Some rattles
The rattles have started. I have one from the glove box and one from three of the doors plus one from the upper dash. Anyone else got any and know who to eliminate?

Re: Driving mode - no Individual
How do you guys who don't have DCC go about adjusting the individual drive mode. I don't have a button beside the gear lever either.

Re: Little panel at top of door
Haven't time for pic right now but if you open your drivers door and look at the top left corner of the door card you'll see a small triangular plastic panel that just pulls out. The weird tool thing is behind it and can be easily taken out.

Re: Driving mode - no Individual
I'd say it does make a difference as you have to be able to select your chassis mode. I assume then that cars without DCC don't get to tweak the steering and engine response etc.

Little panel at top of door
At the top front corner of each front door there is a little panel that easily pulls of. Behind it there is a strange looking removable plastic tool of some kind. Anybody know what it is?

Driving mode - no Individual
When I go in to the driving mode selection menu I get Eco/Comfort/Normal and Sport but no Individual. Is that normal?

Thanks for that info. Do you have the discover pro? How was the car otherwise on the trip?

Those wheels really suit that. Can't wait to get mine. Took my colleagues out to lunch yesterday and drove to a lovely country pub next to a trout stream in Hampshire.

Re: Choice of car colour
Every time I try to upload a pic of my car it tells me the file is too big. I'm simply snapping the car with my iphone. How do I make the file smaller?

Re: strange noise
You describe my noise very well - a sort of metallic sounding on-off (not a rattle) pinking sound when going over bumps or speed ramps coming from driver's side rear. I took the car to the dealer today. They examined it and could find nothing suspension related. Then we went out for a spin together ...

Re: Dynaudio quality?
Yeah, you chose the setting - Dynamic etc and then tweak it with the bass, treble etc.

strange noise
There's a strange noise from the driver's side rear. It's a kind of metal sounding click which only occurs going over bumps or maybe round some bends. It's not a rattle, it's a one-off noise - until the next time!
Anyone got any ideas?

Re: Dynaudio quality?
I have a GT with Dynaudio on the Estate version. It has a subwoofer in the boot on top of the spare wheel. My verdict is that this is ok but is ear splittingly loud to the point of major distortion at the mid point on the volume control. Not sure I would spec my next car with Dynaudio as it is very...

Couple of questions re satnav and sms.
I had no luck with the last questions so maybe I'll do better with these! 1. How do you turn the satnav voice guidance on and off? 2. How do you get the car to notify you when you get a text? Unless I happen to check and see the little envelope symbol I'd never know. Is there a way to get it to beep...

New owner - couple of questions!
I picked up my 2.0 150 Highline Business Edition today. Very nice. Pics to follow if the sun ever comes out. I have a couple of questions for you guys who already have one: 1. I have memory seats and the driver's seat moves back when you're getting out and forward when you're getting in. Is there a ...

Re: Dynaudio quality?
I just picked up my car today with Dynaudio. It's good but I don't think it's worth the extra over the base system as the base system is very good. The Dynaudio is clearer but not as much bass. However I reckon it could take a while to break in and I'm maybe being a bit harsh - but I wasn't blown aw...

Thanks. I know the R-line have their own unique ones. But the regular ones are meant to have 'Passat' lettering but in real life they don't!

Scuff plates
According to the Product Guide the Highline model (GT in UK) should have 'Scuff plates front and rear with ''Passat'' lettering'. However none of the cars I've seen in the flesh or in photos actually do. They have scuff plates ok but not with the lettering. Has anyone seen or got one with the letter...

Re: 150ps or 190 ps?
It's a good thing I said I was only 99.9% sure I was right 'cos it looks as though I was totally wrong! I asked my dealer and he said he was almost sure that the 150 doesn't use adblue. Excellent news and my apologies,
