Re: additional carrier bag hook in the boot

yup, thats exactly what I mean, but for the life of me cannot see any holes at all.

Its not like there are holes that are painted over or there are covers, its just metal, no stamps no nothing, just smooth solid metal going across :???:

additional carrier bag hook in the boot

hi

Got a b8 saloon with one carrier bag hook in the boot, right handside behind the driver, I've looked on the left handside but cannot see any holes so can an additional handle be fitted? are the holes covered or something or do they just not exist thus non extra hooks?

Thanks

Newer version of maps than 8477

Is there a more up to date version of the rns-510 maps, currently have 8477 installed, seen a few on eBay that have higher numbers, e.g 8536, are these legit?

According to the wiki
http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.ph ... ystem_Maps
V16 is available, which is 8536

Re: Wipers stop when stationary!!

my b6 does that.

When in auto mode, when car is stationary wipers stop unless I move the switch to the rightmost in which case they sometimes do an additional wipe or two if needed.

Assuming you currently have red half height clocks. If you buy a red full height cluster (clocks) then its plug and play, no new bits no nothing, will have to get the new cluster reset so it matches the milleage on your current clocks. If you go for white cluster, then you will either need to cut th...
