Should I repair or replace my trusty Golf?
The question
I have a 2007 Golf that needs replacement fuel injectors. Obviously that's expensive. Previously the car gave me no problems, however I'm wondering is this the start of issues. Is it time to replace or should I repair?

Hi Colette,
It shouldn't be. The MkV Golf was really well made and in fact actually had to be redesigned so that it cost Volkswagen less to build. Generally speaking, cost of repair is always less than cost of change but if you're getting spooked that the car is about to start running up big bills, have a word with your local Volkswagen dealer and get them to give the car the once-over. They'll either be able to reassure you or give you a good deal on a trade-in.
