Re: Loss of power

Could be the vacuum seal on your turbo. Mine did the same thing, but would come back ok when you restarted the engine, but then go into limp mode if you revved hard.

Re: Broken turbo on TDI

True, but given what I was bracing myself for, I actually feel ok about it all.

Re: Broken turbo on TDI

Turbo Vacuum Valve needs replaced - £321 all fitted. Can't complain given what the cost and hassles could've been if it'd been the whole turbo. Just hope it fully fixes the problem.

Re: Broken turbo on TDI

Ta. Fingers crossed it's not the whole turbo, but always good to go in with as much knowledge as possible.

Re: Broken turbo on TDI

Resurrecting an old thread for a bit of advice please. Been noticing recently a seeming delay in the turbo kicking in and general lower oomph. Thought I was just being a hypochondriac then yesterday on a drive up past the Rest and Be Thankful (the Scots on here will know the bit of road I mean), I w...

Re: IOS7

I used to have a similar situation with iOS 6 that the track playing was out of sync with that displayed. Only happened occasionally though. That's using an iPhone 4.

Re: iPhone 5s anyone?

Yes - I think this must be an iPhone5(s) feature as I can't find it on my 4. Under Settings, General, Accessibility, and then switch on Reduce Motion which turns off the home screen's parallax view. It's on everything but the 4. Really disappointed with the feature compared to the demo shown early ...

Media-in stopped working

Right guys and gals, it's problem time. Got in to my car after work, turned on the engine and plugged my iPhone 4 in the MDI and got nothing. The 'Media-in' selection disappeared from the touchscreen too, only offering a greyed out 'Aux' instead. Phone was still showing as charging so the cable seem...

Not enough to upgrade from my 4! Especially as my contract is minuscule compared to the new 4G contracts and the outlay for the phone.

Re: Scirocco facelift spied in the US

Glad they don't seem to be tinkering too much with it. Will be interesting to see how they spec it up in terms of engine and options as that's where the Roc is starting to lag behind.

Re: MK7 GTI test drive today......pretty good.....

Amazing specs, but those two pictures don't excite me. A Roc with that engine in it and updated equipment spec would be special.

Re: 170 or 140 bm

170. And that's from a 140 owner. 140 is a great car, but for the £90 pa saving I'd rather have the 170.

Have a look here:

It's not too hard to get at the sidelight, but not sure if you can just replace the lens or need to replace the whole sidelight.
