Lessons needed

[missymckay]

Hi, just wondering if there is any one in the Essex/London area who would be interested in teaching me a bit more about my car ie what does what under the bonnet, fuses etc. Obviously I know where the oil etc goes lol. I have just got a mk5 Gti and although I know a bit about cars it is the first VW that I have had.

Thanks

This Guide refers to the North American version but it's similar to the European car.

Where about in Essex are you based? I'm an Essex boy (although I refrain from talking, dressing and acting like one).

Thanks Poached for the guide

Mike, I'm about 5 miles from Lakeside shopping centre. Like yourself I don't go for the Essex look so no fake tan or extensions for me lmao

Not interested then... 

Might be worth trying to arrange some sort of mini GolfGTI.co.uk Essex branch?

Hahaha who needs extensions when you have a Golf lmao

Yeah sounds like a plan although I have lots to learn about my new 'baby' lol

phone vw ask them if your car was under the recall for coil packs

seen lots of mk5 gtis that's not been done yet  so its 1 less thing to worry about for you

[missymckay]

Yeah thanks for that. Were there any other recalls on the mk5?

On a different note, my rear wiper is not working properly. It works when I use the rear washer but not when I just want to clear it! Any ideas?
