Re: New Scirocco TSi

Nice nice nice. It must have been built around the same time as mine. Had mine 2 weeks now and loving it!! Still to work out if it's a boy or a girl. My mates are split 50/50. Hehe.

Re: Short whistling sound when accelerating...

Ahhh. Ok. I'm loving it so far despite the quirky noise. Love the sound of (what I think) is the supercharger kicking in on acceleration from stationary. Sounds sweet! Loads of steep hills around here and makes a lovely growl, whistle (and little squeak sometimes) driving around. Hehe

Re: Short whistling sound when accelerating...

Had mine just over a week now and I get a short squeak on my 1.4 160 DSG already. started at about 200 miles. Only squeaks from stationary using mild to hard acceleration. Gentle acceleration doesn't seem to make it do it. Never done it yet when driving at speed though, only from stationary. Is this...

Re: ACC Anyone actually notice the difference?

Is it a really noticeable difference or really subtle? Just driven home 25 miles on the motorway and despite mucking around with it for the whole journey, the suspension seems exactly the same whatever mode it's in! :s

Re: Xenons - Surely there is a problem?

Asked the dealer to check mine based on other's experiences when my car arrived. Informed that they have been set up correctly but went out for my first night drive last night and Dipped Beam seems to be shining only about 10-15 metres in front of the car... Main beam is stunning, but can't see much...

RNS 510 with Bluetooth and MDI

Had my new 1.4 (160) TSI a few days now and I am completely over the moon and in love with it!! I thought that I would post a little issue here that I've discovered in case it helps anyone making their decision on what to buy. I've got the RNS Sat Nav system and VW Bluetooth fitted to my car. Using ...

Oh no... That's rather boring! Did they give you a reason why they can't supply them?

Colour MFD Images

I've been asked by a couple of people to upload some photos of the Colour MFD on my car (which I picked up this morning! :clap: ) I think that it looks great and has nice animations that move the menu through the various different pages and options. Not completely worked out how it all works yet but...

Re: Finally ordered my new car!

Hehe... thanks. :) I tried to take some through the window but that just wasn't working! It was nearly dark outside! The dealers was closed so couldn't get the keys off anyone and wandered around to find the car in the backlot. I'll post some more pics when I pick her up on Saturday.
