• Headlamp washers MOT fail 30 Sep 2013 (Forum)
  I've noticed that most versions of the German marques (A4+, 5 Series+, and Mercs and Volvo-who  think pioneered headlamp wipers and SAABs) have headlamp washer/wipers fitting as standard. Why are the Germans and Scandavians so keen on this accessory? Volkswagen seem to shun this although a fair number of Seats and Skoda seem to include them. Are headlamp washers that effective? I understand that they only operate when the headlights are on.
• DSG gearboxes, CO2 and fuel consumption 19 Jun 2009 (Forum)

His remarks were in line with a report in the Sueddeutsche Zeitung newspaper, saying that on Sunday, hail the size of tennis balls slammed into 30 000 new cars parked at a factory in Emden and at a port in the city.
• Which manufacturers offer best "goodwill" . 5 Apr 2009 (Forum)
  Those who followed my recent VRS turbo saga will know that the Skoda factory paid for my turbo (one year out of warranty and 35000 miles) which was pretty impressive. I couldn't believe it when the service manager at the dealer who did the repair said that Volkswagen would have been much tougher (same company). Sadly some manufacturers are not quite as impressive so I thought it would be interesting to ask, in backroomers experience, which manufacturers have been supportive and which have not.
• Belgian Jobs down hole - no more Golf 23 Nov 2006 (Forum)
  Volkswagen AG said Tuesday it would stop production of its Golf model at its Belgian plant, shocking workers and government leaders who fear more than 3,500 jobs could be lost.

• Dual Mass Flywheel 20 Feb 2006 (Forum)
  My 54 plate VW Golf TDi has been juddering when accelerating in 3rd gear with the engine warm since i brought it a month ago and Volkswagen yesterday have diagnosed it as clutch judder or could be the dual mass flywheel but won't know for certain till the gearbox is out. If it is the dual mass flywheel do i demand them to change the clutch at the same time or just go with the flow??
