How much did it cost? They quoted me £163 for the first service (oil change service). I politely told them to jog on with that price. The car is actually on the 2 year maintenance cycle so not too necessary anyway.

Pretty sure I have the same issue, almost sounds like a knocking noise but get the occasional creak. More pronounced when turning one way. I called to book it in, but the earliest appointment was 4 weeks away and I couldn't commit. Putting up with it for now

I checked on the weekend and the site is working again. Just entering reg no. worked for me.

As someone who works at Nissan, they are not the most reliable, but definitely not the worst. They fall well behind in terms of technology though. As for Pulsar, is no longer produced in Europe. Juke is showing it's age and will be put to bed soon

Doesn't disabling the traction control turn it off automatically?

Could be the front assist not working? Happened to me yesterday driving through a blizzard. Too much ice over the sensor caused it to have a fit.

Found a cobweb in the headlamp unit. Anyone else had this or any advice on cleaning it?

I've leased my GTI. It came sooner than estimated. Delivered on a truck to my door, 11 miles on the clock. The company I used is gb vehicle leasing. Spec as matched as expected. 10,000 miles a year, 2 year contract. Do you mind me asking how much it cost (initial payment and monthly)? ~£2k initial....

She finally arrived on the day it rained. Yes, it's on Bridgestones

Re original question....we have a standard specification GTI. There are no red lines in the headlamps because we don't have LED lights. Even the sales team agree that the 'brochure' was slightly misleading. Imagine our surprise when we saw headlamps without the red line. If you go to the thread, yo...
