2006 VW Golf Introduction

The Volkswagen Golf is a compact car / small family car manufactured by Volkswagen since 1974 and marketed worldwide across six generations, in various body configurations and under various nameplates -- prominently as the Volkswagen Rabbit in the United States and Canada (Mk1 and Mk5), and as the Volkswagen Caribe in Mexico (Mk1).

The front-wheel drive Golf was Volkswagen's first successful replacement for the air-cooled Volkswagen Beetle. Historically, it is Volkswagen's best-selling model and the world's third best-selling model, with more than 25 million built by 2007.

Most production of the Golf was initially in the 3-door hatchback style. Other variants include a 5-door hatchback, estate/wagon (Variant, from 1993), convertible (Cabriolet and Cabrio, 1979-2002), and a Golf-derived notchback saloon/sedan, variously called Volkswagen Jetta, Volkswagen Vento or Volkswagen Bora (from 1979). The cars have filled many market segments, from basic personal cars, to high-performance hot hatches.

2006 VW Golf Questions & Answers

Question: How do you change the bulb in an 2006 VW Golf wing mirror blinker?

Question: How much does the 2006 VW Golf Rabbit 2 door cost?
We got a car with clean car history for $10000. The salesman said it was a 4000 dollar mistake. It was supposed to be 14000 but it was a typo. We said it was false advertising so we got the car. Is it a mistake?

Answer: looks like the salesman was trying to pull one of his scams on you. its a tactic they use - they advertise the price of a car, like this rabbit, for a low price (like 10000) to attract buyers. the buyer will then come to the dealership, ready to buy a car, but then finds out that the dealer "made a typo". the whole point is to lure in buyers like you into their dealership so they can make you buy their cars.

btw, it was a "mistake" - a 2006 vw rabbit should be about 14000+, 10000 is very cheap

Question: My 2006 VW Golf 2.0 SDi is using about 1 Litre of oil every 6000 miles. Is this normal?
