Holy thread revival! Mine was squeeking the other day, then stopped. Was your replaced under warranty? Thanks

thank you!

Hi All I was turning the car around the other day and reversed up a slight incline into someone's driveway - not steep and not fast. Suddenly there was a crunch, but it wasn't the front bumper scraping on the road, the car jolted to a stop and there was an error on the dash which I didn't manage to fully read - something about manoeuvre brake? Put the car back in drive and off I went just fine. It's a DSG / 4x4 if that helps. Any ideas? Thanks

it will probably just be surface rust. the black "painted" parts are not painted very well, at all

All black "painted" suspension parts on mine are looking older than the rest of the car already!

Hi All A friend has a dash light on because the side airbag sensor (600909606) is faulty, and apparently no longer available from Skoda. Also, Golf parts are the same but the software if different.... Has anyone come across this? And replaced the part? If so, how? Thanks

Mine definately regens more when it hasn't got VPower in it

Morning All Had weird issue this morning when starting the car - 2018 VRS Diesel DSG 4x4 Car struggled to start on first key turn, but did start. Then as soon as I put the car in Drive and tried to pull away, it stalled. Tried again and had the same issue, but with "start car manually" message. I'm assuming this is a low battery issue? Thanks

any chance you can upload this image again as it's no longer working? Or point me in the right direction?

Correct. And the two other straps on the left of the pic are for a warning triangle

To say I'm obsessed is an understatement

I use https://www.cleanandshiny.co.uk/collections/interior-products/products/detail-factory-black-ultra-soft-detailing-brush-set to dust down first the nooks and cranny's, then a wipe down with a dedicated interior only microfibre and some suitably diluted APC.

I wouldn't bother with the Turtle Wax stuff - if it does do anything (like hide swirls) then the detailer will just have to work harder to remove it and get back to bare paint to start the correction.

I think it might be time to name and shame the VAG "specialist"

yeah definitely take it up a level. The paint should not be peeling off, unless someone's already re-painted them, badly

mine is certainly slower to start than my old MK4 Golf GT TDI. I always make sure the glowplug light is out too

Yes

Same here - I jumped out of my 2018 VRS into my wife's 2003 MK4 GT TDI Golf the other day and was very surprised.

I always found that my 2x10" vented box sounded better with the subs facing away from the driver, so it's worth experimenting if possible.

I deep cleaned my plastic covers and used a sealant on them so I'm hoping they keep their colour

yes, there should be plastic caps and yes you can paint the "hubs" (I'm assuming you mean the part of the brake disc that is visible through the wheel where the wheel attaches?)

I think they are all like that - mine's always been pathetic.

Labocosmetica energo is great around badges, as the dirt is usually scale from dried water

Yeah, I think my other car (MK4 Golf) is the only one in the country without rusty front wings!

Also look out for "surface rust" on major chassis components. Mine is 4 years old but the underneath looks more like 15!
