Re: Tracker

I have a tracker, cost £230 and installed it myself. Has a whole range of setting from geo-fencing to motion detection. I have it set up to "report in" by GPRS every 24 hours so I know that its working and that costs me about 1.5p per day. Shows up its location on a map on my PC. If it is...

Re: long delay on warranty fix

Are these problems from the dealer you had the car from?? Just take the car to another dealer to sort the problem.

My last car was a MB and had the latest comand sat nav system fitted, think it was a £2500+ option! The VW one is much better IMO.

Re: To Dsg or Not To Dsg

DSG all the way, if you drive in rush hour traffic it will be worth its weight in gold. Don't forget you can also use it in a manual mode as well as full auto. One thing I would say is that in comfort setting the box does like to get in 6th as quickly as possible which can be a pain. Where as in spo...

Re: Turbo engine cooling time?

I've had turbo cars in the past and only left it to over run for few minutes when its been raced hard and the turbo as been used alot. If I've parked up after normal drive I just switch it off. Not sure if this is right or wrong but never had any issuses with the turbo.

Re: Amping OEM speakers

Think you'll find the standard sound system is very good, unless you like driving around in a baseball cap with all the windows down and meeting up with chavs at Mcdonalds... Go into a dealers and turn up the sound and see (or hear) for yourself.

Re: harsh ride on 122

I would suggest you go for a test drive in a civic type R, then you'll know what harsh is!! Then once you get back into the scirocco it'll seem like the smoothest car in the world :)
