Re: Electrical Gremlins are Breeding!!
Must be the time of year, mines had a “key not in car” warning come up and yesterday after washing it I had a airbag error flash up, checked the car error messages and it was all clear. I've had the key not in car message come up quite a lot, normally when it's on the passenger seat. Just recently ...

Re: Electrical Gremlins are Breeding!!
Well after two days in the Passat hospital she's been discharged with a clean bill of health. DSG oil change has been completed (they ran out of time during the 40k service) and apparently the issue with her scaring the poo out me was the oil pressure switch and a section of wiring leading to it. Th...

Electrical Gremlins are Breeding!!
Well I've now had my lovely B8 2.0 TDI (150) GT DSG Estate for 18 months and loved every minute of it........almost. I wouldn't say I've done mega mileage (50,000) to date but I'm starting to experience a couple of weird electrical issues, one can be quite scary! Anyone else experienced the followin...

Re: new front tyres after 14k miles, seems a bit low?
Just changed the fronts on a GT 150 DSG Estate with the same again (Continental Self Repairing 18"s).

Re: Headlight Beam Change for Europe
OK, let's throw it out there. Has anyone managed to locate headlight covers/protectors for a B8 yet? Popped into Alan Days (Camden) today only to be told VW don't do them?? Trawled EBay and Amazon and can't find any there either. Surely someone must be making them by now.... I'm really loathing the ...

Re: Headlight Beam Change for Europe
You probably do :( not much help i m afraid, but also remember to remove them as they can damage the plastic of the light if left on. Also when i drove last time, i did forget to put them on, had no issues as was never driving in any situation that needed lights (ie night or poor weather.) They'll ...

Good plan dubber if I can get them in time.dubber36 wrote:Get a set of genuine headlight protectors. They come with pre-cut vinyl stickers and markings where to put them on.
If not I'll have to work out where they go on mine [emoji848][emoji848]

Headlight Beam Change for Europe
Hi, have a GT 150 DSG Estate (no LED's) and departing for France next weekend. Does anyone know if the headlight beam can be adjusted to the other side? Really don't want to stick those horrid plastic things on the lights if I can help it... Cheers http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160811/19ea738f34...

alltrack differences? advice
I've got a 150 DSG estate which is not an Alltrack (4WD) and really rate it, but what suits one might not another. I've read that the 190 does spin its front wheels more (less the traction control assistance obviously) but reckon it's great for A road and motorway cruising/overtakes. Only today I di...

Re: Album Artwork On Screen
Hi Dom,
I have the station logos but can't get the album artwork to display.
I'm wondering if it's something on my phone?
Can't find a tick box in media settings.
I'm sure you must be able to get it as there is a big blank box on the screen for a picture.

Album Artwork On Screen
Ok all, lets we where we go with this one. When I first setup the Discover Media systems and synced my iPhone etc, I could have sworn that I saw album artwork on the screen showing the cover of the album playing. This also came through for radio channels. My iPhone is accessed through the Bluetooth ...

Re: CarNet Issues?
I went with a 3 one as we go to Wales a lot and it's the only network that works on 3g down where we are. Got a 12 month deal upfront paid for for 12gb. We also use it in the Van in Wales so it will go aftera few holidays but the car seems to use very little. It sits under the arm rest and is charg...

I've had no end of issues with mine dropping connection. The car has been in for an unconnected problem today, and I was told there was a big update that became available last week. Didn't sort the issue and the technician suggested there might be an antenna issue - maybe yours has been disconnecte...

Hi peeps, Just got my GT 150 Estate back following a removable tow bar fitment (VW Westfalia) and the dealer had to enter a set of codes toner activate the ACC. I am now unable to connect to CarNet in the car via my iPhones hotspot; never had a problem before. Tried in London, Basingstoke, Southampt...

And that's where I end up going around in circles..... One says they can and one says they need hardware? Both miles apart from each other. My local dealer has just had the car for near on a week to fit a VW supplied Westafalia removable tow bar. Well actually they fitted the bar pretty quickly, but...
