Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

    I remember a figure of 45 hours to build the Mk5 while the Mitsubishi 380 was around 19 hrs. I always thought the detachable door skins would cost assembly time compared with the traditional way, but having never looked at a Mk6 close enough, I have no idea what else VW did to save production costs.
    If my memory serves me correctly, I remember reading somewhere that they reduced the component count in the dash by 35+ parts in the Mk6 compared to the Mk5.

    The mk6 Golf body is less expensive to build yet has an even higher quality feel and greater refinement. This was done by streamlining the manufacturing process and simplifying electronics and assembly modules. The number of pieces and complexity of assembly was reduced and more laser welding process was used. Reviews have stated that the stiffer chassis has resulted in better handling/comfort, everything else being equal.

      Just took my car for a blue slip MK6 Tdi 1.6l 77kw and was told two injectors leaking on the outside (numbers 3 and 4), where can i source a couple of replacements or can these be repaired?
