Re: b7 tdi 2.0 se estates

True but also what the mech I use told me from the stuff he fixes.

You didn't say if it's stuck on or off ie is it always stopping whether you like it or not or normal as I would call it.
I personally (and not just me) think it's a bloody stupid idea for the ice

That's what annoys me it's a waiting game for something to go t i t s up... and it will

Same with the stop start, that's turned off right away.

Re: Is it me

Maybe they just wanted something newer ever think of that

I'm also thinking of using the mk4 Golf again because of the better build. Newer and full of electronic c r a p isn't always better.

So much for getting a new car

I thought I'd get something a bit newer albeit higher miles for its age ie 2012 and 160000. The clutch is getting noisier as the days go on, I heard nothing when buying it, god knows how they disguised it!. I was hoping to get some trouble/ maintenance free driving for a while with something newer b...

Is it me

Or does my 01 Golf mk4 feel more "solid", I know the Passat is newer ect ect and full of electric poo that's just waiting to go t@#s up but the golf just seems more solid everywhere.

I guess it's because it's older and materials were thicker ie am I talking bollax.

Am I gonna have problems

I've just picked up a 12 plate 2.0 tdi blue motion thing and don't do many long trips and worried when not if this dpf poo is going to start. I've turned off the stop/ start nonsense as it does more harm than good, whoever thought that was a good idea and a benefit to as engine needs to go back to e...
