AUTOMOTIVE REPAIRS AND SERVICES

If you're looking for content relating to Volkswagen Repair articles, then I've added some here. The articles primarily focus on Volkswagen Golf MK5 repairs, and Audi A3 repairs and common problems. However I have also included content for other cars that I have owned. Im always adding to this section of the website, so keep checking back for newer content relating to VAG repairs and maintenance. I owned the Volkswagen Golf for approximately 7 years, so have encountered most of the common problems that appear with the VW Golf MK5 as I've had to repair them. The vehicle uses the BKD engine

This section of my website is devoted to the articles and content. This section of my website is for downloading files that I have created with my own time and knowledge. I use them as a guidance or files to supplement my Youtube videos that I upload. Here are the direct links to the files - please feel free to download them or share them. As long as you credit me as the original creator and where you obtained the files from.

I'm a firm believer in sharing content, the reason I created this website was because I couldn't find useful articles for Volkswagen Repair when I was trying to fix my Volkswagen Passat. All the information I found was poor quality, so it started from there. I started writing Volkswagen repair articles, and doing Youtube videos on Volkswagen Repair and Common problems. Then developed my traffic over time.

I currently rank in Google for multiple terms related to repairing common problems so you may come across my site from time to time. My site name is unique so it's easy to recognise. I like to provide useful content for others to help them save money when they're repairing their Volkswagen or VAG family vehicle.

These files may NOT be used for profit, but can be used for personal or commercial repairs, I provide no support not hold any responsibility for damages that occur. I'm an avid DIY fan of moneysaving with everything I do so make these guides to act as pointers and nothing more. If something fails when you use these guides. Tough luck. I always recommend professional repairs.

As I'm an avid car owner when I'm looking to repair cars, sometimes it's cheaper looking for VW Car Parts on eBay because the spares are usually cheaper when people strip down their cars. Sometimes I go to scrap yards aswell because buying used then reconditioning is always a good money saver :)
