Re: electric boot of key fob

Carista has an option to stop the beep I think. £11 from Amazon

Re: B8 Passat Estate 190 & 240 Bitdi advice

The 190 is superb. Personally I didn't dare drive the 240 as who wouldn't want more power?

I think they'll be fairly hard to find.

Re: R Line or GT TDI? Ad blue and DSG?

I like the styling of the R line. The 190 is really nice. DSG is brilliant once you're used to it. Ad blue isn't an issue at all. I wait until it says it'll take 10 litres then top it up. My R line has heated seats so worth keeping an eye on what options have been ticked. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 ...

My 17 plate R line has all of the above. I think most of what you want us standard kit though

Re: Retrofit lights

Not cheap. Would be interested to see when working and hear reviews.

Changing running lights is really easy.

I think high beam assist is only with led headlights which you should have.

Re: Led headlight upgrade

It's possible to get the full led headlights but looking about about £3000 if I remember rightly. I did once ask a VW retrofit company. Anyway did my drl this morning. Massive difference. Picture for comparison. I like that they go off with the main beam so I don't need to colour match everything. h...

Re: Led headlight upgrade

I've only seen one possible thread on it so far. One of my drl just died so I've some LEDs coming tomorrow which will hopefully be plug and play.

It's got so many bloody bulbs though if you want to do them all.

Hope you get an answer.

Re: Discover Pro update

That's the wrong download I'd say. You need the other one which is much smaller. I had the exact same issue when I downloaded the wrong one
