Hi there, proud new owner of a mk6 GTI. Started with a normal Mk7 golf and fell in love with it. My first two weeks have been a blast with it!

So my MY16 Multivan has been diagnosed with a most likely head gasket issue between cylinders 2 and 3. It's got 200 and something thousand km on it, is this classed as within normal wear and tear limits for these vehicles?

Mods, apologies if this is in the wrong section.

So some teenagers decided to smash 4 of my windows for no apparent reason. I have replaced three of them (no insurance) however I am having difficulty sourcing the rear windscreen. Some company sent me one but it's not the right one (I...

I have a MK7 Golf 90TSI, when starting the car up or using the start stop, its not a smooth process, its like the engine has excessive front to rear movement but appears fine during normal driving conditions. Would this be the engine mounts? Any ideas or common faults in this area?

Thanks...

Hi, I have a MY20 Golf R-Line, question about the driver/passenger door air vents.

I do lots of highway...

Rattles

This is normal and a characteristic of this engine. It should last 2 seconds or less. If you get it every start even when the engine is very warm then you should call your friendly local...

Noticed today the Jetta oil temp on the dash Jumps between 100 to 110 after running for awhile. Is that normal operating temperature? Also I can't hear the radiator fan kick in. Is it possible something is wrong? I recently got a radiator flush and put in the proper coolant all done by a mechanic. No...

Hi Guys,

Brought the MK7.5 GTI about 1.5 months ago, brand new. Love the car, but, what's up with my wipers? Will VW replace them under warranty? Or, is this normal for a new car? This is the first time I purchased a brand new car. Rainy days in Sydney, this is driving me crazy....
