G'day There, Im from sydney, am interested in the new Golf Mk6 model GTI trying to get a feel for this kind of product before doing the leap and buying one. May the feel and owners experiences sway me in to join this badge for a long time to come. Cheers

New Dubber

Hello folks,
First time VW owner. Golf MK VI Diesel 2.0 TDI, Sports Pack, and few other cosmetic accessories. Central Coast owner who is enjoying the new car experience. Upgraded from a 92 Ford that had more miles on than I got grey hairs. (And that's a lot)

New GTI owner

Gday Guys, Had my GTI for about 2 weeks now, living in south west Syd, and loving every second in it!!

It has a stack of mods: APR chip, fmic, hpfp, KW type 2 suspension, Milltek turbo back quad exhaust, H&R sway bars, A Peloquin LSD, Neuspeed short shift kit, upgraded clutch, carbon fiber cold air intake, and 18's.

But with all these mods, not only is it HUGE fun, it also has a huge amount of Torque which happily decided to rip off my front exhaust mount and now makes a horrid metal on metal vibration sound in first gear!!! Not happy! I has a dog bone mount, and a lower torque arm mount to help with engine movement, but obviously its still not enough! Got it booked in to a custom exhaust shop at Carlton next week to see what they can make up for it!

But other than that its a top car, tons of fun, and hopefully will have this small hickup sorted very soon!!

See you all on the road!

Safe Driving!

Jetta TSI - Loving it !

I got a MY08 Jetta last year and just love driving it EVERY TIME to get behind the wheel. Performance (DSG), economy, good looking car (silver with sunroof) and has the safety features, entertainment and convenience items which make long trips wonderful. Even with 42k km tyres are still good, though I will be loooking for advice on replacements by Q1 2010.

First Post

Hi All,
GF and I just purchased a second hand crewvan t5, pick up thursday after they wack on some roof racks and a towbar. initial plan is to put in a futon on an elevated base so we can put it to use for various sporting weekends away. Original plan was possibly a kombi beach but need a more flexible interior and not so many creature comforts. Planning on slowly decking out the crewvan as we figure out what we do need before heading off for some longer trips.

Hey guys!

Hi my name's Tim, I'm from Perth - my first car was a 1978 Golf GLS - had it (and loved it) for three years but it got yellow stickered and de-licenced earlier this year. I don't have the money to get it fixed up so now I have to sell it. No one's interested, though, cos the body work's in crap condition.

Mornin'

Hi all, am Dave otherwise known to all and sundry as Squirrel.

Having owned mainly VWs (three Polos - 80, 84 and 9 and Audi Coupes (89 and then a horrible 81 5-cylinder one) back in the UK, i've rejoined the Wolfsburg fold by buying a 1981 Golf GTi that my mate imported about 5 years ago.

Plan is to get this beastie back to its former glory - the hard yards are already done, it just needs tidying up.

Will be hitting you up for advice in the near future. Cheers!
