Hi all, looking to purchase a T5.1 transporter and after some advice on the risks of a CFCA engine with a Rev C egr cooler. My preference would have been to but a 2017+ with the Rev D from factory, but looking for a 4motion so options are limited.

Hi all, looking to purchase a T5 1 transporter and joined to ask some advice on the risks of a CFCA engine with a Rev C egr cooler. Done plenty of reading about the issue, but a suitable 2015 4motion has popped up. It has 117km on it, but the owner nor their mechanic can advise if the is any oil usage...

Hi all,

Have any of you tried launch control? Of course you have me too
anyway, I am pretty sure that standard launch control will only rev to 2000 to 2500 rpm would you agree?

I installed a haldex controller today & as I don't drive the car that often I wan...

I have been getting random warnings on the dash for engine rev limit and EPC after i recently installed a new battery (AGM). The car has been driving normal whenever i got these warnings. Today for the first time the engine actually struggled to rev above 3-4rpm limit, like it was stuck in gear, and...

Having a weird issue with my dq250 DSG in the GTI where it is intermittently not rev matching on downshifts when I am in manual mode.

It is, I think as a result, slow on the downshifts and doesn't do the characteristic blip of the throttle on the way down that I am used to.

So I've got the ever so reliable GOLF CAVD engine with a DSG and 80% of the time it's great. However 20% of the time it decides it won't rev over 3000rpm in any given gear. It's quite annoying when trying to overtake and realising you've got no power as soon as the turbo spools up. Anyone know of this...

Hi, I just purchased my 2015 golf 90tsi comfortline manual with 50,000km a few months back, and I’ve been hearing an awful tinny rattle noise (almost sounds like something is tearing) when I rev the car up at about half throttle, and when I release the throttle at higher (>3.5k) RPM- I think it’s...

I recently bought a MkIV golf and after driving for about 20 minutes home, i stopped put it in neutral and the rev gauge started bouncing and the engine was revving. I didn't have my feet on anything. Any suggestions?

Hi guys, finally saying g'day. About to move on to my fourth VAG car.
First I had a '12.5 6r Polo gti & daily is a '15 Amarok.
My current main squeeze is a 2014 MK7 golf R. After over two years of ownership, its time to move on to the next beast.

Hi guys,
i have a 2011 Octavia RS TDi with the 6 speed manual. In first gear the motor won't rev past 3500. Is this a built in thing or is there a problem? The motor is hot when I've done it so I've ruled out some kind of cold running rev limiter. Any help would be appreciated.
thanks...

Hey all!

I am posting in this section as I hope that you guys with a GTI (same / similar) running gear to mine may have some ideas...

My 2012 Octavia VRS has developed an issue that has perplexed me and several mechanics.
Your help or ideas would be greatly appreciated...

Hi there,

I'm having an issue with my Polo missing under transient load that's starting to really annoy me. The Miss is in Cylinders 1 & 3 and has been getting progressively worse for since October. In November during my normal service I put in new spark plugs and ran through upper...

All dashboard gauges stop working when I rev the engine! Still drives fine though!

Start engine and all is fine idling at the 800 or so rpm, but when I rev it a bit, either stationary or when driving, all of the dashboard gauges drop and stop ie the Temp, Fuel,Speedo, Tacho, the lot...

Hi All,

I use the van more at weekends so i could sit for a few days between starts. First time I'd done a trip from say the gong to Syd no probs on Sunday and used...
