So today I visited my dealer for first oil service. When they checked VIN number there were two recall actions pending: one to replace the lubricant/grease for the sunroof opening mechanism (yep, I was surprised too...), the second one was a software update. It went nearly smooth... I've had to wait...

What exactly can you do in such app?

Wow, nice tip!

I have my GTI for a little over a year now. Three days ago for the first time I received a notification on the dashboard that it's 30 days until I need to change oil. Since then, during each engine start and stop I get similar notification, however number of days left seems to be randomized :o Value...

I've never had a turbo charged car and just wondering how you can tell its turbo charged when you're driving it, apart from it being rather quick. I don't see a turbo button :wink: Turbocharged cars have a "turbo gap". Turbo requires medium to high RPM to kick in, so on low RPM car is a l...

What wax did you use? It looks much darker than mine!

By cold, how cold do you mean? Literally just after you turn the key and try to pull away? All cars no matter what, will run lumpy when they are on choke from a cold start, its easy to tell this as the car idles above 1.1k rpm and once the choke is off it idles around 800 rpm. To stop the lumpiness...

When I'm driving with a cold engine I'm experiencing some kind stuttering, I'm not sure how to explain it, but the engine is working in a little bit jerky, uneven way - especially when going slow on low RPM. After few minutes, when it gets warm, everything works as a charm. Is anyone having similar ...

Bad news :( Today when I was washing my car I found two rock chips :( One on the hood and one on the wind shield :( I've called VW and ordeder a repair kit for my paint colour. I'll probably also visit one of the garages which fixes chips on glass, usually they do a great job. http://i.imgur.com/hXR...

First organised polo meet from the owners club Facebook page. Around 22 polos turned up and turned out to be a cracking day. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1615655315371819/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Haha, in the poll Blue Silk was one of the most popular colors, but was there a single on...

Digressing a bit the second video (now below) seems to show a rather poor 0 -100kph run. The guy sits on the limiter in 1st for a second or so before changing up. I'd have thought the outcome could have been a fair bit quicker. http://youtu.be/QZSYKyq96b8 Those videos are better, imho: DSG: 6.7s ht...

Guys, this exhaust is so sweet, but soooo expensive...

It's the second time I'm getting a "false positive" warning of low tyre pressure. This time it was on a different set of tyres (summer tyres, swapped two weeks earlier - of course I did a reset of tyre pressure). Both times it was while driving on a wet road. Anyone else having similar iss...

Shocked that the blue is joint leading this so far, barely anyone on here seemed to go for it. Most of the ones pictured seem to be white and I've only seen white & black ones on my travels (my blue one aside). I've been posting photos of mine at least a couple of times :) But to be honest, I'm...
