Hi.

Into my second month with my new R32. I have always been a holden owner, Statesman's, SS's, all V8s. I drove a GTI about 12 months ago and was considering buying it for my wife but it all got a bit too hard with financing etc and I really wasn't keen on a four cylinder. So recently took a test drive of an R32 just on a whim and was completely blown away by the power and the note. Couldn't get hold of one quick enough. Available in WA at the time were black ones only which I'm not a fan of. So an internet search turned up an ex demo in NSW, deal done. I would like to give the motor a little tweak, nothing too serious and would welcome anyones advice as to who in Perth you can trust these machines with including general servicing. Im in south east Perth but will travel to where ever for the right service. Also it came with the GPS system which is lame as. Does anyone know of where you can get a better one fitted?

Two new additions to the Garage

Hi All,
Well last June I purchased an 09 EOS 103 TDi for the wife and have been its keeper and driver when I can wrest it from her. Absolutely love this car.
Did the Krytox thing, ran it in as a diesel should, ( had new turbo diesels in boats in a past life ) and as it was the first European car we have owned since the early 90's I was really surprised by the quality. (Holden Commodore SS's the last 12 years).

So when my left shoulder gave out and gear changing on the Manual SS on the M2 in the morning was becoming extremely painful, I decided to buy the Golf 103 TD 09 build week before last.
Have run it now over 8 days and its a great car. Wife has now taken a shine to it, the Golf that is, and the possibility of taking the Eos to work and back are looking good.

Seriously though, both cars are great and as far coming down from a 6 litre V8 to the 2 litre diesel, is a non issue as the Eos being able now to be opened up gets off the mark quick enough. I expect the Golf the better as it weighs in close to 200 Kg less.

Only issue is the two keys look very much alike ( there is slight colour difference in the VW logo) so a small cable tie to the chrome loop fixed that.

Hopefully I can contribute to the forum in the future.

Hi

I'm hoping to buy a Tiguan TDI very soon. I'm a little unsure as to what features are great to have & what would just be nice.

Hoping this forum will be great to learn & contribute.

Hello

I have recently discovered the new Golf GTI and am now in the market to purchase. To help me find out more about this car I went googling I found your fantastic website. Just reading the commentary from many of you has been entertaining and informative. Keep up the great work guys.

New Here - looks good

Peter here, driving a white R36 wagon and living in Sydney. Had it 13 mths and done 37,000kms and very happy.

The quest for finding first set of replacement tyres (still got about 5,000 to 10,000 kms left on originals) and a running rich/burning oil query got me searching and found me here and there's lots of interesting information and useful, friendly chat.

So, hi to everyone.
