  1. Golf MK7 / 2015 and up
    It's a 2014 1.6 TDI Blue Motion automatic. Been down to the village (only 6 kilometres) for a little shopping and 3 minutes into the journey back home the message that the engine was overheating flashed up. A glance at the gauge showed 120+ degrees. Turned the heater up and blower on full. Gauge...
  2. GTI MK4 / 1999-2005
    Hello everyone, I'd definitely go with the 1.8T for tunability (Don't know if that's a word lol), unless you're really after that glorious VR6 sound. I got mine with 150k on it, put 20k on it and only had to replace a wheel mobdro.bio/ bearing and the very common coil pack. I have yet to have...

  4. VW CC Technical Forum
    Hi All, Wondering if anyone can share any wisdom on the above title! My 2009 CC, out of the blue, now believes the boot lid is open when it is not, meaning my camera will not open. I know it is a common problem for boot to not open either manually or with the key but that all works fine...

    Hi, I bought a Bora at auction in Sydney and drove it home to Coffs Harbour today, It's 2004, Motor Sport Wolfsburg. I only bought as an interim, but I'm so impressed I think I'll keep it.

  7. VW Rabbit MKV Forum 2006/2007/2008/2009
    My mirror just popped right out as I was leaving home. I did not even know at first. I heard a noise and thought it was some stuff in the back of the car rattling around. My brother found my mirror on the ground shattered in three pieces. Is this a common thing? Anyone else have this happen...

    Has anybody replaced the headlamp bulb? My CC has blown another on the near side, however the last one i put in was a Halfords unit (£90) and its been approx 12 months. Does anybody know if this is a common fault or just poor bulbs and if so what would the VW community recommend. :c&b:
  9. Jetta / Bora MK4 / 1999-2004
    This has happened a few times during the past 12 months, always in the same spot. Going uphill and pretty much letting off the gas and coasting on an off-ramp, the engine cuts out for maybe 2 seconds. When I step on the gas, the engine catches and keeps going like nothing happened. Today, on a...

    Good day all, I have a 2005 Jetta MK5 which the original factory stereo. However the button covers are falling off/peeling and getting sticky - common from what I've read. Anyway, I came across a 2010 Jetta touchscreen stereo at my local junkyard. Nice looking unit, but will it work in my...

    I plan a trip to Detroit to visit some friends. Because I am interested in Volkswagen Passat for quite a while I would like to rent a Passat 2015/2016 for roughly a week to find out whether the Passat can get a member of my family or not. ;) Unfortunately, the common car rental companies do not...

    Can a bad inner CV joint be replaced with a good used one from another shaft? I had tranny fluid leak from the differential seal and thin out the grease on the one that went bad. When I took the bad cv joint off the axle I want to use with a different proven, used inner CV joint, the was a...

    I have a 2010 Jetta, the check engine light is on. The codes were for 3 misfires. I had it checked again today because my EPC light came on and it now is misfiring on all 5! It seems to be common from what I've read on the internet. But no one has stated a solution. I've read mass flow sensor...
