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.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before.
We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

Noticed it amplified off barriers etc , when loading the engine - from 1500-2000 rpm or so.Last edited by Mountainman; 12-07-2013, 09:44 AM.Nov '15 Polo 81TSI manual white

~400ml per 1000km isn't great, although not unheard of. The manual does allow for a very high oil consumption rate for the first 10,000km or so (well - it did in the Mk6; take a look at your owner's manual and see what it says); VW engines do have a habit of consuming a lot early on, and subsequently using little or none.2008 MkV Volkswagen Golf R32 DSG

Mine is now near 3000km and hasn't used a drop. After the 1L / 3000km of my Mk6 I've kept a close watch. This new Mk7 is just such a different car compared to my Mk6. There is not one thing that isn't better- it's faster, more economical, roomier, quieter, better riding, much better equipped, was $ thousands cheaper & not so much as a buzz, squeak or strange annoying noise. So you've got to love that. So now turbo, don't crap yourself.....Nov '15 Polo 81TSI manual white

Voice Recognition not working? 103TSi
Guys,
Having problems getting my voice dialing to work. Pressing the VOICE button on the receiver or the steering wheel only mutes my radio..
No help menu or anything else pops up on the display. Any help?
I'm connected via bluetooth on a HTC One (android).

VW Australia have ETA of mid July for the clip to arrive. You should go to your dealer and tell them about it, the more people who bring it to their attention, the quicker they will act on it.
Update: My rattle happens between 1600-2000rpm, most obvious when accelerating, and only when the engine is warmed up.Last edited by Eaglehawk; 16-07-2013, 08:49 AM.
