VW Golf loosing power overtaking
I have now put up with this crappy VW Golf for 3 months and learned to never try overtaking. Out of the blue I received a bill for nearly £500 on top of the first bill for unnecessary work.

I have the same old loss of power problem reported by others. It has recently been loosing power whenever it gets up to 70 mph in 4th or 5th gear, usually when overtaking and volkswagen seem to be unable fix this problem.
