Re: Window malfunction - Door Windows Drop.

Hey all I know this topic is super old so hoping some of you are still around to answer this. My 2010 Scirocco's passenger side window has started to randomly wind itself down halfway and the window no longer drops the required inch or two when you try to open the door. I used the Carista Bluetooth ...

Re: Cigarette lighter power after ignition off

Hi All I know this post is old but I'm hoping some of you are still active on here. My Rocco sits on the driveway all week (I get the train to work), so the battery slowly drains thanks the OEM immobiliser and cat1 alarm AND tracker installed. It's left me stranded a couple of times with a flat batt...
