Re: Blue GT 2017 (6R) - Timing Belt and Water Pump Replacement
Martyn There have been many threads on this topic, including one very recently, so just do a search and you will find all you need to make your own decision. I’m not going to go into all the arguments yet again, but as far as my own car (similar age and mileage to yours, and covering very low annua...

Blue GT 2017 (6R) - Timing Belt and Water Pump Replacement
I've had a Blue GT 2017 (6r) for 4 years and It's come up for it's 5 year service. It has only done 22,500 Miles and had full VW services every year, but VW have said that they recommend the timing belt and water pump to be replaced every 5 years, regardless of mileage. The said this would cost an a...

Re: Blue GT gearbox noise

As an additional piece of info for you, I did have them inspect the gearbox due to a very stiff shift into second gear not long after I bought it (< 2000 miles). They said there was nothing wrong with it, other than just being new, and I'm incl...

Hi, I've got a 2017 GT-Blue Manual (only done around 9K miles) and I recently did a 180 mile trip (mainly motorway) in 2 halves. Generally sat at 65 Mph on cruise control occasionally speeding up to 70 Mph - ish to pass slow moving traffic. I averaged 63.8mpg, which I though was pretty good. 65 Mph ...
