The problem with using normal wheels on the back is that if you have to heavy brake in slippery conditions there is a good chance the rear will lock up or if your going round a corner the rear would slip out. No doubt modern ESP systems will help but I wouldnt chance it for the sake of £200 for a se...

Winter tyres are worth there weight in gold IMO. Remember they work better in any condition lower that 7degC which is quite often in the UK so snow tyres is a bit of a misguided name. Dont worry about getting skinny narrow ones, Ive used 225/40/18's and they are just as good. I have mine on from abo...

Agree, nothing wrong with buying modified as long as you have proof of it being looked after. At the end of the day Id perfer a car that had been looked after but driven properly rather than one that had been nannied. They are designed and built for this.

VW bars work with the panroof as far as Ive been told.

If they add the TTRS engine that it may be the first time I consider buying a brand new car.

They are the single best thing you can buy for winter. I will never drive another winter without them.

Petrol, pretty much same as I had before but with panroof, nav, leather and blue.

I recognise that drive......didnt know you'd got one of these. Im picking up another tomorrow.

Like who?

True, that is what Im getting hung up on. In my case the cars Im looking at are pretty much the same value or cheaper in fact and they are likely to stay the same or even increase in price hence why I am considering the WBAC option.

One thing to remember about WBAC valuations is that when you take the car to them they do everything they can to reduce the value for every stone chip, scratch, alloy kerb mark etc... They seem to have adopted tactics of higher valuations online to suck you in. Value of trade in is not important, c...

For a laugh I did the westealanycar.com thing and it cam back as £13250!! Was expecting about £11k.

Well Im looking at p/xing at an independant against a similar cost RS4 so its good to see what people have been offered. Im not totally getting ripped off then.

Was that against a new car? What mileage is your car?

Godd point on the value, doesnt bother me but I can see why it would bother some. I suppose mine with 7months VW warranty will help though.

Hey folks, Im selling my car and looked at the other for sale for guidance on private sale however I may look to trade as there are very few private sale for the car Im looking at.

Has anyone tried trading there car in recently and what sort of difference did you see between private and trade in?

If this is just for rear Id stick to standard ones.

Aye these new Tdi's dont like the cold it seems. Im still averaging 32mpg in my mapped TFSI and had 40mpg on the clock the other day.

Not sure but all I'll say is dont waste your money on the EBC's, go direct to Mintex.

Nothing really. Check cambelt change if its a TFSI engine and look at servicing record but thats about it. Ive run a Mk5 Golf Gti and now a Rocco TFSI and never heard of any real major issues with these engines. Ask how much oil it uses, the way the owner will answer will tell you how much they chec...
