Volkswagen Golf 2006 FAQs

What SUV should I buy?

A compact SUV will probably be better for her but I'd put the Mazda CX-5 - which gets The Tick - well ahead of the Qashqai.

VW valve body

We also heard from Rick Pringle of J. Pringle Automotive in Melbourne who also told us that it is a problem with the valve body, which needs to be replaced. It is common on all Aisin Warner six- speed transmissions, he says, and it can be fixed without removing the transmission from the car.

VW Golf FSi gear change problems

It's most likely a problem with the shift solenoid and the dealer is right in saying the only way to find whether it is electrical of mechanical is to pull it down, but it seems an extreme step to replace the whole transmission. I would take it to an independent VW specialist mechanic and get another opinion.
