To be honest I think you are both right...

Thanks for all the input on this. It looks like we have sourced some extra funding for the house move (If we ever find somewhere!!) so the need to sell the car has bee greatly reduced. Probably going to keep her but it nags at the back of my mind that I could do without having to fork out for a full...

Exeo could be a good option, estate models too. Couple of owners around here too. Not many around without big miles on. I would be worried about DPF's coming to end of life and having to replace especially with the new check allegedly coming in making removing iffy plus my own reservations about re...

It's a hell of a lot of car with very few miles on for not much money. No DPF either I believe?

e46 320d on a 2005 plate will be 150bhp, think they changed around 2002 when they were 136bhp Yeah sorry, it's a 2006 the M Sport. Another thrown in the mix today is my step dads car. 2003 Audi A4 2.0 Petrol with 80k. Saloon. Only done 7k in 7 years! Not sure if that's good or bad. Reckons I can ha...

I think I have talked myself out of the Insignia to be honest. Really like the look of the 320d. The one I have found is an M Sport so looks the business but is only the 120BHP. Would prefer a 160.

Passat B5.5 1.9 TDI 130 estate . I knew that suggestion wouldn't be long. :esm I like 5.5's and have been looking but haven't seen one I would consider yet. Do they have Isofix? The ones I have seen don't and it's something I need as we transfer the kids seats around. Depreciation not really an iss...

So I'm thinking of selling my B7. I don't want to. I have only had it since March and I love it. But. We are now in a position to buy a house which is a big thing for the wife. She hates renting. Mortgage agreed. Deposit saved. But in my opinion we are still a few k short. I don't want to move and w...

Plenty of people in for an expensive shock in the future.

Which meant it rained last night. Predictably.

Drove it to Prestatyn and back then gave it a good clean.

VW wont be going anywhere near mine.

Cheers Hilly. I got a nice selection of cleaning products including my latest extra large micro fibre cloth from Asda. Will definitely look into it. The meguirs clay is pretty good just time consuming. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I got one of these: http://www.halfords.com/motoring/car-clean...

Cheers gaz, I have been using meguirs clay that was about 20 pounds from halfords. Didn't know there was different grades. I'm going to do it slowly, maybe a panel a day lol. I love the smoothness after the clay bar and wax etc. But the shine is not there. I'm sure a machine polish would change tha...

Hello guys! My partners VW 2.0 Passat estate has been going into limp mode with a flashing glow plug light. I had a mobile diagnostic guy come out to check for faults and it found that the Turbo was "P0234 Turb o/Super Charger:Overboost Condition:Control limit exceeded". On further inspec...

Genuinely one of the funniest things I have seen in a while this thread.

I have a 2011 estate, it locks and unlocks fine but the middle button on the key fob has no effect on the boot nor does the boot release on the drivers door. The handle works fine on the boot. Any ideas what's causing this I've checked the fuses havnt got round to dismantling the boot yet. You need...

What does the winter pack add?

Nice wagon by the way although there will be a few on here very biased towards silver ones!

The relevance is that just about ALL manufacturers are doing it, do some research. Calm down flower. I assumed that on a car forum everyone would know that ALL manufacturers were doing it. Apologies. That and the fact the OP was asking if anyone had noticed any differences after fix rather than if ...

With all this B7 love around, I've got the interest back in mine again. I have fancied a Tiguan for a while and went to see one on Friday. They gave me provisional px prices on both my Passat and Golf. I cleaned the Passat yesterday with a view to taking it in for a firm valuation, took the roof ba...

Had mine done a week or so back, been on a long run, perfect, it might be psychological, but it seems better somehow!!

Dpf filters were designed for cars regularly used in cities with a lot of stop start driving and dpf and egr combined makes for a strangled engine which burns more fuel. The dpf fiasco is a joke with the government trying to pull the wool over the eyes of the the general public and pricing us out o...
