[Looking at buying this]

If the car has factory fit Xenons, with the lack of headlight washers, I would be looking for poorly repaired accident damage.

[Vrs owners... age]

Bought my vRS 6 weeks ago and I am 67 in September!  However, it is diesel and DSG. 

I thought i would be the oldest at 57.

[Wiper park position]

Just checked mine and is exactly the same, passenger wiper is just above VIN number

[Silent turbo]

Like you i also have a 2008 Vrs TFSI, i have done 20000 miles since i have owned it, and have never heard the turbo, i had it seviced by a VAG specialist last week and he remarked on how well it goes, i would be worried if it started making noises.

[vrs high milage petrol]

Forgot to mention the MASSIVE oil consumption all 2.0 TFSI drivers have to deal with, atleast 1 litre to 800 miles. You only have to google '2.0 TFSI oil consumption' to see the major issue with no cure as of yet...

They do not all use a lot of oil, mine has used 1 litre in the last 10000 miles.

[Air escaping from brake pedal when pressed]

It could be the seal that the brake pedal rod goes though in the servo.

I have not had mine fitted yet, the box is marked B12 Sportline, i will review shortly.

[Starting up a TFSI.]

rayvrs - thats interesting. So no more stutters first thing in the morning? Was the car under warranty?

Job was done under warranty, no more stutters.

[Starting up a TFSI.]

Mine was the same, then a couple of weeks ago I had a warning light come on, the garage changed the manifold runner motor and the engine breather valve, car now starts instantly and ticks over smoothly.

[Anyone know this car for sale? ('06 vRS, Black)]

It is a hatchback, i know estates are more expensive, but it is over 2 years older and done 10000 miles more, and is almost the same price.

[Anyone know this car for sale? ('06 vRS, Black)]

It seems overpriced, 4 months ago i bought a 58 plate TFSI, 55000mls, dual climate, cruise control, jumbo box, 18" wheels, FDSH for £7200

[What's the age of Octy vRS drivers?]
