Re: use front fogs as DRLS - Light Queries
The B7 Passat's have their DRL lights next to the front fogs, as a separate lamp apparently. However I do believe it can be coded via VCDS

Re: Who uses an in-car DVR ?
I quite like the look of this one, automatically records when you start the ignition & you can wire it in to the alarm to record when the alarm goes off bit pricey being that you need to buy the cameras as well...

Re: Who uses an in-car DVR ?
I'd love one with a DVR under the seat & a few little cameras (like the rear view one above) to position around the car. Does such a thing exist? If not, it should :) ah but, there`s the problem in these horrible modern times- some range rovers have a camera system like that, my mate`s a traffi...

Re: MPG Gauge going down whilst parked
Also if you've only driven a few miles, it will drop a lot faster than if you've done 100, because the average is affected more by the 0 mpg

Re: handbrake
Facing down hill to release it I just drive away normally, or if I just want to roll forward a bit, lift the clutch ever so slightly & just blip the throttle when I want to move & it releases lol

Re: Smashed my phone screen.. Advice please.
As above, takes a bit more time on the 4s than the 3GS as you have to go in through the back, so you have to gut the phone to get the screen out. But as long as you don't mind fiddly jobs it isn't difficult :) Check out the link to see what it takes :) http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Installing+iPhone+4...

Re: Bens B6 Estate
Thanks! I'm happy to get it back in such a good state. Not so glad about the bill!
Although I have a nice new service book for the engine & have to take it back for its 500 mile service (which is a strange thing on a 124k car lol!)

Re: Driving like a past it driver
I wish I could make my auto hold stay on/be on automatically when car started :-(. I have found all the failings above but somehow it has started to get better and I know when to feather when I done want it to hold, and to put a bit more press on to hold it on a gradient when I DON'T want to roll. ...

Re: Bens B6 Estate
Although as for something preventative, I'm not sure what you could really do short of replacing the intake manifold... & have you seen the price of those!?

Re: Bens B6 Estate
124k the garage said they had never seen an intake manifold valve break like that before.
Think I'm gonna get a bare block engine put in, as everything around the engine is good, then I'll have a car with 0 miles on the engine plus some warranty lol!
