i've been using vcds on win10 ok.

I took mine in through the bit where the heating pipes go through into the cabin, comes through above and behind the glove box.



You can also take them in through the ECU housing, but i found that was a harder route.

mostly been around the 320 miles per tank mark recently, but that's been shorter journeys and not the longer trips it used to do. Longer i get around 380

make sure you match the rolling radiuses otherwise your diff will poo itself.

Mum's new tiguan is the same, it's poo (and she hates the 'radar skirt' reversing system it's got too)

There's next to no room in the bay for mods, period. There was a twinturbo version that had the turbos under the back end although not sure how much extra power that made, other than the cool factor (dont think the guy who did it released power figures) The autos seem to suffer more than the manuals...

Yeah, if you get a remap on it it'll remove the restriction. I think they're good for in the region of 175...

From what i remember, officially you can't apple designed it so that music is one way only (from pc to phone). Was a few years since i last had to sort something like that out though. I think in the end i had to copy off the hidden music folder from the device, then use an mp3 renamer to put all the...

Best feature? Probably booting it in 2nd or 3rd and having it take off like a scalded cat

what you'll find is your miles per tank will take a hit. When i used my old pug for local only stuff, i was getting 100 miles less per tank than when i was doing 80 miles a day commute.

As has been said above, shouldn't do it any harm if you're taking it a run at the weekends.

is it the original stereo that came with the car? Try turning the ignition on, turning the radio on and when it says SAFE press and hold the > (or < i don't think it matters) button for about 5 seconds or so. It should learn the code from the car, if it's the original unit.

Each to their own, i think forced rat looks poo. However an older car with a bit of patina on it, looks like it's been through something, that i kinda like.

Probably not much help, but the unit you have is a gamma IV, the cable you have is for the gamma V unit.

From a W8 ? Amazing. I'm pretty sure the W8 has an 80 litre tank. Yeah, 80 litre tank. Was a trip from Llangollen to Porthmadog, welsh country roads with tourists on them so was a nice gentle drive. It had been reading 500 shortly before i took the pic, but at the time couldn't stop to take one. An...

Best i've ever managed in mine.


Also i have petrols cos i tend to do under 8000 miles a year, a lot of that is short journeys and diesels hate that. When i used to do 80-100 miles a day, then i had a diesel

2.8 on the front, 2.6 on the rear, that's normally light load. Don't usually go higher than that as the car's never really fully laden.

Well i've owned one for the last 6 years, (74k to 110k) and yes it's suffered the usual passat problems, and it didn't help having a taxi get up close and personal with the front end (which has caused me no end of issues since) but i still love driving it, and it still puts a smile on my face when i...

IIRC i was told it is on the drive tunnel under the dash so probably best approached from the side or behind the climate control panel. I've had my radio/stuff out recently and it's not accessible through the DIN cage.

if only i could afford the fuel bill Depends how you drive it, i get around 400 miles to a tank, 105 quid to fill with super. Although it's been off the road the past few months, when i was using it it was mainly 'fast' motorway work. Long term average was 24.8mpg. The problem isn't so much the fue...

Click on enquiry and put in the make and reg number it'll tell you what the current tax status is and how much.

I've a dell latitude tablet running win8 if that's any use. (although the tablet is no use at all, win8 is still several revisions behind android/ios in terms of mobile use)

The unknown round connector looks like a Sony D bus connector - autochanger cable. To get the aerial to fit you'll need a plug in adapter, they're cheap enough to source (got my last one from hallfrauds)

Of course, if you read the books, you'd know that already ;)

sorry no pic, but the plastic cover the standard one is in will unhook when you have the door card off, i just removed the standard tweet from the cover, took the new one out of it's grille and hotglued it into the cover.
