Re: Dynaudio - Sunday Times Review

That's not usually an issue with the professional audio installers, all the guys I've used in the past have been fantastic.

Plus, they can usually get all the stray nuts, bolts & screws out that VW left behind!

Re: Dynaudio help

Personally, I wouldn't bother with the Dynaudio. I speak from experience as I have bothered and I don't think it's up to much. Sure it's better than the standard set up and, at £400ish, it's good value for money. But, if it's exceptional sound quality your after, save the money and put it towards an...

Re: Mirror Down / Spare Key

Doh! Sorted this out now! As usual, dead simple! [both the problem & me it would appear... :rolleyes: ] The mirror down/reverse function did work. It appeared not to as both the 'normal' and 'down' positions of the mirror glass were the same! I still don't know how they had realigned with each o...

Re: Mirror Down / Spare Key

Thanks guys. I always thought that the keys had their own 'identity' and could do different things. I learned this from my Audi previously. When I first got the car I set them both up the same. Only recently has the key I use seemed to have lost it's way and even then only on the mirror down/reverse...

Mirror Down / Spare Key

Guys & Gals, Here's one for ya! The 'mirror down on reverse' function has worked fine & dandy on my car since I had it in December - with both keys.... This week, the function has ceased to operate, but only with one key, the key I use all the time [with the 'other' key it still works ok] I ...

Re: SD card

Nope, I only got the iPod lead. If you use USB can you see the tracks on the touch screen? I WISH you could rip from cd to the HDD but no! Pants! You should get both leads supplied with the car. If not, go back to your dealer and ask for it. This has been discussed many times before so you could tr...

Re: DSG - Anyone use the +/- nudge changer?

I use the stick most of the time whilst generally driving around :yes: .

I use the paddles when I'm driving with more 'spirit' :D .

I only use the auto function when I get stuck in traffic :no: .

Re: Courtesy Car

MB is correct - VW are under no obligation to supply you a courtesey car. However, you can try and 'negotiate' one. I had one for about six weeks, all I had to do was insure it. It's all down to the relationship you have with the dealer. I told my dealer right from the word go that my existing car h...

Re: Deposit Placed GT 170 TDI Candy White

Ian_Mac, Don't mind you asking at all mate, glad to share my experiences. I've done 12,000 miles since December 1st 2009 and over that period the average is at 46.2 mpg :yes: I do a fair amount of motorway miles, about 80 per day, and cruise around the 85mph mark most of the time.

Re: Deposit Placed GT 170 TDI Candy White

Great motor! You won't regret buying it! If you enjoy 'driving' you're in for a real treat. Best drivers car I've had in ages and good value for money too (IMO!) :yes:

Re: Pic of my Dubkorps Camo Roc

Had a good look at this today whilst at Awesome.

Have to say it's simply amazing. Looks even better in the flesh, the pic's just don't do it justice.

Superb!

Re: 170 tdi flat spot in 3rd at 4000rpm?

Can't say I've noticed this on mine. I've done 10,000 miles since I had the car mid December'09 and it's been faultless, however.... ...one thing I have started doing in the last couple of months is running it on Shell V-Power diesel. The difference is astonishing. The motor pulls much more cleanly ...

Depending on what they come back with, I'll determine my next move.

Will pm you if needed.

Re: Insurance Scam??

Thanks for your replies. I'm hoping that it's just mistaken identity, which, according to my broker, happens frequently.
