Re: Heated seat & control malfunction

Does the indicator change from 3 yellow LED's to two then one as you keep pressing, or does it stay the same?

Actually when I think about it, mine resets to off when I turn off the ignition. Might be the relay stuck in a closed position

Re: Car Park warning in Preston

Hello Mark, I bit the bullet and paid up as I have been away and only had yesterday to pay the 60 otherwise it would have increased to 100 and sent to a debt collection agency. Are you suggesting it was a scam, because we rang the store in question and they gave me a number to call so it seemed legi...

Re: Thermostat 2.0tsi

Treat it to some new coolant as recommended by VW.
Glycol has many other functions than just being an anti-freeze, and it does deteriorate with time and miles.

Re: Whining noise..

It doesn't happen when accelerating in a straight line, or around gentle corner or if I travel around a bend at speed... but as soon as I accelerate from low speeds around a tight bend I can hear the noise. As said, the best way I can describe this noise is a kind of electronic whining sounds.... I...

Re: Scirocco facelift spied in the US

Please, please Volkswagen don't ruin the front end, its the best feature, does look good being a lowered a little on the suspension. I think it would be good if a few new coiours were added, the scirocco would look great in Yellow. Roc and Yeyeyeyyyyyellow? Go the whole hog and suggest we all start...

Re: Questions regarding DSG and LSD

Hi Kinli, Downshift is ok in D. Sport mode everything seems to react quicker, except me. Comfort mode on the ACC is noticeably different from Normal and sport setting. The DSG really is as someone else has said, a marmite thing, you either love it or hate it. If I had another R it would be DSG, simp...

Re: Collect Now or Wait!!??

Hi all, I ordered an R-Line in June and was told it would arrive mid-Sept. It appears that it is now at the dealers so not sure how much value I will potentially lose out when I trade it in if I collect it now (I'm very impatient!!), as opposed to waiting for Sept 1st and having it as a 63 plate?
