Re: GT 170. MPG

I never get over 44mpg.... Maybe there's something wrong with mine too ;-).

Or I've got a lead right foot....

Re: Scirocco noise generator

It's to give the engine a sporty tone.

The BMW m3/m5's have a similar system (through the stereo).

It is purely to make the engine (which is quiet) into something it isn't!

Think of it as a noise enhancer - "audio tuning" for the driver.

Re: RNS 510 Speed Cameras

I think gps underground or vwnavi sites will help you.

Speed cams don't alert you, but just show up on-screen as points of interest.

Don't get your hopes up about warnings etc... The rns firmware just doesn't do it.

Re: RCD 510 or RNS 510

But if you're going the iPod route, you really don't need cd's.....

You could always get a 32gb SD card for music mp3's as well.

I've moved from the rcd to rns, can haven't looked back.

RNS510 - New Firmware

Just found that Firmware 4120 is available..... I've installed it myself, and things seem a little speedier. You also get Radio-Text on FM. As usual, it's a balls ache to burn to CD, then install. Takes 56 minutes to update. Link here... http://gpsunderground.com/forum/volkswagen-seat-skoda/17948-fi...

Anybody know alignment settings for lowered scirocco GT170

I'm on 18's, and had the alignment set back to factory settings.

I wouldn't suggest anything else - front camber is virtually non adjustable, and the factory settings are pretty good!

HELP im in desperate need of some info lowering problems

It shouldn't be knocking on those - I've got the same setup.

Are you sure everything is tight as it can be - nothing left undone?

You certainly don't need shorter drop links.

I'm guessing that the top mounts are loose.

New Tyres

Many thanks for the feedback, I'll give one of these a whirl :) They've stopped Toyo T1r's now, as they would have been my first choice. Not saying you are wrong, but what suggests that to you? I notice they're still listed on Toyo's own site, and can be ordered from Blackcircles. On black circles ...
