    UPDATE - So I have been driving and testing and this has completely fixed this issue. So many people complain about the 2 cylinder rattle on the 1.4 COD engines.

    1.5tfsi poor mpg

    I asked and it was due a full service, my thought is that the air filter and plugs are of a less quality than what was fitted when new. I have been looking to replace the air filter with a Mahle Knecht which I think would be close to the original. The plugs I dont fancy touching but I am...

    Rear Seat Belt wont go all the way back.

    Hi Guys, quick question. so the rear left seat belt which is where my son always sits doesn't always go all the way back. It does retract but leaves a bit loose, is there a way to tighten it back up somehow so it behaves like the other side does. Thanks

    EA211 CZEA timing belt

    Hi Guys, So had the car in last week for a full service, Plugs filters and usual. Anyway car feels alittle sluggish. (possibly in my head) Checked the oil and its past the max on the dipstick. looks like its just past the bend. Do I take the car back or will this be fine.
