Got mine 25th June, done 1500miles, no issues. Posted photo on photo thread. Loving it so far. Looking for a remap and at the minute.

Thanks Burn

As a newbie, what is the 'tap' turn signal and have I missed some Uconnect trick? John

Thanks for the update BAC. It is looking good. My Mileage is following yours at 27 to start then 34 now after 900 miles. Will post up some photos of mine when I have cleaned it up, perhaps this weekend(If I find out how that is, do you need to load onto another site first?) I am going scuba diving in Weymouth from Chesterfield 7-9 August so will update mileage after that. Will have 3-4 men + camping gear + 3-4 sets of dive gear so it will be a good test. May even have upgraded mapping by then. John

I think there are now quiet a few given the discounts on pre reg cars. My mate has one and lives 1 mile away. Only differenece is the nunber plate. What mpg are you getting? Mine has gone from 27 mpg to 33-36mpg in two weeks and should get 40+ I may get a remapp soon to get 10-20% more. Have you fitted any extras? towbar especially, dealer did not want to know. John

Hi, Got my Journey on 25th June. Done about 800 miles. Took back to dealers second day as wife phoned me at work as I arrived to say oil all over the drive. Looked under car and there was a lots of drips. Dealer got it on ramp and said its only the air con run off. He showed me the pipe. He laught and I felt daft and sculked off to work/home. Wife still says new car is leaking oil but it must be from my old car. Any way............ Its a UK spec 2.0 diesel CRD SXT 6 speed auto in Black. This is a volkswagon engine/gearbox. Its a pre reg, cost only £15000 and has sat nav/mygig etc. but no rear DVD screen. Mygig is great and yesterday I upgraded to lastest software, which is behind USA spec. (App 8.119 and GN 1289) Thinking about doing a remapping as its only 138HP and 229 lb ft. This I am told will typically add 30hp and 60 NM and up to 20% mpg Currently does 30-36MPG but want to get this up to 40-45MPG. Went to Florida in May for second time and had a Grand Voyager for second time hence now a Dodge. Yes that's why we have diesel in UK (diesel is £1.06/Litre and rising, about £80 to fill tank, not the $35 as per May.) Its a bit noisy though as soundproofing is not that great. Any tips on soundproofing in the Journey? Anyone done a remapp in the Journey diesel? What more can I say, the car is great if I can address the last 2 bits. All the best for the future of this site. Regards John
