Re: How often do you wash your car

I find a strong dilution of valet pro citrus power left to dwell for a few mins then use pressure washer to rinse down removes bird crap. Yep. Good stuff. I wash mine when it needs doing and when I've got the time for it. Better doing that than most car washes. Just been out and watched them at a n...

Re: Faded centre caps

Booo.

They'd have been covered under the initial 3 year warranty but aren't covered under extended warranty. :(

Ah well, worth a shot I guess

Faded centre caps

Hi all, Hoping someone can offer some advice. I've found a few topics about the wheel centre caps being replaced under warranty because of 'white worm' but they're all pretty out of date and relate to cars covered und the original 3 year warranty. My car is 4 years old now but when I bought it last ...

Re: dealer problems

Agree with the above. Yes, it'sd damn shoddy service, but at least their rectifying it. Based on some of the stories you hear about dealers not owning up to creating problems etc I'd say that's not a bad result contacting HQ to let them know is a good call as for the Polo, as long as you're not doin...

Re: What happened here?

This black with bright green combination seems to be a trend round here.

Re: What would you do?

good idea, but not cash, and maybe not alcohol either.

How about some flowers? Don't have to spend much and can get thme delivered easily enough assuming you have their address - better than jsut dropping by with a bottle of booze

Re: Baby seat questions

Hi guys, last weekend the wife and I went car seat shopping as a make or break day for the scirocco. we found out that the recaro isofix base doesn't fit properly in the rear seat - when it's pushed all the way back the leg isn't reaching the floor properly, strange given this is the one VW recommen...
