Heya, I just joined this forum hoping to find out if my terrible MP3 is normal. I just bought a 2017 Tiguan with 11k miles on it. It looks & drives like a brand new car but after 3 fuel-ups I'm only getting 15.5 MPG. Now, I realize it's how you drive and I am coming from a Fiesta ST that I...

Hi all, I have been running Castrol 20w50 since we bought the car in 2016 and I am thinking of switching to Shell Rotella T4 15w40. I notice on cold starts the car runs a little rough and we seem to get smoke out of the tailpipe that we didn't have for the first few years. After it warms up for...

Hi everyone this is my first post so please don't flame me for asking these questions. I am new to the Golf scene and looking to purchase something reliable and relatively fuel efficient. My questions are just how reliable is the MK6 and how many km's are too many before you start replacing...

Hi everyone My 2010 VW R36 Passat is making a loud clicking noise coming from the engine. This noise is VERY intermittent and comes and goes. My immediate thought is that it could be the timing chain or variator. However, I saw a similar noise on a Youtube clip and this was the water pump...
