Title: New Member Surrey TCR
Post by: Kpow99 on 17 July 2020, 08:37

Hello all, first foray in to owners club forum for a while.  Was a founding member of Civinfo site for Honda Civics when I had my new shape in 2006, it was a lot of fun and had nearly 90k members and 2.4 million posts!

My first dip of a toe in to the Golf world, I wanted one when I got my Civic but was just a bit more expensive back then and went for the Civ, great car and lasted 14 years with very little wrong with it.

Now I have a TCR in Pure Grey with the 19" upgrade.  What a car!!! love it to bits, fell in love the moment I saw it!  I thought I wanted it in black but glad I hunted round for the PG.  Head turner  :smiley:

Welcome to the forum fellow TCR owner!

Very smart! I hope you are enjoying it as much as I'm enjoying mine. If that's a pan roof you have, you may want to keep a close eye on the surround as they are prone to cracking. There are a few threads on it already with pictures so you can see where to look. Best to catch it early!

:smiley:

Yes it is, thanks for the heads up, does it happen within three years warranty or have VW managed to get round it like emissions? lol

They seem to be going very early on. As for warranty cover, a bit hit and miss. As much as the dealer as VW but they are getting done.

Cheers, I'll have a look.  Tried searching on here but getting error message but I'll plough through.

There are others but plenty to look at. Search may not work until you've posted more, like PMs.
