To be fair i barely used it over the bad winter time, but the rest of time apart from niggly bits,Odd flat battery, couple electrical probs, dont really want to think too hard as probly loads more, which are gradually being done. the car has generally been running fine. Always find something to do or want to do tho. ---------- Post added at 06:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:06 PM ---------- And one big difference was no way could i afford one then!

Ha Ha, if only i could make the same claim,mine was for my 40th !! i just about remember seeing these cars when new!!! Lol.

Only just realised i have owned my first VW, (a corrado) for one year,three days now and just gets better. Have also now got a golf tdi for work as now do 75 miles commute a day due to new job. All in all been a great experience hugely, helped by everybody in any way connected to this site, i feel privileged to be a member.

Just to say a big thank you to those who answered with advice, bristolbaron,supercharged,tony-ack,captainredeye, and cazzavr. Got some 205/45/16 and had them fitted at weekend, the difference to the cars handling and general driveability was astonishing, especially compared to the 205/40/17,s . Will not be having them back on again. Once again thank you, cheers paddy

Now then Steve, had the car into local vw specialists, they checked wiring ,sensors etc and advised dash gauge fault! so following your excellent instructions did the deed, bit hesitant pulling needles off so unscrewed face and lifted off, to the sound of a multiple springing noise. dont know if it was out but all were now!! Anyhow with bit of fiddling about and then popping the needles off no problem, managed to get all back together and refitted to car. Went for a drive 18miles and gauge never moved, pulled over and let idle for 10mins and gauge started to move but only got to about70- 75 degrees c, fan kicked in and needle dropped a wee bit. Oil temp went from 86 to 92 then back. Is this not low for a car especially a G60 ?, my golf tdi daily sits at 90degrees at all times. cheers paddy

spotted a blue vr6 track car on trailer behind a blue range rover parked near church in Louth,lincs wednesday evening 8pm ,Had a stop and quick look(took a sly picture, hope you dont mind) and noticed the forum stickers. Then on way to work next morning 6.25am overtook you on Louth bypass,.I were the cheshire cat honkin horn and big thumbs up in the blue golf (daily oil burner), did you have a good day at cadwell park?? Presume thats where you were turning off to.

Hey Gaz, think will have to try and get a garage to check gauge, but starting to think it could be a wiring issue !! nothing ever straight forward, C's eh, who'd av em.lol ---------- Post added at 08:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:38 PM ---------- Hey Steve, will give that ago and hava look, failing that its onto vw for them to test. Nothing else on dash/gauges is not working so dont think voltage stabilizer problem, poss circuit board or as the pessimist in me thinks a wiring problem!!

Hi VR6Pete, the bentley manual specifies using a VW1301 unit to test the gauge, troubleshooting possibilities. Not sure how i can check myself, the G60 only has a blue and black 2pin sensors also.

Hi Gaz, yeah the gauge itself doesnt read/move at all
