Re: RNS510 Updating and Experiences

ok I am sure I have missed something....

My Roc whilst regd in Sep 2009 was made in Feb 2009. Not sure which version RCD510 I therefore have, nor which firmware update I need to search for? anyone point me to the right version? mildly confused over versions 27** and 13**?

Cheers

Re: poor build quality rocco

Had mine since Jan 2010 (it was 4 months old then) and I think mine has the same build quality as Richard.... I love the car overall and just have to turn up the stereo to try to hide the metallic rattle from the rear somewhere that the dealer can't find and the general buzzes/rattles from all aroun...

Re: New Tyre Advice

interestingly, when I replaced my Pirelli P-zero Rosso's, with the same, the retailer checked both 91 and 95 ratings (even though I neded 95 according to what is on the car) and the higher rating were £15 per tyre cheaper than the lower. Allegedly due to selling more of the higher rating they work o...

Re: VW breakdown cover supplied with new cars?

So when the 12 months comes to an end, VW assistance charges £109 per year to continue the cover (interestingly some £30 more than Seat charge for their 3rd year since Seat provide 2 years with the car unlike VW) Is it worth it? I see in my TESCO clubcard vouchers I can get RAC recovery from them so...
