Re: AUTO LIGHTS
OK if you have halogen light do this steps. By the way it worked on MY 2009 ROC so i don't know if it will work on newer rocs. Anyway. 1. set your lights on "0" 2. Put your key in the ignition but don't do anything else just leave it there 3. Turn your indicator light down and turn the hi...

Re: would you accept it?
My last 2 cars have been via Vindis... All I had to do on both occasions was ask them to not put any dealer stickers when placing the order. It goes on the order form, and the sales exec duly makes sure there are none on the car when u come to collect it! Job done no stress involved! :yes: good to ...

would you accept it?
i've always wondered people's opinion's on this, "dealer advertising" cars i often see around here all have dealer added window stickers & even badges with "myvolkswagan.co.uk" advertised, i've seen worse than that, I've seen Scirocco's with the "vindis" group logo ...

Re: ACC Anyone actually notice the difference?
there is a def. a diference between the settings; Comfort - the engine revs at a much lower rate. On auto, it will upshift quite early. Steering is light and shock absorbtion is better. Sport - drinks more fuel & the opposite to the above! The brakes are also more responsive. Too responsive! i ...

Re: car, ipods & the cold
I'm glad you posted this. Very interesting that someone else has the same problem as me. I have noticed that since the weather has started warming up, I have not had this issue. What I find odd is that it never used to happen in my old car (Winter or Summer) when the iPod was left in the glove box ...

Re: how much mpg you get?
Does any one know the MPG for a 1.4 TSI? (Petrol obviously) The reason I ask is that my courtesy car is getting 27.5 and it just cost me £82 to fill it up and I'm really hoping the Roc wont be so costly!! im hitting 275 miles for my £64 at the moment, that just to and from work, driving around town...
