Re: Time for tyres!

I did add air a couple of weeks ago as they were looking low, as it happens, they were both at 29psi so bumped them up a little. I didn't expect that 500 miles or so at a higher pressure would make such a difference though? Spoke to the dealer - they were 7mm on the back and 6mm on the front when th...

Re: Time for tyres!

I noticed my front tyres are wearing on the two strips towards the centre (stock p-zeros). I only bought the car from the dealer just over a month ago, but have added 1000 miles since (now at 17.5k). Any ideas what the dealers stand would be on this? My first thought is that the dealer would say tou...

Re: ACC Anyone actually notice the difference?

Yes, there's a big difference:
The dampening of the suspension is increased in sport mode - less lift when you go over humps and less roll.
The brakes and throttle response is increased.
The steering tightens.

Re: Wheel Centre Cap White Worm

Having read this thread, I stopped by my local VW dealer yesterday and they replaced mine in the spot. I only bought the car 2 weeks ago from another approved dealer too. Seems odd that the approved centre didn't change them before allowing the car out, but hey go!

Cheers guys and girls.

Re: Bonnet support arm

That'd be me :)

My 52 plate corsa had a secure clip! I thought this one must have snapped but couldn't see signs of damage. Very peculiar.

Bonnet support arm

Is the support arm supposed to have a secure clip, or does it just rest on the two bits of plastic? Seems a bit loose if the latter (and how mine is) is the case.

Driver's seat position memory

So I've had the car for nearly two weeks now and last night was the first time I took passengers in the back. The passenger seat seams to remember where it was before being used for access, hut the driver's seat doesn't. Is this normal, or is there a fault with my seat?
