Thanks for the input all, I am going to take this up with vw customer care in writing today. I will report back

Hi, i know this has been talked about a lot and I have searched to see if anyone has had it twice in a short period. My car is just over 4 years old, when a little over 2 and half years old i had to get the coolant thermostat changed under warranty, great no problem. It has just come back from the a major service at my local specialist and he advises me it needs doing again, around 18 months later... I had noticed some lose of coolant and it has been running down the engine and can be seen on the sump..surely this can’t be right to happen again so quickly. He also advises they updated the part number for this in the last 6 to 8 weeks and think vw must have picked up on this issue and improved the part, but visually he says it looks the same. Do you think I have any comeback with VW on this one? Or am I on a hiding to nothing. My specialists has a one he just did to a S3 was around the £600 mark..... Thanks

Things you've only just discovered about your R
NathR replied to JonSW's topic in VW Golf R MK7 Chat
Been there done that, 200 miles from home. Wife to the rescue and boy was she happy.... mine is not a face lift and I have keyless . With the car fully locked, if I go up to the boot it opens , I then take my jacket off with keys in, put them in the boot and close it, I was then locked out. I am not sure if I get set time to reopen the boot before this happens or if it is instant. Either way not good! need to try this out at home with spare key . -
Cheers for info, how do they do it, costs? So how safe is repair on a wheel then?
-
Going to give that route a try today.
-
That is the thing, I am going to talk to vw today, but I kind of need that wheel off straight away, as it dangerous. I don’t think I should put a new tyre on it??
-
Evening all, I have been having a few issues with tyre wear on the front, so I arranged for my tracking to be checked next week and ordered 4 new ps4 to go on. I was only told of the issues at my recent service as I knew they where getting low, but wanted to change all 4 together. Today I spent the day cleaning the car and had all my wheels and renewing the geyon protection on. I got to the last wheel and got the total shock of my life at not only the inner tyre wear but the crack on the inside of the wheel. All 4 of my wheels are totally immactute, not a single mark on any of them and I am so careful with my car. I presume looking to get something like this covered under warranty is not likely? so new pret I guess?! gutted and can’t think of how it could have happened, but clearly with the tyre wear something has happened.

Hi, sorry had a busy week and this is the first time I have looked back at my post. i guess I would be looking for a 6 week to a couple of months. Ps21 used to last about 6 weeks, that has a high carnuba % I think, that’s why I was thinking of going for there slightly more expensive Version? Any experience of this booth? https://www.amazon.co.uk/R222-100-Carnauba-Paste-Hard-200/dp/B00UHO3BVY/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1530472333&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=r222+carnauba+wax&dpPl=1&dpID=41WbDxi8q%2BL&ref=plSrch Maybe i I should just put the supernatural back on! Hahaha
-

My Golf R Lapiz blue stolen this evening - 5th March
NathR replied to GregR-125's topic in General Chat
I don't have facebook, can someone post up photos of this complete and utter drain on society please. What a shocking thing to happen. -
Thank you and I thought that was on the (very) expensive side!
-
Hi, Please can someone confirm the price of just the oil please, I have been given a price of £101.36 + VAT..... then £45 + vat to change the oiler and clean the filter etc of a local specialist. I just cant help but thinking the oil price is high!

Hi, Ones a iPhone 7 and ones a iPhone 5 SE (work). They both work fine when they are both connect for both the phone and media together, its only when I spilt them up. Will get it look at before my warranty runs out! Thanks guys

Mk7 R with Pro nav (MIb1). I think I should be able to connect two phones to the car with no issues. ie connect my work phone to phone side and take calls and my own phone to use for music via Bluetooth? When I do this the music played is distorted and the calls on my work phone don't work, It seems as though it is connected but you cant hear anyone talking through the car speakers, just through the phone. It doesn't matter which way round I do this sync it is the same This cant be right, is it? Thanks in advance.

The look good! How easy are they to get off?
-
Ah that’s a good tip for the future then, I recently went to the ATS and watched over then when they put a new Tyre on and made sure they hand torqued it on. I am SUCH a fanny, it took well over an hour for them to put me a new tyre on. Any way bet your car looks mint now with the prets on, enjoy and you should have a better ride than me. Although I never seem to find it that bad! Will also keep a look look out for you

VP Snow foam Wheels, tyers and arches cleaned 2 bucket wash-born to be mild Megs endurance on the Tyres Glass done with fast Glass Tailpipes done with auto sol Back in the garage before it rains!
-
Silver one was me mate. So it was your lapis 15 plate In that small garage opposite ATS. Still had the Cadis wheels on when I past. Nice one getting prets on. Where did you end up getting some from?
-
Does any one know if you can buy just one side, or do they come as the full set? Thanks
-
I presume its a case that the previous owner didn't keep on top of it then. What a shame. Wonder how much the new tips cost?! Thanks
-
I have always used Fast glass for my windows, Is the best I have ever used and not silly prices. I do as Booth does above and always get good results. I also find it really good at cleaning the plastics in the car to be honest also, better than most interior stuff I have tried. Does not leave them sticky and too shinny!!!
-
I can get mine nice and clean using autosol, but there so pitted, the car has just turned 20k, its bloody horrendous and annoying as when you are a fanny like us lot are you just want it to be perfect. Can I do anything with the pitting? I will get a photo up Thanks
-
Getting better this had been a on few mins before photo

Gutting, probs couldn’t have happened in a worse place as they can’t just replace that panel can they as it’s welded to the roof and the full rear 1/4. hope you get a good outcome and not just botched up, as in my experience once you know your cars been bumped it’s hard not to always think about it.
