Re: Squeaky Noise When Foots Planted ??

Agree Trix, but reporting it to the dealer is always a good thing in my book. Probably won't speed things up but at least they know of the issue should a fix be a long time in coming and the car ends up out of warranty etc.

Re: What MPG are you 140 owners getting ?

40 - 45 per average tank full. Drive about 100 miles a day but do have a heavy foot :) The addition of average speed cameras on half my M1 drive has upped it to closer to the 50 mark for the time being though.

Re: problem with dsg

However the car as a whole feels much more responsive and is a joy to drive. The downside is my average MPG has bottomed out at a new low. My daily c...

Re: Hole free parking sensors

Was thinking of taking the 12v supply from the socket in the boot. Any input / advise? Only trouble with that would be it being constantly on, taking it from the ...

Re: Rattles and road noise?

I guess I'd be much happier with an Audi .. I hate rattles and road noise on sports cars. Errr No. I have a 2008 TT and it has about 5 different rattles that need sorted. I just P/x'd my 2006 A3 s-line owned from new over the last 2 and a half years and went back to Audi at least 4 times for strang...
