I assume you got this sorted since it was a couple of years ago but I was curious?

I have a similar problem, found a pipe with the end snapped off leaving a hole similar to what you describe.
...

Well I looked up the part number on the Bosch plugs.
Both it and the NGK part number are listed as replacements for the OEM VW number.
No idea how that works but I'm guessing if any catastrophic...

Had another go, got 3 coil packs out this time and replaced the 4th.
New plugs are slightly different to the old ones - at the end of the thread, they are longer:
...

OK I might try it again with the engine warmer, but I'm fairly confident it won't work, judging by how easily the coil separates from the tube.

I was so happy with how easy oil changes are to do...

Trying to remove the coil packs on a Mk7 90TSI 1.4L, so that I can replace the spark plugs.

I have the VW tool (with the shaft that inserts into the bolt hole and then expands when you wind it...

OK, it looks like this is one to steer clear of then.

Diesel is out because 99% of the driving is city driving, the car would only see a highway trip once every few months.
I'll definitely have...

Helping a friend find a car and have found one that seems to tick a lot of boxes. It's a 2018 Golf Mk7.5 110tsi Comfortline, only 36,000kms:

I realise this question has...

OK I know this is an old thread but just to follow on... The car is now due for the 90,000km service. The VW schedule says "Toothed belt: Inspect belt at 90,000km" but then the next thing on the list...

Indeed, the prices sellers are asking seem to be higher on the whole than what the "book value" is, but in my experience the book value is usually quite generous.
However that does surprise me in...

$11k easily gets a lower mileage example of a Mk6, seems to be quite tricky with a Mk 7.

I think I can negotiate a bit, but not a lot really.

It has been mostly highway km which is why I...

Thanks for that clarification, I didn't know about that. Are there many other differences?

Looking at getting the following car:

2014 Golf 90TSI
Manual
130,000km (about two thirds is highway driving)
$11,000 (may be able to negotiate a bit)

Is that too many km for that car? Lower...

Thanks for that link.

Doesn't the 1.4 TSI use a timing chain? Or am I thinking of an older engine?

So the coolant, gearbox oil, water pump, never need to be replaced?
I guess my point is that I'm wondering if there is a service schedule that details all of those "inspect and report" things as...

So there's no official schedule from VW available? Not that I doubt what you've said is accurate, but it's not really a comprehensive list...

Is it a simple 'plug and play' procedure to upgrade from MIB1 Composition to MIB2 Discover, just by swapping out the head unit and associated glovebox parts?

Does anyone know of a service schedule for the 90TSI Mk 7?
I know the pricing info is available on VW's website but I want a list of what is actually meant to be done at each service.

Also, what...

In regards to Golf vs Octavia - a 2009 Golf has a 5 star safety rating, a 2009 Octavia has a 4 star rating. Any idea why?

OK... my instinct tells me that an engine that goes through two water pumps in 175k hasn't been designed anywhere near as well as it should have. But I'll still keep an open mind...

forgive my...

Thanks for that.
I assume that being a 1.8 litre, it is a different engine from that found in the Golf which I thought was the 1.4 litre twin charge version? Even though they are both 118TSI.
Is it...

Thanks, I've sent you a PM.

I will certainly be visiting some dealers, but the issue is in Canberra that there isn't actually a lot of choice in cars - plenty of Golf's for example but not a manual 90TSI so makes it hard to get...

Ok any thoughts on Octavia vs Golf?
I assume because it is a wagon it wouldn't handle as well?
And also be slower and higher fuel consumption because it'd be heavier?

(Not that they'd be deal...

Thanks for the reassuring advice!

What does 'bulletproof' mean in VW speak? Cheap and reliable daily driver, or just that it won't leave you stranded somewhere?

I understand that a VW won't...

If the car was for myself, I wouldn't think twice about a GTi, but I don't think it's necessary in this case. Also because of budget, it's need to be a mk5.
That being said, I've no issue with test...
