Kind of self-fixing this. Start more threads yourself, reply to other people 
^^^^ this!
When you look at when this thread was posted and when I replied it kind of says it all.
I had two mk5's, two mk6's and have now had two mk7's. Each time a new model comes out there are lots of questions and new things to discuss but after a while it all gets a bit stale going over the same ground.
I still used to visit the mk6 section regularly in the early days of my mk7 ownership as I still had things I could contribute but now I rarely visit. When I had my mk6's there were no real running issues commonplace but it wasn't too long before certain issues became prevalent but I had no experience of these problems once I'd moved on.
As said elsewhere in this thread, all forums are quieter now thanks to social media and changes in peoples buying habits too. Less people buy older cars and fix them up or modify them nowadays as younger people want new cars on deals like their phone contracts which in turn limits the scope of forums that cater for non current models.
