Just an FYI for anyone interested in tuning/remapping. Pendle Performance UK now has an agent in Sydney. I had my T5.1 Multivan remapped last week. Noticeable improvement in performance and a great price. Have a look on the transporter/Multivan thread to read my full review.

Greetings from Mont Albert.
i just bought a new (ish) Golf R MY16 as a 60th birthday present to myself

I love the car to bits, but as with everything in life, I am sure there are areas for improvement, and this fabulous forum is a big help with this!

Hi all,
Accidental VW owner thanks to a work car. Have a Mk 6 2012 Golf TSi - just ugraded from a 2006 Mk 5 TDi.
Must say massive improvement in handling - Although I do miss the power of the oil burner I dont miss the turbolag.
Ciao.
