Re: Wiper Blades

well I reckon that's the least i've ever lost! Still all relative considering the lack of big deals off the GTI, they give in one hand and take it back in the other. Good dealer though Loders, family owned, seem like they care more than a lot of others, good service from martin in sales and they tw...

Re: Can a RCD510 accept output from a TomTom Go510?

I can't tell you a certain answer as I'm not an expert on these things but I do have a tomtom and an RNS510 and i would very much doubt that your idea would work. The navigation system in the VW unit has no similarities with the TomTom system except that they will both get you to a destination. You'...

Re: Help needed

I believe the RCD / RNS 510 only accepts SD cards. If you have an MDI slot you are better off getting one of these, i have something similar. Plugs directly into your PC to add music. usb.JPG absolutely right. The only card which it reads is SD. Just buy yourself a nice big USB stick like this (no ...

Re: Air conditioning question? 2Zone or Climatic?

I reckon (but don't actually know) that the hardware under the bonnet is identical. The semi auto system has temperatures marked on the dial but that just sets the temperature of the air coming out of the vents. If you get the 2 zone you just set it to auto, dial in 19.5 degrees and leave it alone! ...

Re: Boot Lid resprayed when new.. help

Who did you get your finance from? If you got it from VW then i'd guess so, if it's just a bank loan I'd keep paying it off. Can you keep your first car while they get you a new one? If so I'd say definitely go for it as you'll get the new instruments and steering wheel........

Re: Bluetooth Handsfree

I've had loads of handsfree units over the years and the only ones that have been useable up to motorway speeds have been the Nokia fully integrated kits and the Skoda unit which is now integrated with the RNS510. In my van I just use a plantronics bluetooth headset which is great. One of my workmat...

Re: Boot Lid resprayed when new.. help

my 2 penneth. Unless you've got photographs of the bonnet without chips before you took it to them then unfortunately you can't prove that they did it. Did you have any paperwork when you dropped the car off that recorded the mileage? If so then obviously you'll be able to see if it's been anywhere ...
