Vandalism - alarm didn't go off

Hi, I know there are posts on here about alarm sensitivity but I didn't quite find the answer to my query. So.... a scum bag stole my wing mirror covers reverently and my alarm didn't go off. I understand if you click lock once on the key, you enable maximum sensitivity on the alarm system. Click lo...

DIY EGR valve replacement on 61 plate 170 TDI

I don't want to pay that. I have read online that people can remove them and clean them themselves, and i m considerin...

Re: Engine misfire/compression advice needed

Really feel for you man. I almost bought a 160 Tsi and was interested in the fuel economy. But every time I googled the engine to find out more about it, I just I saw pages problems.

Re: No Bluetooth on 61 plate GT TDI 170

Thank you both very much for your replies. That makes sense. I also phone VW for good measure and they confirmed it didn't have Bluetooth as standard.

Thanks again for the info.

Hi all, I am new here and delighted to have just bought a beautiful GT TDI 170. I'm really pleased with it, but there is one thing that is bugging me; I have read that any car built/ordered after August 2011 comes with Bluetooth as standard.
