Re: Aircon recirculating

That's seems about right, recirculating in the cold so the system is just drying the air in the cabin and not from the outside will clear the windows quicker in colder weather.

I can't really give a real response as my ac packed in soon after I got mine, need a new condenser.

Re: DSG de-press brake light

Unfortunately not, The low brake pad light is sort of universal so it's not that.

DSG de-press brake light

Hi guys Started the car the other morning and noticed that while dashboard does its checks and the lights go out before starting the engine, the brake pedal light starts red then turns green, I have never noticed it red before. Do you think it's to do with the cold weather or is there another problem?

Re: The cam belt for 2.0 tdi

I read that the belt has 180k interval because it's a wet belt?

Is this for real, my b8 is on 99k and no cambelt done in the service book from vdubs

Re: New car with issues

Thanks for the reply, I had the car scanned and it showed the gps antenna was open circuit, I'm going to relocate the gps antenna to the glovebox. As for the current shark fin, I will try to lower the headliner and see what can be done, failing that I will seal it up with a small bead of silicone Wo...
