I already tried few times but, one, she is scared as hell to drive it, too big (she says that about other ''stuff'' as well ), two, I wouldn't be able do it, I want to live a long life not to have 12 heart attacks before hitting 50 as she would scratch wheels, doors, bumpers and good knows what else on monthly basis, three, we will be buying house in couple of years, plus we already have 1000s of pounds planned on all sort of entertainments/holidays/stuff and she will need new (much better) car this year as well, soooo I may have to stick with my 8 for some time now.
It's a well looked after car, I'm looking after it as well plus it cost me so much money each year (last year upgrades plus running cost just under £11.5k)
It would be a great financial loss selling it or donating in current circumstances and plans ahead.
And for money she plans to spend on next car I would buy and decent 8 if she would adopt mine.

Anyway, will update you guys as soon I get round her Golf.

BTW, I read your post couple of times but I got it.
Not gad bad furl put in it etc? translates to Not had bad fuel put in it etc?

definitely get coil packs checked and watch out as quite often one will give up and the rest will follow swiftly afterwards.

Did VW do the recall on the coil packs like Audi did?

[rs32]

not AFAIK - I've seen countless V6 4motions (like mine) and R32s need them all doing but not heard of so many on the smaller petrol engines, but VW tend to do very little in terms of goodwill when they have issues like this.

I can't remember on these if the BERU make are the ones to go for, or avoid. Best to check with an Indy specialist. I think from memory I've ordered BERU in the past and had to replace immediately but I could be wrong.

Cheers guys, very much appreciated, will update you soon
