Morning everyone, looking for a VW specialist that could diagnose a fault with my mk5 Golf. Looking for someone who has knowledge in these platforms and not just a VW service place (there is one literally 5 mins from my house) Prefer people who deal with these types of cars and not just the newer stuff. Many thanks

Uses them when John was there, lost confidence when they couldn’t change my fuel filter on a service. It was the inline one by the rear wheel.

The connectors are crap and usually someone has bodged them in the past.

Always used Sunset whenever I’ve owned a VW - can’t fault them.

We've used these guys a lot in the past few years as I only live 10 mins away - they've worked wonders with our VW Tiguan, I'd happily recommend them and they're usually fully booked for at least 2/3wks in advance.
