Should my dipped beams stay on when mains are?
When I turn on main beam the dipped lights still stay on, making a very bright patch close ahead that makes the main beam seem dim. What do you think?

Help me choose the right Golf GTI!
I am thinking about changing the car at the moment. Currently have a 2008 mk V Golf GTI and was thinking of upgrading to a mk VI, probably around 2011/2012 reg. Thing is, would I be better waiting a year and picking up one of the mk VII models that came out late last year instead? And also, new GTI instead of new GTD for driving enjoyment?

Does the clutch bite point vary between cars?
When testing a demo 2014 Volkswagen Jetta, low mileage, I found the clutch bite point to be high compared to my Opel Astra's. Is this normal for Volkswagen cars?

Should I be worried about oil consumption in my Scirocco?
I've an 18-month old Volkswagen Scirocco 1.4 TSI with 23,000km on it bought new. It isn't driven hard at all, but I had to put a litre of oil into it today because the warning light came on; is this normal? Should I be getting it checked out by Volkswagen? The on-board computer says next service is still 7,000km away?
