Hi all...cool site.
But I'm not sure I qualifty to be here yet as I actually
don't yet own a vw.... I'm actually in the process of
buying a Golf V5 2.3 - Y redge 32k on the clock, from
a dealership.
Lovely car but for one thing that I'd like to get your
opinions on, if I may. The engine when idle sits at
about 700rpm (too low?) and seems to feel quite
'lumpy'? Is this normal for such a big engine? It's
been fully serviced - the oil on the dipstick is clean
and the engine performs beautifully when testdriving
on the A roads......and then we pull over and let the
engine idle....it feels 'rough' to me. Hard to explain
and probably for you to imagine...I want it but not if
the engine has been cooked......
Help purleeezzee!!!

Maybe you should visit another VW dealership and take out a different V5 to see how the two compare? Or consider an AA vehicle inspection?
Assuming you're buying the car as an approved used VW you should be confident it's sound, but I know what you mean, when you're spending that kind of money you want to be sure it's A1.
Hope it all works out for you, let us know how you get on.
Stu.
