And there is a way to stop the car being opened keylessly for when it is parked up. This is to prevent thieves using clever tech to steal your car. I have however forgotten how you activate this mode.( I do not really need it where I live) I also note that on later cars the key plipper de activates ...

Here is another picture

I think whether you like one design of wheel over another is a personal thing . I prefer the looks of my Parkers to the 18 inch version but think the name is stupid. Of course there is a factor of thinking they look better because they cost more ,so if you opt for the 17 inch wheels others may think...

Better ride than the bigger wheels?

I recently noticed a problem with my VW sat nav. The maps and display were fine but when I selected “ Home “ as a destination it reported an error in not being able to give directions. It seemed ok on some other destinations. I have just been into the VW garage and they contacted VW who said there h...

Ah, that sounds familiar to the experience I have had, it is good to know that I am not alone. I will get it booked in to the dealers.

Nothing to do with stop start, it just seems over sensitive to pedal pressure at low speed or maybe my feet are too heavy? I have driven automatics before and not experienced this problem. I think I will take it in to the VW garage five minutes away where I bought it and hope they can sort it under ...

It is not judder just a sudden brake application after little pedal pressure.
Car is driven mostly gently...I know stupid for a Gti!

I have had my GTI plus since August 2018 but recently have noticed the brakes are over sensitive at low speed. I keep annoying the missus by thrusting her head towards the windscreen ( not intentional!!😀) The car has only done around 6000 miles and mostly local. Any ideas what it could be ? I have t...

I use a small metal box( Xmas sweets box) on the grounds that the thicker the metal surrounding the keys the less chance there is of thieves picking up a signal. Additional benefit is that it cost nowt! Also if thieves break in would they look in a tin box for the keys?

After our Gti was built I was told by VW “help” line that our car was on one of two ships( maybe half on each?), so I spent a while following their progress on a ship watcher only to be told later that it was on a completely different one. Also I was told that when it arrived at Emden they would kno...

Gardening is a problem for a 72 year old like me , it is all the bending down, digging and shifting stuff. However I do have several large lawns so I do enjoy mowing, mainly due to having a ride on mower. I can sort out all my thoughts chugging along in the sunshine. Yes I love the word globulation ...

I do enjoy seeing the rain globulate on the cars bodywork after polishing I admit but no matter what polish you use it still leaves marks when the rain dries on the paint.

Wish I could get someone to detail my body!!

My VW UP looked the same ( apart from a couple of supermarket trolley small dents) after nearly four years of ownership being kept outside, no detailing , a few polishes and a wash every couple of weeks. If I had spent an arm and a leg( 3.5% of vehicle cost) on detailing I would get really annoyed w...
