Re: XDS

You mean that ALL roccos (from 45week 2009 with new climate control, and on)
have XDS software pre installed, and you can just activate it via vcds?
Are you sure? As far as i'm concerned, from week 45, it was an option from the factory, with a cost approximately
of 240euros...

i heard the replacement, but ΒοΒ looks more chic than dark maroon... :nod:

Re: Colour changes

I was dreaming about a year now that sumatra would be my choice along with the sport package, which includes among other things, cashmere "catch up" cloth backet seats, at least in the Greek market. However, BOB colour seems to have a little bit more of brown in its colour, making it less ...

Re: A mis-specced Scirocco?

A long story but I'd appreciate your advice so please bear with me. I went to my local dealer Wednesday and ending up getting a Solutions quote on a Scirocco.

Re: Windows and Sunroof open with the remote!

So am I the only one who has been driving the car for 5 months now and only just discovered this? I knew they closed with the remote if you pressed it down for a few seconds longer (which is fairly standard in most cars nowadays) but didn't realized you could open them as well! Serves me right for ...

Re: VW Driver Magazine Performance Figures

How do these figures occur?
Even the factory has not such optimistic numbers for it's cars.
Most road tests figures occur with a driver , codriver, instruments for measuring car's capabilities
and a half or 3/4 tank.

Re: Catch up - Brown alcantara

Its just personal preference, you should go for it if you like and not worry about what other people think! I wanted black leather as the carpet, dash, door handles etc etc are all black and silver, I just think it look more complete when everything matches. Thats just my opinion :) 8) I do like it...

Re: Catch up - Brown alcantara

Why doesn't anyone like this combination?
It's chic, gives warmth to the car, and actually
feels more spacious too than merlin and black leather or
alcantara as well.
Don't think that truffle leather is better...
for the amount of money that it costs. :D
