Hi guys, I've changed my whole clutch kit (Pressure plate, DMF, clutch disk, ToB) after i had the famous "hoot" when launching off in 1st gear. All good ,but now, i have a big clunk when i change gears. It usually happens when i take off in 1st but also in 2nd, 3rd, etc, less felt in highe...

So I wrapped my dash trim in white carbon effect vinyl. Saved the head unit fascia till last, took it off (with great difficulty) only to find that the silver chrome looking trim around the top air vent is not removable, so if I did wrap it then it would look odd as the vinyl would mold to the groo...

Plastidipped my wing mirrors and R-Line front grille logo in matte black.
Came out better than expected.

Mine has been doing it for the past 8-9 months ,but didn't really noticed it till some time ago. First time I heard it was last winter. Guess i'll go and dissasamble the whole gearbox and inspect everything. If all is fine, I'll change only the throw-out bearing. (in Romanian it's translated as pres...

Hi guys, for some time now I'm facing this sound when the engine is cold and throw it in first gear to go off. When I lift the clutch pedal slightly, the re is a metalic hum noise, just when you feel the clutch grabbing. I've found some videos with Golf 6 GTIs facing the same problem and they say it...

Took a nice shot in my parking-lot, few days ago

Same here, but i always had a thing for the Rocco. And the gti is...just another golf

Could be the dreaded fuelline rattle. It does run a bit high. 1200rpm idleing with a warmed up engine is high. Mine sits at around 1000rpm after a cold start and settles in at 800rpm after warmup.

I nearly spat my coffee reading your post SciroccoPL since my cousin just bought a Golf 6 GTI He's 22. So pretty accurate statement.

For some reason this post appeared as unread for me and highlighted "as new".

My bad for digging up old posts, sorry.

From my knowledge, the Rocco is EOL this year in september. Maybe that's why dealers are not selling it anymore...

Hi just an update on this, I've now had it into the dealership twice and it hasn't fully solved the rattling problem. The first time they lubricated rubber mounts and anti roll bar, this made no difference at all. the second time they removed trim around radio unit and centre vents, removed radio u...

Ok, so here's an update. I cut the screw holding the tailight an found out that the plastic piece with the thread for the screw was ripped of. I used some poxipol and glued it back, but it won't hold. Found a used tailight for 18 quid, mint condition, will arrive on friday...

That damned screw won't let me sleep at night. Still haven't got it out.
I've searched around the interwebs, nobody has a solution...

HELP

I do mostly city driving and get around 11-13L/100km (that's 20-18mpg) I don't drive it that hard, i mean i do have some full throttle sprints but mostly you're stuck in traffic. Mixed driving, i average around 8-9L/100km (around 30mpg) but it gets driven quite happily. My best effort was 5.8L/100km...

Just bought a set of BF Goodrich G-Grip summer tires. Read a lot of reviews around and these seem great for my budget. First, I wanted to get the Kumho Ecsta LE Sport KU39, or Ecsta KU71, but they seemed noisy and wet grip is not very good. Gonna have them mounted on my Interlagos in a few days. Any...

I'm coming with an update. It seems that the culprit are the bushings and most of the rubber grommets around the car. It's normal, and the stiff suspension amplifies the sound. I might have been a bit too paranoid about it... The issue i have now: I can't undo that tail light screw. Tried pulling an...

Did the same to mine, it only lasted for a few weeks, till the silicone dried up and they're squeaking again.

Still no luck with the rattles...gotta find a willing garage to take a look at this and not tell me it's normal because of the roads we have here (awful ones that's for sure).

Here in Romania, they'll say it's normal wear and tear...

That's exactly what happens to me.

I did some asking around and i tend to think it's related to the shocks/springs and bushings.
