I was 55 when I bought my Clio RS 200, I am now 61 and enjoying my Blue GT. In a couple of years time I have every intention of buying a Golf R. So no, you are never too old for a GTI.

Over the first 10,000 miles in my Blue GT I have never noticed the engine switching between 2 and 4 cylinders, other than the notification in the instrument cluster.

Thanks Jammydodger, went out to the car to try your suggestion, turned the ignition on and of course the unit lit up and worked perfectly. Anyway, at least I now know what to do next time.
Thanks again.

Gearbox whine in second & third gear at low constant speeds, i.e. roads with 20 mph limit.

Well took the wheels off today just to see if it is my imagination or if there is something causing excessive road noise.

Tha wheel hubs, where I hang/ put the alloys back on to, has surface rust on it so I am guessing that could be the noise.

autobahn. My second car in Germany, a 205 GTI ...

Hi, what tyre pressures are you running your BlueGT with?

At the moment I am trying 40psi front and 37psi rear and have to say that the car feels much better than with the factory pressures.

The spec:

3dr Manual
Blue Silk
Xenons
Tinted Windows
Anthracite Alloys.


I have been looking through this thread and seen that VW seem to fit this separate bluetooth solution rather than it being fully integrated into the ...

Yes, I do about 350 miles a week and am averaging 50 mpg without trying.

Hello everybody, I have had my Blue GT for a couple of weeks now. Bought it when it was 3 months old with 2000 miles on the clock from a dealer. So far has run perfectly. Anyway I was wondering what tyre pressures you run your cars on as the pressures suggested by VW seem very high to me, none of my ...
