Used to live in London. In 2021 bought a 2009 2.0tsi GT for 5k. Had problems with ignition coils. I have to say to anyone out there... it's REALLY important you go to a proper, reputable, skilled mechanic (bonus if he has specific VW knowledge). I went to 2 mechanics in London (one was VW affiliated), the other a bit of an MOT cowboy, both let me down. Anyway, moved back to Ireland and had recurring cylinder/coil issues until i finally found a top mechanic (i was lucky). I've have had ZERO problems since (3 years later), fantastic car

Honestly working on your own cars (if you can) is a blessing. I honestly think for everyday driving that doesn’t “break the bank” the vws are the best cars to buy. That’s just my opinion. Ik plenty of people who have never had a problem. All depends on who drives them and how you drive them.

I need to upgrade to some PS4s I think. Honestly landsails are cracking until it rains then I’m slipping constantly.

@@ElliotHarris03 as we’re heading towards the winter I’d definitely recommend SC7s. I had some PS4s this year and in the summer they were great, but during bad weather they aren’t the best, especially for a FWD car. The CS7s are also great in the summer, but definitely better in the worse weather for a daily car!

I’m planning on taking it to the track eventually & I don’t want to fork a load out on a set of PS4s if they’re rubbish for everyday British weather if that makes sense

Got a scirocco myself that is very similar, Running goodyears and I'm on my 3rd set (front) after just over a year. I also slapped some Bilstein's b14's on and gained a lot of stability when putting power down (straights or corners).

Must be a scirocco thing to eat away at tyres then🤣 would you recommend the b14s? Ideally if I see a set of airlift cheap enough I’d like to snatch them up but I would also like to send it to the track at some point

@@ElliotHarris03 Couldn't comment on airlift, undoubtably more comfy though. Suspension turned out to by the limiting factor for grip rather than tyres, on some backroads and at brands hatch the difference was night and day, I'd need to get a seat & 5 point harness to make the most of that, but its my daily so 😁

Water pumps are out of kinder suprise eggs, they’re terrible. Manuals are fine, clutch & internal gearbox rebuilds wouldn’t be a quater of the DSG ones.
