Hi All,

Just wanted to introduce myself as Dane, a new entrant to the VW club. Were about to take delivery of a 2010 VW Passat R36 Wagon, stepping out of our 2007 Subaru Liberty Wagon.

Looking forward to a lot more power and a lot more fun!

Regards,
Dane

Greetings all fellow VDubbers,

I have been involved with watercooled VW's for the past thirty years.

My first was a '76 Scirocco which I bought used in the mid-eighties. I always loved the look of them after I'd seen them in Europe and they were (and largely still are) virtually unknown in this country.

My Scirocco was one of the original six brought to this country by VW in 1976(?) to evaluate for sale in this market. I still have it and it's an unfinished project and am thinking of finding it a good home (i.e. selling it) as I've run out of space, time and energy to continue. It's in running order,body restored but needs a complete paint job. Has many technical mods (incl new Audi 2l motor,factory fuel injection, Quaife diff, GTI close ratio 5-sp box, original Bilstein Scirocco gas shock/spring package, etc, etc) and is light, fast and handles well.

I recently sold my restored 77 GolfI coupe for the same reasons: was sorry to see it go! Owned another 77 Golf 4-door before that but it was written-off in a rear-ender.

My daily driver is a 1990 GolfII GTI which has served me well and faithfully since 1998: it has clocked up 250k kms without any major repairs and is rust-free and still delivers good fuel economy although the motor is quite tired. If all cars were like this one, car- makers would be out of business.

We also own an '07 GolfV GTI which is a briiliant car and a great drive.

2007 Golf GTI Black on Black!

Hi guys,

I have just purchased a 2007 Black Golf GTI.

I bought the manual version without test driving the DSG.. i thought about getting the DSG, but then my wife would have a reason to drive my car, so i got the manual instead!

I am from Melbourne..

I haven't picked up the car yet as its getting serviced and detailed by the dealer.

Hi guys,

Am on the brink on purchasing a new 2010 GTI when they hit the floors within the next couple of weeks. Definitely going the DSG but am wondering if the xenons are really worth it?

Any thoughts?

Cheers,
Gonad

Hi Guys,
Picked up my new Golf Comfortline TSi 118 in United Grey about 3 weeks ago after along 4 months wait. My very first VW! Couldn't resist the options and accessories, end up with the sport package with Black Vienna Leather and must say I love the ride!.....can't believe how much the car loves the corners! Also like the 17" Alloys and static corning light function.
Also opted for the Sunroof, Rear View Camera, with rear parking sensors, Sat Nav with Dynaudio Excite with Media Device Interface and Premium Bluetooth and finally Euro Plates. I'm a little overwhelmed by all the technology, it's exciting and distracting but the more I drive car the more I like it. The DSG auto gear box is taking a bit getting used to, having a problem with the car running backwards as I accelerate, VW service department say this is normal just need apply the hand brake on most hills, I'm not sure what's going on here but I'm going to call into VW and make sure all is OK. Also a slight rattle under the bonnet, maybe this is normal to. I Love my new Golf it's blown me away, can't stop looking at after parking it......a little embarrassing in public!

Hi everyone

first post here - I own a 07 Golf 2.0 TDI DSG and am looking at replacing my Mazda tribute with a Skoda Superb (Super bee) Elegance 2.0 TDI

I am particularly interested in the options I can get, I wanted park assist and side window blinds but the dealer seems to think it will take 4 months to get one..which is a bit of a bummer.

I am also interested in the columbus system with a full phone set up that will work with a blackberry bold

Hi Everyone

Hey everyone, just posting for the first time. I've got a 1.8 20v mk4, I think I'm dumping close to 3k into it for repairs and maintenance but I got it for a fairly decent price (so I tell myself )

About to get the rear lock regulator replaced, have just put some new Sachs struts in the front.

catch ya

[Golf4]

....I think the mk4 service costs paid for the VI development

Hey People

I currently own a Subaru so I am here to do a bit of learning and reading as I really like the Golf VR6s, I am considering one for my next car.

Cheers
