Mk6 Golf and EGR valve issues

A question about : Mk6 Golf and EGR valve issues

Hi all

Looking to see if anyone here has experienced a particular fault (which appears to be common after reading many car forums) with Mk6 (2009-2012) VW Golfs. The part in question is the 'EGR Valve' and literally, when it fails, the car will not move.
The engine turns over, no unexpected lights/warnings, gears are fine and basically, when you release the clutch while pressing down on the accelerator, the engine revs but the car does not physically move.

New used car.. Petrol or Diesel?

A question about : New used car.. Petrol or Diesel?

Good afternoon all,

Just after a little advice.

I'm looking at buying a second hand car, I have decided on what make and model ect but can't decide if a petrol or diesel would be better.

I will travel to and from work 5 days a week at a 20 mile round trip. Then every other weekend I cover about 540 motorway miles. With my work commute only being a short one I'm not convinced i would get the benefit of a diesel, on the other hand the motorway trips every other weekend would be more suited to a diesel?

What would you do?

A question about : What would you do?

I have an old Micra, very reliable but bodywork starting to rust, 48,000 miles. My husband has a Corsa, about 5 years newer but 116,000 miles. He is planning to buy a new car.
Would it be a better bet to hang on to the Micra and sell the Corsa, or keep the Corsa and get rid of the Micra?

Any thoughts welcome. Thanks.
