Here is my 2017 Polo GTI. I've owned it for about 6 months, its done 13,000 miles and I bought it in the hopes of turning it into a project during the lockdown.

I’m looking to buy a 2011 gti manual and it’s got 85k miles. From what I can see from the carfax, the owners took decent care of it, especially the first one. Is it a good idea to buy a gti with that many miles? I probably won’t be putting on more than 10k miles on it a year, and probably even a...

Hello, Can somebody please outline to me the primary differences between the MK7. 5 GTI and GTE. This obviously omits the engine, with the GTI having a 2L turbo and the GTE having a 1.4L turbo with an electric motor. I am referring more to brakes and suspension. I am aware the GTIs alloys an...

Just purchased a 2007 Fahrenheit edition GTI, was wondering if it is anything special? It’s my first Volkswagen, and the badge number is 77/1200 so I assumed it was reasonably rare. But if anyone can give me some insight that would be appreciated.

Looking for some help?.. I drove my car to work, left it in the car park for a few hours, returned to the car and it wouldnt start, there was no funny noises just the sound of the car trying to start. Tried to jump the car but no joy, pushed down a hill to try getting it going but nothing. RAC...
