Agree with the sentiment, but without knowing otherwise, the defect could've occurred after it was sold. My take is that an installed part of the cooling system has failed. The car is under warranty, so remedial action should be taken via the warranty. It's the dealers problem. It'd probably be worth discussing with Trading Standards/Consumer Direct to ascertain rights and expectations, including rejecting the car if it was bought within that timeframe. G

We had a Volvo 343 that came with a French flavoured Renault 5 engine. Tbf it was a good little engine.

It was indeed. Sold it to a mate after I bought the 9-5 HOT Aero. Drove it several years after I sold it, and found myself wondering what on earth I was thinking to get rid of it. Dimwit! 🙄 Many happy memories - drove it up to western Scotland (Acharacle) and did the 620 miles journey on one tank, fully loaded up with a family of four. Think it's the only car I've owned that was capable of that 😎. Pre-PD too so had the simpler fuelling system that'd run on anything vaguely oily (well you know what I mean). G

I was told, very clearly, by my local VW that if I removed the 'Mit Silikat' bag from my 2018 Golf GTI's header tank that I would void the cars warranty. I'd asked them to remove it during a planned service, which they declined to do. Bought new, but not from the local VW. I took the bag out once the 3 year manufacturers warranty expired.

Looking for something else and I happened across a photo from early 2006 of my 1999 B5 Passat Estate: 1.9 TDI (AFN) auto. Six CD changer in the boot (Gamma?). Awww Gaz

Blimey, it's still up there somewhere then

Passenger side rear footwell, with the front passenger seat all the way forward is what I do. Gaz

You've obviously not read enough of the forum just yet, 'coz we like daft questions and they put you in good company. Welcome Gaz

@PPIZulu Have you seen in the for sale section: Gaz

And you'd be right to exercise caution. When I owned a Skoda, my local Skoda knew who I was (not hard really) on here, without me revealing it to them. G

Oooh, covert joiner uppery, say nuffink, tell no-one

Just out of interest, this little bundle of joy sold for £74,000 earlier today: I didn't bid on it Gaz

Nah, that'd be just daft Only an eejit would do that (btw, and for the sake of clarity, I was just joshing)

I've tried clicking on the 'Take our survey ->' button ^^^, but it's not working for me 😁😇 G

Does it have the DQ250 six speed DSG? When you say 'rough', is that noisy (if so, what?), it doesn't want to change, there are mechanical aberrations, or something else? Does it make any difference whether it's hot or cold? If it doesn't feel right, it might not be right. Have any fault codes read and the DSG looked at. In a worst case scenario, you could unwittingly be causing damage that might be costly to repair. A stitch in time and all that... Gaz

Curious questions 🤔 1) It will perform 15mm closer to the snow, ledges and slightly higher ramps. But you may have mitigated that by being on 55 profile tyres rather than, say, 40 profile tyres. What suspension you have will also be a factor - 15mm lower could mean (or might not) it has independent rear suspension, rather than a torsion beam. 2) This will surely depend on what footwear you use. Barefoot I could see metal pedals being less comfortable than rubber ones. I wear steel toecapped DM boots, and in a blind test, would most probably not be able to tell the difference. The type of pedal covers you choose will not affect the clutch pedals resistance. 3) Yes. Whether you like it, or use it is completely subjective, and personal choice/opinion. Gaz

Make sure your heater works and you get hot air from all the vents. You do need to know what was the cause, and fix, of the coolant leak. My 2015 vRS TSI blew it's turbo, the first sign of the problem was a delay in heat getting into the cabin: Gaz

Hello and welcome MG95Tux We drove down to northern Italy a couple of years ago for a holiday - beautiful part of the world 😎 Gaz

Hello and welcome HFB Gaz

Just looking for photo's from when I had to replace my window regulator back in 2015, but not of them really help. This is the nearest, showing the cable that hooks onto the handle: My memory fails me, but I thought the handle separates from the door card quite easily. Getting the door card itself off is very straightforward. Gaz

Not my photo, but the Aurora Borealis could apparently be seen from Peacehaven last night: G

Plucky little 16 year old 😎 When she took it out for the first, 'getting used to it' drive, and then sent it, someone started cutting onions in this house too
