I doubt your update will do anything, but good luck anyway.

Re: RNS315 on 2.0TDI Sport - Delivered June 11

Yeah, that's all fine, but it's a car clearly aimed at company car drivers, not private buyers. I love Tom Tom but have got fed up with leads all over the place, the DAB satnav in the Pasatt works perfectly with 7 digits, when used with Mfd it's a great system, as good as Tom Tom. I drive around ...

They look fine and don't dazzle anyone.

Hwang, you didn't give yourself that much of a payrise. With BMT the 2.0 is less than a tenne a month more

Re: Those little things

in the settings you are able to ajust the mute level when the sat nav voice comes on. The standard setting was too loud so I reduced it so I can clearly hear the instrucitons. Can't remember in which settings section mind because there are so many...

Re: Any tried a 140 and a 170 tdi?

Well to be fair the pd was totally dfferent, I preferred it. The cr levels things up a bit and with the gearing on the Pasatt there isn't a lot in it, in the Golf, I'd take the 170 any day. Not so much so in Pasatt, just wasn't enough in it for me so went for 140.

Re: Those little things

I remember reading somewhere why they do this, there is a reason bizarrely

Also, another little thing, when sat nav voice kicks in the radio is not muted it's just reduced a bit, but not enough, it's just racket

Enjoying the car though, superb company car, 8/10 due to the small things above

Those little things

Dor strips, not aluminium anymore

MDI with space for a phone or iPod in the glove box, yet it's so small a Blackberry won't fit in it

The seat just won't quite go low enough

The cup holders, try getting a coffee in one when driving

Satnav, like Tom Tom, about 2 secs to slow getting you in the ...

Re: The 1.6 TDi engine..

IT is all a big CON, just to get CO tax value down and create sales. I dont think the fuel prices will go up to make up the loss, TAX for cars will just rocket up and those poor people with 55mpg cars will pay through the nose to dare have a car with less CO than my fuel guzzling car that has more ...

Re: Any tried a 140 and a 170 tdi?

I had a 140 with a Dagon tuning box, which squared things up a bit, but in the Pasatt I'd stick with the 140. The Golf seems to be geared differently as the GTD is a road rocket, in the Pasatt its quicker but the difference isn't as noticeable, IMHO.

Re: The 1.6 TDi engine..

I'd like to add to this, just in case anyone else comes in here.

I've only driven VAGS for a while, last few cars, 1.8t, Golf GT and GTD, Pasatt estate 105 and others.

I drive 800 a week with work and I'm currently in a 140 MY 12 B7 Sport. If you crunch the miles and want a relaxing drive, avoid ...

Re: e-brake with manual transmission

Works perfectly for me, never use it, just leave auto hold on and my drive is on a slope. I just depress the clutch and away I go. I don't actually think ive used it more than half a dozen times. And I never leave the car in gear either.

I think there may be a lack of understanding how this works ...
