Re: "No Biodiesel"

I don't really understand... I can see how it is lower quality if petrol is part ethanol, but diesel quality ought not to decrease too much with oil blends.

Re: Meet in PARIS

Sure if enough of us go at least one of us will remember to drive on the wrong side!

Re: Wiper Blades (sorry)

So has anyone had any luck via VW or the dealer in getting this fixed? Nothing is working for me and I'm starting to go a bit crazy.

Re: "No Biodiesel"

Very interesting, thanks... Almost all garages around me are either B5 or B30, so I guess I'll just have to avoid the B30 ones.

Re: RNS 510 Version A vs Version B

Oisin - this looks dodgy to me. Matter of personal opinion, but the layout etc doesn't look right and the resolution and fonts etc don't look the same as the 510. It doesn say "aftermarket" radio.......the RNS 510 in the title doesn't state that it is an RNS 510. I would get him to confir...

"No Biodiesel"

I keep meaning to post to ask about this sticker every time (read: every occasional time thanks to my roc's amazing mpg) I put diesel in. I wonder why the scirocco would specifically state no biodiesel when I know VWs in general are great cars for running on everything - even straight veg oil.

Re: RNS 510 Version A vs Version B

Also for example, these ones: it says aftermarket, but it looks a lot like the factory one... anyone have any info on these? http://cgi.ebay.ie/NEW-VW-GPS-NAVIGATION-RNS510-MFD3-MFD2-DVB-T-EUROPE-MAP_W0QQitemZ370264847299QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_AudioTVElectronics_GPSSystems_GPSSystems?hash=item5635813...

RNS 510 Version A vs Version B

I did some searching and cannot actually find a direct answer. What is the difference between version a and version b?

Re: Factory alarm?

Yeah there's definitely not an alarm installed. :(

I think I'll contact someone about the Cobra 3868 - apparently it works though the factory fob and everything.

Re: Factory alarm?

Is it possible to buy the factory alarm and fit it myself? Like off of ebay or something?
Or is it better to just buy something like the Cobra 3868 and have it installed?

Re: Factory alarm?

Well that's what I was wondering... it could just be dealer B.S. but better safe than sorry. I guess I wouldn't mind putting in aftermarket alarm, but I'd rather have the factory one if possible.
