My bleedin problem is getting the damn fuel in there!!!! 
It must click off 15 times trying to fill from empty! 
Think I may have a problem.....
Not really. You have to lift out the nozzle so it is only just inside the filler neck, and then just gently squeeze the trigger - try to only sqeeze the trigger enough not to actually get it to click stop. But it does take an eternity. :embarassed:
Oh, some Total pumps have a higher delivery rate, and they can be a right mare! I generally don't even bother trying with them. And another 'oh' - some Tesco pumps have quite a short time duration before they automatically cut the power to the pump, so with some Tesco pumps, you may only be able to get say 5 litres in, before the pump 'times-out'.
But I've not had this problem with ANY of my recent cars - no problem with my BMW 5 series, 3 series or Mini Cooper, my MX5, my Leon Cupra, my Audi A4, any of the company cars I've borrowed etc etc And this is at the same local petrol stations where the pumps are still the same with the pump handle on full!
So it's either a design fault on the golf or mine is dodgy!
Read my posts again, correctly and fully!
I actually explained that it was just a simple design 'quirk' of some hatchbacks. I also went on to explain that some saloon cars don't appear to have the same design quirk, and I specifically highlighted that the Audi A4 does NOT share the Golf 'design feature'! 
Sorry TT, but where did you write that about the simple quirks? - I can't find any posts on this thread mentioning that? And I'm not angry with you but with VW if it's a design feature! If so it's very poor.
