Re: paint touch up kits

thanks guys .. did you have to treat or sand the area at all, or just apply straight on it?

I got myself a touch up kit from my local VW dealer, it was reasonably priced and came with a pot of colour and pot of clear top coat too, was less than £20 HTH 👍🏻
easy to use and a decent finish?

Re: RNS-315

it does have DAB and that's how you would find it, but they can still be activated/deactivated by VCDS the below link is a guide on how to enable bluetooth via vcds, but if you look at the 4th screenshot, you can see the option for dab under bit 4 https://www.remkoweijnen.nl/blog/2011/08/26/rns-315-...

Re: RNS-315

Ok I've fitted it today .. it all works including the NAV, apart from I can't find how to access DAB radio only am/fm

It's definitely a DAB unit as it has the black connector on the back which I've plugged into .. I'm guessing it may be a case of someone with VCDS having to enable DAB on the unit?

Re: RNS-315

The unit will need coding so the other modules on the car accept it (a bit like entering a key code on an old headunit). It will also need coding to add items such as visual park distance control, reverse camera etc. The car it has come from may have had these installed and if yours doesn't, it wil...

upgrade my RCD310

so in an ideal world I'd get something super nice like an rns510 or a discover media, but they're out of budget! so that makes me think rns315? or rns310? is there any difference between these? or are there any good aftermarket ones? such as the below two links https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/8-GPS-Sat-N...

Re: rear offside ABS sensor

I'd be happy with either of those brands maybe worth the extra couple quid for the bosch one. Check the end of the sensor for damage from the magnetic ring before fitting a new one too, have seen a few swell up and rub the end of the sensor away will do .. any idea to the part number for the magnet...
