theres a way to stop them working (if you can remember how many times you've washed the screen, since they don;t go every time)
I think it's pulling the stalk quickly twice avoids them working (or pull the fuse) and I agree they're useless, despite being required by law on cars with Xenons

Re: Automatic Windows&mirros Close on Lock
I still miss my auto fold mirrors that my 2007 Leon had, means I rarely fold the mirrors since I have to do it manually, meaning the option was a waste of money and I have also found myself driving off down the road on several occasions in last 3 years with the mirrors still folded. Probably not hel...

Re: RNS firmware and map cd
there is little risk from the maps, I'll not say where mine came from but it's worth getting them from someone you know, so you know they work.

Re: RNS firmware and map cd
Hi dstill. I can only tell you of my experience, I got hold of a more up to date firmware, but my unit died whilst I was trying to install it. whilst not a common problem, it is a known risk of trying to update firmware. Having spoken with a couple of non-VW suppliers of RNS510, they both told me th...

Re: Do people still remap their cars?
My 2.0TSi 200ps was mapped at 7months old (after I had it 3months) at the time REVO were claiming 260ps, think they have wound it back a bit in the later ones. Love it....32000 miles later

Re: Superchipped already? Rear tire camber.
I only get the rear tyre noise a about 30-40mph then it is presumably drowned out?
What sort of rear tyre life are people getting? I am on 37000 and there's not THAT much wear...

Re: Window shopping in car parks.
I came back to mine the other day in the middle of a supermarket carpark, to find a trolly nicely wedged against the (luckily still turned) front wheel. Dunno how it got there, as car was front into the parking space as was the one in the next space, but lucky I left it with the wheels turned :-)

my local VW dealer has a fleet of Polo 1.2's as their courtesy cars (guessing if you have a Phaeton or Touareg they wouldn't give a Polo though)
