Re: Brake pad lifespan

Thanks for the help.
Apparently there's damage to the wiring loom which has previously been taped up! I suspect that it's the place that changed the springs for me...
Beware!!!

Thought it was shockingly low milage on a set of pads!!!

The brake pad check light came on on mine the other day so it's now booked in at the dealer to be looked at. I know it depends on driving style etc but my car has only done about 15k, seems low mi...

Re: Cross winds

An aerodynamic shape should make the car less susceptable to wind so it can't be that. Only driven mine once in high wind and did notice that the car was twitchy. This was when it was on stock springs and in comfort mode. I just switched to normal setting and it was fine. It's the only time I've use...

Re: Picking up my scirocco saturday but have one problem!

pretty sure there's a section of the v5 that needs to be completed to correct the details and the DVLA will then send you a corrected log book. not a big problem. enjoy your car :clap:

aerial cables -RNS 510

noticed when I took my shark fin aerial off the roof the other week that there are 2 cables, 1 with a blue plug and 1 with a purple plug. The blue is for the sat nav i think but what about the purple one? This was not connected to anything - i'm guessing it's TV. Any ideas?
