical forces on suspension components which will fall outside manufacturers specs and may cause damage due to increased forces over time. I’m not aware of any modern...
About 3 years ago I toyed with the idea of swapping the Wunder Wagon for an Amarok so we could buy a second hand camper trailer and go camping more often. I didn’t do it then but a recent health...
Selling my MY 18 Wolfsburg Wagon for $55k negotiable.
See add below for full details.
I’m about to do its first service and I’ve just paid for another years rego. Also has 4 years dealer...
VW cars in Aus have been well priced against UK versions for a long time. At first UK cars look cheaper but they come with nothing in them. By the time you option up all the things we get included -...
I really don’t understand why people want sunroofs in this country. In the UK maybe (I did enjoy the one on my Mk 2 Golf) but not in heat riddled Australia.
We got given a free sunroof on our...
Although my last post was somewhat in jest, I would point out that my car interior is a painful 80dB when doing 110 kph on the rougher sections of the Hume. If that’s your listening environment, then...
I would use whichever one is easiest for you to do.
Given the quality of even Bluetooth audio these days I hardly think it’s worth worrying about big lossless files. If I can’t tell the...
Looking at a camping vehicle so trying to research the Amarok. Having trouble getting onto the Ausamarok forum for nearly a week. Anyone know what the go there is? I know they’ve had issues with...
Manual might make a return with Mk 8 but wait and see. The main reason for manual going off the table is the new testing rules making it impractical to homologise/adapt/test so many variants in a...
If anyone wants a Polo, Golf or Passat diesel, get it soon (very soon) and plan on keeping it for years because VW will stop making them. That’s if they haven’t stopped already...
Thanks DKC. I’ll leave mine alone or get a proper cat back system. Looks like the wagon system may not work as well due to not having flaps.
That said, did it drone on the freeway in ECO mode? I...
Thanks danielb_c. Probably the most sensible answer I will get :)
I’ll do it when I get some free time and report back.
Forgive me for not going back through all 447 pages of the my 7 R thread (I’m calling for it to be locked as it’s making the forum unusable) so I’m going to start a new thread on something.

You’ve indirectly answered your own question. You wouldn’t plug it in at home. It would be plugged in at work. Plus, you won’t need to charge every car fully every day.
Looks like the rumours are firming up on a Mk 8 Golf R with 300 kW. Carsales have an article on it today.
VW, if you are listening, make it in wagon form as well please.
I wouldn’t waste my money on a C63 (or an M3) Two mates at work have them. Neither can get the power down in the dry never mind the wet. One secretly wishes he bought a C43 instead, but he gave so...
That’s easy - turn turn your headlights on and the DRLs turn off...
Why on earth would you want to turn them off anyway? They are a safety feature. Just put the light switch on auto and forget...
Good comments.
Feedback on the bad:
1. Also have some issues with bluetooth but mine is the album art freezing on the screen and not moving onto the next song. Very intermittent but very...
That might explain why, on two occasions, I thought I’d grounded the rear pipes when reversing, only to get out and find no damage...
This a well known issue with the hatch. Which is why I bought a wagon :)
We had a Passat 135 which worked beautifully with its DSG. It drove just like a slush box and was perfectly tuned for the torque delivery of the engine. That said, it was driven as a family car and...
Triple agree on Dynaudio. It is brilliant. It cacks all over any other standard car stereo I’ve ever heard. It makes the Bose in my wife’s CX-9 sound awful.
If blind spot assist is the one that lights up in the wing mirror, I must admit I don’t find it useful in the Golf at all. I’ve never seen it lit when I couldn’t see a car in the wing mirror. My...
