Re: Tyres and jacking

Try having a look at Kumho Ecsta Le Sport, they're a midrange tyre (£120 ea) but get very good reviews if you google them. I've just had some fitted, I'm happy with the performance but don't know what the wear rate is like yet.

Who's got the highest mileage Roc?

Hi Guys

I was wondering if anyone uses their Roc to eat up motorway miles like me. I have a Nov 2008 Roc which I bought used in July 2009 with 9000 miles on the clock, I now have 44,000 miles on it ..... anyone got any higher? :lol:

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

Personally I would prefer the nudge changer to be pull back for upshift and push forward for downshift ..... seems more natural to me

No Rocco for a Month

Took my Roc into the dealer last week because the air con had stopped working. They said I couldn't drive it because the broken part was liable to shred the cambelt and there are no new parts coming in until the end of July !!! :cry:

Is Launch Control Standard on DSG?

I've followed the launch control procedure I found on this site, but mine doesn't seem to want to play ball...is it a standard feature?
