Rns 315 dab aerial help

Hi I’ve got a b7 140 sport bluemotion. It’s got the rns 315 headunit. The dab signal it’s not very good. Where is the aerial hidden? Is it the rear screen heater? Is there a better aerial I can add or a booster to improve the signal? Any help and advice welcome. Cheers. I’ve got a genuine vcds cable...

Body work warranty

Noticed while cleaning car I’ve get a few small patches of rust/paint bubbling up on edge of rear window trim and a seam near the boot.
It’s on a 2011 b7 would this be covered under the 12 year warranty?
Is it just a case of taking it in and getting it checked/sorted?
Cheers.

Re: Brake knocking noise?

I had both wheels off and checked all the bolts before taking it back. And wanted to check if they had any copper slip on back of pads. And the spring things were re fitted correctly.
There a decent garage local independent ( both Vw master techs)

Re: Engine light

Once they have changed the egr valve go and get it remapped to remove the emission update. I believe it could save you any more trouble in the future.

Re: Brake knocking noise?

Ok update went back to garage today.
Still knocking when braking. Up on the ramp nothing obvious/nothing loose. So they stripped it all down again cleaned /checked for any warping or cracks. Nothing. Re assembled.
No noise ??
Not much help to anyone else but my noise has gone.

Brake knocking noise?

I’ve just had new front discs and pads fitted(both Brembo)
I now have a knocking noise when I brake?
Any ideas?
I’ve checked the pads there not loose?
The spring on the caliper feels tight.
Nothing felt loose?
It’s speed related?

Re: VCDS - 09 Cent Elect Coding and Adaptation

I thought it was dependent on the modules fitted to your car.
I also can not dial sweep on mine.

I had mine remapped by Chris at CC Tuning in Burton on Trent. This was over 3 years ago and not had a sniff of problems with it. I tow a caravan too and although I'd never towed with this car pre-remap, it never feels like it's short on power. Hi was this a custom map done on the rollers? Or a gene...
