Re: engine wash 1.4tsi ?

Thanks for the quick response RW. I think ill take your advice and stick to the safe route, its been working well so far, and the Collinite and 303 combo work well, keeping the grime down to a light coating of dust. I would also recommend Megs Quick interior detailer, works really well for those day...

engine wash 1.4tsi ?

HI

Im planing to give my engine a wash this weekend, but before I do is there anything specific to the 1.4tsi motor that I need to cover/keep dry?
Reason I ask is that I've been to a few Dealerships here in S.A. who say they don't do engine washes on the 1.4tsi motor.

Re: What to play on a new car

It took me weeks to decide what song to pick.
I eventually decided on Rascal Flats - Life is a highway.

Re: Run Flat Tyres???

Jodie your car does have the self seal tyre.
Have a look at the pic you posted at around the 8'o clock position it says "seal inside".
I have the same set on mine.

Re: Can you stop the passenger window dropping?

I could be wrong here cause i only have my car for like 2 days, but I think if you turn off the auto lock function,
that setting where the car locks itself when you start driving. It should stop the windows from dropping when you remove the key.

Re: Dynaudio - Sunday Times Review

Flash you could be right, its been a very long time since I had a look at the Dyn price list The importer is a bud so i'm going to visit him this weekend to try and help The_Roc out. I love the older Dyn stuff, however when I decide to fit a new system to my Roc I will be fitting DLS (http://www.dls...

Re: MAINTENANCE PLAN VS SERVICE PLAN

Maybe but i'm no expert, i'm just going on what I been told.
It is however the only thing I can think of that would justify the huge cost difference.

Re: ANY ELSE WITH A DELAY IN BUILD DUE TO THE SUNROOF??

Avi , I would be inclined to believe VWSA because I have also received a build week of 38, and it stands to reason that if the factory is doing production run they would be inclined to group it according to country. If you do decide to rethink your order I have just been past VW in Woodmead and they...

Re: MAINTENANCE PLAN VS SERVICE PLAN

Hi I'm also from SA, decided to take the maintenance plan to 120 000km as I do a lot of milage. I am taking the 1.4 tsi so the price diff between the 90 and 120k is not that great. A friend at VW informed me that as far as he knows the huge price difference for the 2.0 tsi between 90 and 120k is for...

Re: Dynaudio - Sunday Times Review

@ The_Roc The Dynaudio option is simply not worth it in SA! IMO its a good system, good clean mid bass, crisp highs, decent staging, lacking low end response (to be expected as it does not have a dedicated Sub). but not worth the asking price here in SA. If it were the same price as in the UK I woul...

Re: ANY ELSE WITH A DELAY IN BUILD DUE TO THE SUNROOF??

Hey Avi I dont know exactly when the order went through, but the way I understand it is that your build date is only confirmed about a month before the car actually goes into production. I used McCarthy VW in Constantia, as they were the only dealers I found that we not completely useless and were w...
