Thank you. I hope so too.

I'm annoyed I had to pay so much. But better this way, because if it wasn't, I would not have been able to go back to them to complain.

Re: rear suspension/handling problem

I am happy to report the problem has been resolved.


VW diagnosed it as being the rear shocks. £350 later and the car feels 98% better. I think the remaining 2% is just me being paranoid.

I would've hoped that once at vw, twice at halfords and once and Kwik fit that one of them would've noticed.

Is it hard to spot?

rear suspension/handling problem

Hi All, Since I got the car, the rear has felt very unstable. This is most noticeable over 50mph. If the road isn't perfect or there is small joins/bumps, then the back is wobbly. This is even worse when going around a bend and go over some imperfections, the back is then moving all over the show. I...

B8 fuel flap actuator

Hi all, I have a B8 estate with a fuel flap actuator that works intermittently. How do I remove the fuel flap to replace the actuator? I've seen on older/other models there is a screw on the inside which, when removed, will allow the fuel flap and the rubber boot to come out as one unit. Didn't see ...

Hello

Hi All,

New member. Picked up my 2015 2L GT estate on Sunday.

Quite a big step up from my 2006 Zafira.

Really love the car, even if the seller did misrepresent some info.

Glad to be here.
