Re: Rear wheel noise.

What tyres have you got on the rear? I had terrible issues with some Dunlop's, I swapped them onto the front to see if I could feel the vibration through the steering wheel and it was quite apparent where the problem lied. The tyres felt awful so had to get some new ones, after I got the new tyres i...

Re: Scirocco gone

I think you should hang around dude. I'm still a member on the TT forum, was ok a few years ago but these things do change. Sorry to hear your scirocco has gone but hopefully you will be happy with the TT, I think that's the one car I would swap my scirocco for. Which one have you gone for?

Great pics Kev, hopefully the weather will be alright for the race but then again a bit of rain never did a race any harm :-)

Re: Tyre warning light

I have fixed the issue, for some strange reason the switch had nothing connected to the back, when I loosened the glove box a small rubber thing fell out. Anyway I connected it all back up and switched on the ignition and hey presto the chime went off followed by the warning light, job well done I t...

Re: Tyre warning light

I pressed it in for 20 seconds or more and the light stayed on, quite frustrating because its such a simple thing.

Tyre warning light

I have just had new front tyres fitted, shortly after I left the garage my tyre warning light came on. I stopped the car checked the pressures and all were ok, I called the garage and they said its common on the newer VW's when you change the tyres. Anyway I read the manual and it advised I go in th...

Re: GT upgrade to an R?

I think it's time to go for a test drive IF I can finds a dealer near me with an R DSG available to drive but something tells me that none of the 4 in striking distance will have one to play with. Time to get on the phone! This is exactly what I did, it totally made my mind up on what to do, the on...

Re: GT upgrade to an R?

Had a 2.0 TSI (stage1 apr) for nearly 3 years and then changed to an R. From the first moment I drove the car it felt different, you would not regret it at all, I plan on doing the same as you and keeping this one roughly 3 years (already had it a year) but with the way things are going at the momen...
