Re: tax and mot
Don't forget insurance - if you have no MOT then your insurance company may not pay any claim. Check with them before making the trip to the MOT testing centre.

Re: Keyless entry
I have an issue with it - its a good idea but flawed in its execution as you still need to carry a normal (looking) key fob for the system to work.
It should have been replaced by a credit card sized gizmo that could be kept in a wallet or purse.

Re: Air Con problems
Use your air-con from time to time all year round - its useful in Winter for removing condensation and keeps the seals intact and prolongs life of the system. If you are out of warranty and have a problem consider using a specialist auto air-con outfit rather the the dealers as they are likely to ge...

Re: Dipped beam on one headlight not working
You would get that at the parts counter of a VW dealer..... they would likely need to order it for you so perhaps phone and pick it up when it comes in (can often be next day).

Re: VW service and MOT courtesy cars.
My 12 plate is due a service in 3 weeks. As it's 2 years old the online booking service recommends new brake fluid and an aircon service. Just wondering if this is necessary? It's done almost 20,000 miles. As said earlier - total tosh and the dealer trying to make a fast buck out of you for work th...

Re: RNS510 theft prevention
Best security for the RNS is that it looks exactly the same as the standard RCD to the untrained eye!

Re: Good deal or not
I'm confused - you imply you got them to throw the service plan in to the deal but then say you paid for it?

Re: Car Wrapping
If you wrap the entire car, you do not need to tell the DVLA as it's not permanent, insurance wise... Disclose everything that's visible. I am not convinced this is true now. The perceived colour of the car is changed so it should be refelcted on the V5. From a practical point of view - if you car ...

Re: Opinion on 1.4 122 tsi
Not driven that engine in a Scirocco but had it in a (manual) Golf Mk.6 - I found it to have respectable performance and be 100% reliable. You will be fine with it unless you are looking to beat people off the line at green lights....

Re: Part-Ex or Private Sale?
In other peoples experience, how easy have they found it to sell their Scirocco privately and have they managed to achieve a good price for it I found it impossible in February and March and had my 61 plate GT TDI170 on Autotrader for a month. I eventualy took it to my servicing dealer who offered ...

Re: kmh Reading
Not tried this - but if you keep the 'digital speed' item (ie the big display) ticked in 'MFD data' but change the units back to kph - does this change to kph also?
