Hi, Just a quick question - So took the GTI out this morning and drove for about a mile and was going up hill and it was losing power. I dropped a gear and still the same, then suddenly realized I left the hand break on! Anyway, just wondering if this could have likely cause any damage to...

Hi, The wife badly curbed two (one worse than the other) wheels last night :-( Looking for 1 or 2 (depending on price). Must be immaculate! Please PM or reply with any ideas or you know someone who is selling. Also - Have anyone has any buying experience with Allfactorywheels.com and their...

Not sure what this is meant to do!? Maybe protect the tires from the sun. I saw several cars and trucks with these on! http://www.flickr.com/photos/michelinstar/8018434600/in/set-72157631609005038

Just had the 10,000 mile service and after a couple of hours of driving, my tire pressure warning light has come on. The tire pressures are fine. What can be causing this? They did rotate the wheels as per the service requirements. Any ideas??

Had my GTI a year now and have baby'd it with regards to hand washing etc. Thinking of saving some time and putting through my local car wash. The car wash is pretty decent (always has Porsches, Mercs and other high cars going through), always put my 2007 Fahrenheit through there with no...

Hi I also use my handbrake, I come from long list of manual cars and now have DSG. Regardless I always use my handbrake when parking, even on level ground (annoys me when valets and VW service people don't). On occasion I have forgotten to apply the break and the car has rolled forward in the...

Went to fill up this morning and caught the attendant putting in regular gas (about 4 gallons). After I yelled at him, he filled it up the rest of the way with V-Power (what I'd asked for in the first place). The car was pretty much empty at the time. Question - Will this damage/effect the...

Quick question - At what revs does Sport mode shift in for you guys?

Ive noticed a couple of small, very shallow dents (hard to notice) in my roof and as far as I know nothing has fallen etc to cause them. Could this have come from the factory like this? The roof also seems pretty thin and flexes a lot with waxing etc. Any thoughts?

Hi, Just a quick question - I'm no stranger to potholes here in NJ and hit many in my MK5 and blew tires and bent wheels. I've since upgraded to a MK6 (5,500k miles so far) and have luckily not hit any big ones, until Saturday that is. It wasn't a huge hole, but enough to give the car a good...

And wow, what a difference so far! Only driven it back from the dealership, but it alreday feels quite different: smoother more responsive/quicker pick-up gears are changing at higher revs and more torque even the engine is sounding better, tighter. if this sticks, will address some of my...

Is it just me or do any other MK5 owners who have now moved to a MK6 feel that the car doesn't feel as fast? I know the data says otherwise, but I just don't get the same feel of torque, tightness, responsiveness or just plain grunt throughout the RPM range. Every now and then it hits the sweet...

So I have virgin paint on my GTI. I have taken care of it and only washed it by hand and have never put it through a car wash. I went to wash it yesterday and realized that the hose pipe is frozen solid. We have a pretty good car wash in my town and I use to put my old GTI through it without...

Anyone tried these or know if they are any good? http://www.ecstuning.com/News/ISSE_TextileSnowChains_VW/Video50-SD/
