Re: The New 2014 Polo (Brochure)

Ok cool thank you for that. DTD coming in at just over £3000 cheaper than list price for me, thats including the £1,000 from VW finance as well. Now ive just got to find a dealer that may be willing to match it.. Why waste time shopping around for a DTD match? Just order through them. You'll have t...

they are oiled when manufactured but are a dry gearbox !

the tiguans and tourags which have the alternate 7 speed dsg are the ones being recalled !
The clutch is dry. The gear box definitely has oil in.

Re: Polo GTI recall (DSG 7)

Heard about this back along but seemed to be only in warmer climes. Interesting to see if I or anyone else gets contacted.

Re: New New car - Now Shadow Blue GTI

Refuse the car and walk away. It doesn't make any difference if they're happy to refund. The sale of goods act is on your side.

Re: Advice on lights

I've got LED sides too, just ebay ones. I don't think there is much between the Philips/osram tbh. I rate the osrams who are the VW OEM manufacturer too.
