Broken down Golf .

[Sunny43.5]

I just came back from the Sunshine Coast to southside of Brisbane and was confronted with a line of cars stopped
on the Gateway Bridge , right at the very highest part of the bridge was some poor sod whose Golf had given up the ghost blocking one lane . I was half tempted to stop and offer to see if he wanted so help to push it over the railing into the river .

Are we assuming it was a Mk7? Otherwise you've posted in the wrong forum.

If it was, I'd like to see the warranty claim after your offer of help. Cause of death: gravity.

umm...I bet they either ran out of fuel or put petrol in there new never before owned diesel..!! seen it far too may times now...VDUB...

Or the 'Door Ajar' indicator was showing, so they were waiting for a tow.

Seen that one a few times.

If in doubt, read the manual.

Apologies guys I am not a Golf owner but have been following the plight of Golf owners it was a general observation from like minded VW owner myself , sorry about the wrong one as I could not tell which model was broken down . Here is where I put on my dunce cap I could not tell you the difference between the last 3 models sorry . Oh Admin feel free to move it to an appropriate listing . If it was new I would doubt they would have got that far on wrong fuel .

oh they do..u would be suprised..fill the tank with petrol when its half empty and drive it for 30km on a fuel mix until they distroy the whole fuel system...

Supposedly the new Golf 7 has a "Incorrect Fuel Filling Prevention" system on the TDI, so hopefully that might mitigate some of these breakdowns !

Where there's a will, there's a way unfortunately.
