Hi All
Seems like an interesting forum particularly if you're a first time owner of a VW
I bought my car at an auction on impulse I had gone to look at a couple of bmw's but then saw this 4 motion. I knew nothing about them but this car for it's age was in excellent condition. anyway i got it for $10000.00 with 8 months reg and service books. To get it roadworthy took a new set of brake rotors and pads a chip in the windscreen and a new globe for 1 reversing light. I also had a major service done haldex filter and brake fluid replacement. alltogether about $1200.00.
My previous car was a 05 liberty gt but I have to say this car is better in virtually everyway.
I have had it for 6 months and the only fault so far is a noisy lifter when first started but goes away once engine is warm. I also discovered today that the thread has been stripped in the sump plug and some one has used an epoxy repair kit to fix it, probably the vw specialist that charged me $800.00 for the major service.
I would like to have a shorter clutch pedal, the deep clutch together with the long shift in the gear box makes changes a bit slow also I find 1st gear a bit too low ratio for me.
It's the little things than can be quite impressive, like the passenger grab handle has a soft close function or like i noticed the other day when i was defrosting the rear window steam rising from the external mirrors - they're heated.
Anyway I'm thrilled with it and it's not going to be my last Vw
