I'm
currently the proud owner of a 2005
VW Touran 2.0 TDI Sport with the DSG transmission, having
traded in our old Skoda Octavia estate. The Octy was a
faithful old workhorse for a while but had a few elecrical reliability
issues. The new ride is great!
I've
pretty much always been a VW fan as my family had a few when I
were a lad & this is currently my 2nd. (Not counting
the Czech cousin...) My family has had, over the years a: 412
Variant MK1
Golf MK2
Passat hatchback I
had a MK2 Polo hatch/3 door estate some years ago which was a great
little car but the Touran is by far the best yet!
Have
a look at the links page as there should be one or two VW group
related links. The interweb is a great place for VW owners as
there seems to be a thriving community whatever you drive.
An example is, do a Google search for dielectric
grease tdi. You'll
find info about applying grease to the plug on the lead to the MAF
sensor. On cars that are running a little rougher than they
should be, it works wonders! Here's a good example of the useful info on the web. Don't forget to throw a Shaka to
other VW drivers, especially
the water cooled faithful! Oh, and it's pronounced Folksvagen
not Volks wagon!!!
Here's
an amusing old advertisement I found on YouTube. Don't ask
how I found it...
