Picked up my Replacement Golf Saturday curtsey of Allianz. Looks exactly the same as my original 2013 Model and drives the same. But it is even quieter, cannot tell if the engine is running at idle. The slight miss match of the Electric Auto Park Brake releasing on take off has been cured...

I have finally sorted, both with Allianz ( for a Replacement Car ) and also the Pros and Cons of DSG Auto Boxes used by VW. VW 6 speed Autos use wet Clutches and are much more robust than the later 7 Speed Dry Clutch Types. The 6 Speeds wet clutch types are found behind the higher H.P...

Never too old to learn to set Head Rests correctly. Mine was too high and should have been set with the centre of the Rest level with my ears. Luckily minor whiplash only and it was a front end crash. A number of sites devoted to safety all point out how to set the H/Rests. And the safest Car...

Alas I have tested the Air Bags in my Mk 7 Golf. All three including the Knee Bag. A possible write off, Crumple Zones mean what they say ! My own fault taking my eyes off the Road scrolling the Telephone directory. A big wake up call late in Life. A sore neck to be checked today.

Well none of them work on my Mk V11 Golf. After 2 hours frustration this morning , ending up with soap and water , still streaky and greasy . Only product that did eventually work was Rain Ex - treame which I had for the plastic window of the SL. I think it is a VW problem, as I have never had...

Ah the mysteries of Mercedes vacuum system ! Drivers side heat slide control does not apply vacuum to the heat valve. Passenger side works ok, switching off the heat. Heater switched on yesterday , but then would not switch off. All the vacuum connectors behind the panel are good. I can't see...

Wot ...no Posts today ! So a modern one.. 2010 C Class 1.8 Turbo. Now and then , on cold start up, there is a cloud of Blue smoke. Then it clears in a couple of seconds. 99.9% of the time the exhaust is clear ,never needs oil top up between changes . Could it have anything to do with the...
