Re: Windows going half up then straight back down

It's dirt in the runners, increases resistance on the motors which triggers the anti-crush sensor/motor.

Had both sets of runners cleaned out by the dealer, doesn't happen anymore.

SD Card Sort Order

Quickie...

I've started putting all my music on SD cards as I find it easier. In windows all my songs are sorted by the filename, alphabetically. When the card is inserted in the RCD510 it appears to sort all the files in order of file size. Is it possible to change this?

Re: Scirocco Facelift 2013 - your ideas please..

Another vote for a more bespoke dash board. Also: Move the mirror controls next to the window controls, where they are currently seems an after thought. Bigger sunglasses holder, can't fit mine in (aviators) OSF mirror down as well as NSF Same exhaust tips on all models Better thought out glovebox, ...

Re: A few questions about my recently bought Rocco...

2) the headlights will not go off unless i switch it to side lights only, even when set to point '0' on the knob. This isnt normal is it? Normal. It's part of the new legislation for daytime running lights. I think they could have got away with just the little side lights but without looking at the...

Re: Selecting media from the ipod

I have the same questions - except I would prefer "Artists" instead. Every time I stop the car, it resets to "all songs". Even better would be for it to just go back to the folder last browsed, to be honest. When I first got my Rocco it used to remember previous track position, ...

Re: Changing headlamp bulbs

It's easy to take out...you just twist the holder and it pops out, pop in the new bulb then the trouble starts.

Unless you've got Jeremy Beadle hands it's a bit of a pig to line up then screw back into place. Took me lots of cursing and scratched up hands! :grumpy:

Seems strange to fork out £20k on a car then not spend £50 on mats!

Did you get the Premium mats?

Picture Request

I've managed to kerb every one of my 19s within the first year of ownership, which is clearly a disgrace. Anyway, I'm finding the Luganos a real pain to keep clean, so rather than have them refurbished to the original colour, I'm thinking of a change, namely to the same Anthracite they have on the A...

How could it be out of warranty if it is a UK model? The new Scirocco isn't even 3 years old, so none could be out unless it has been voided.
Could have done more than 60k ;)

Re: Dynaudio - Sunday Times Review

Is it possible to get the RNS 510 and stock speakers, and then afterwards have better speakers and an extra amp installed while it still works with the RNS 510 ? Or do you have to put in another system in the dash ? You can get something to sit inline, like an Audison BitOne, which takes the standa...

Personally, I think machine polish the way forward. SRP will just fill in the imperfections, but not resolve the issue.
