Re: Heated Seat Problem
did you find anything loose? also I assume the fuses are all ok? Yes, all sorted now, thanks ... A quick glance underneath the passenger seat revealed two bare pins that should have formed part of a molex connector hanging down and resting on the seat frame :shock: I re-inserted the pins into the m...

Heated Seat Problem
Done almost 80,000 Miles now, without any issues whatsoever until today ... I switched the heated drivers seat on and then realised after a few minutes that it wasn’t warm. After looking at the switch, the 3 orange lights weren’t on, so doubting whether I’d actually pressed the switch in the first p...

Re: Dealers & Customer Service, are they compatable ?
I've had the half hour test drive on the 22nd Sept a further 40mins working out whether they wanted to match the CarWow offer from a rival garage. The garage I'm using is one of these big brand new buildings on a trading estate, everyone under thirty rushing around clutching bits of paper ! Scrutin...

Re: 2.0 TDI 150KM burns quite lot of oil
Nothing to be concerned about. Really depends on how heavily right-footed you are. I have done 70,000 miles in mine in 2 years, and top up regularly. My more feather-footed colleagues hardly ever top up between services, if at all.
Enjoy your car !

Re: Playing music etc from external sources
I have similar issues with mine too Dave, when toggling through tracks on Apple Music on my iPhone 6S. I kind of accept it, and just use the touch screen to select the tracks instead of the phone. Probably not much help as it's not really a fix, but I'm glad to say that I don't let such things consu...

Same here ...
Downloaded, unzipped and overwrote previous files/folders on original SD card. All good each time.
No idea what Discovercare software is though.

New Maps
Probably old news to some, but just a heads up to those unaware that the new maps are out ... Most obvious change from May 2016 update is that a space is no longer required (or accepted) between first and last 3 digits of postcode ...

Re: Apple Carplay
Don't know anything about functionality but definitely the dealers can activate it, for a fee, needless to say. I was looking at using Google version but decided it wasn't worth the cost. The dealers can't activate it in an MY2015. They can provide you with a code for Mirrorplay, but a 2015MY is no...

Re: Navigation Pro SD card problem
OP - You've already created the entries in the FAT relating to the the (now deleted) number of excessive files.
My advice would be to re-format the card, and then copy your files over again, observing of course any stipulated limit.
Hope this helps,
Ic.

I have only ever associated such disc scratching with pads that are down to the metal. I use adaptive CC all the t...

Re: standard suspension vs non adaptive sports suspension
My GT estate has the Sports Suspension. I like the lower stance, although it certainly doesn't turn in as sharply as the B7 with sports suspension. The rear end's also rather floaty though swift changes in direction at speed. When I had my B7 with sports suspension, I drove one without, and the diff...
