Answers
1)   Not a chick car...I know a bad ass hockey player who drives one... - lildevil112878

2)   Jetta's are great cars my brother has one, and they're pretty good on gas as well! :) - chelsakid!

3)   you need a 3/4 ton 4 wheel drive Chevy pickup and you won't need to worry about it. - Randy W

4)   Heck no :) The flatter front end makes it, personally, seem more masculine than the newer jettas. They're really roomy inside, too. Good car. :) - MeridethGrey

5)   This car indeed was made by VW to appeal to females. That said, they are decent cars and as a first car, I think I would overlook 'gender' if you find one in good shape (unless it's a beetle...certainly can't drive that, lol).

If you like it get it...throw some speakers in it and find a chick to sit in the passenger seat...

Good luck. - Danny

6)   It's not a chick car like a Beetle is but don't get it unless it's a vr6. The 1.8t motor is highly unreliable, especially in the hands of a 16 year old. - Nick

Question 2
How reliable and confortable is the 2006 new shape VW Passat estate,150 000?...  150,000 miles,one company owner from new,full service history.

Answers
1)   its a great car ..and the mileage is no problem ..but it would need to be a diesel ..i was in a passat taxi last week ..a 2006 ..380.000 miles ...never been touched ..and no rattles - boy boy

2)   I think its a vw and about anytime now something expensive is due to break, 150,000 I hope it was cheap, I would consider a honda, a nissan, a toyota, or a subaru before a vw - say it again

3)   Unless it's seriously cheap I wouldn't touch it. VWs aren't as bullet proof as people think and there could be some serious bills just round the corner, particularly if it's a Diseasel. - EvelynThe ModifiedDog.

4)   There should not be a serious problem with the car with a full history. However, unless your annual mileage is low I would always say that 150k is time to be getting rid and not buying. You do have the benefit of a smart modern and comfortable car which is far better than the comparable cars offered by Peugeot, Ford and Vauxhall. We have the TDI (140 bhp) at work, 2008 in Black our chief loves it and he has access to a Volvo XC 90, Mitsubishi Warrior, and his own Aston Martin V12 Volante. - L G

5)   as long as the car has been maintained, you're golden.
People who are saying "vw's are garbage" probably haven't taken care of them. As long as you run approved synthetic oil, fuel that meets the octane rating of the car, and do the maintenance on it, it will be a great car for you - brendan_435

Question 3
what paint would i use to dechrome my vw car badge?...  

Answers
1)   Gold - David Uecfs

2)   Any colour but make sure it looks good pro bally sliver or gold - Tony Hawk 1234

3)   Paint does not remove chrome. - Joe Blows

4)   you mean paint over it? Just use black, white, or body color paint. - Louis G

5)   Chromic acid removes chromium plating. It may may a mess of your badge as if it is plastic there will be a base metal such as copper underneath. The easiest way is to remove it, clean it well and spray it matt/satin black or similar. - Bazza

Question 4
Recently brought a VW Golf 1.8T W reg and the drivers side footwell is wet...HELP?...  I have put it in the garage twice now the first time they stripped off the door pannel and re sealed it, the second time he said it was leaking down behind the fuse box and the pedals. So he dried it all out and put the carpet and all back in but it is still leaking! Reluctant to go to a vw garage due to the labour cost but wishing I did now as already spent £500 quid an its still not repaired anyone else had a similar problem?
No sunroof but thanks everyone for your answers so far gonna have a good look tomorrow!

Answers
1)   it is probably why the other owner got rid of it. - peter p

2)   You need to trace where the leak is coming from. Does it have a sunroof? They always end up leaking in my experience.
Other than that, strip out all the carpets and trim, then sit inside it while someone plays a hosepipe around all the vents, windows, seals etc to see where the water's getting in.
I'm assuming it IS just water we're talking about here, and not engine coolant, in which case it's your heater matrix. - EvelynThe ModifiedDog.

3)   Someone else asked this, someone mentioned that air-con radiators behind the dash drip condensed water into a tray (look at your fridge), there's a drain pipe down to the outside. If it's blocked, the tray overflows and drips into the footwell. - Atavist

4)   sunroof drains
get it fixed under recall - james

Question 5
Can i get an upgrade for the headlights on my Golf GT?...  I have a golfMk5 GT the front headlights are not very bright in comparison to my Landrover can I get an upgrade or brighter lamps or something

Answers
1)   if you car hasnt been fitted with xenon lights already then it may be worth looking into.
They can prove a fairly costly upgrade but are a selling as they are an extra. - H

2)   the MK5 golf GTI came with factory HID xenon lights. You should be able to swap in those units, but it will not be cheap. - Louis G

3)   Forget the HID lights as from next year ANY vehicle with non OEM HID lights will fail the MOT.

Try some Osram nightbreaker bulbs as they have good reviews. I also suspect that there may be a problem with the wiring as to be worse than a Landy's lights the must be truly dire. - who_is_jack_shit

4)   You can get upgrade bulbs (like the nightbreakers) and they are pretty good. Also look at Ring Xenon Max. as well.

You CAN also upgrade to HID lights, and as long as you use a decent kit that gives the same beam pattern, almost all MOT stations will pass them happily. Some of the cheaper kits give poor beam patterns that cause problems with standard lenses. They are not EC stamped, so not strictly road legal, but I;ve heard of few problems. Just don't go for 8000K or above bulbs as these are too blue.
