Engine light came on and the engine didn't want to rev much past 2k. Limped to the hard shoulder and tu...

Adrian Flux Insurance a Big Thanks

Just thought i'd share my experience.

Just insured with them and even with all my mods declared (Not that many tbh) they were still cheaper than anywhere else.

Thanks a lot.

I'm still astonished at the amount i had to pay but that can't be helped.

EPB Noisy?

Hi guys As the titles says all of a sudden they have become very noisy when operated. I'll get out there tomorrow and see which one is the problem. Would this eventually cause my parking brake to stick on, is it an early warning? My car is a 56 plate with 77k on it. Not that many i don't think for i...

Re: EPB failure

Hi guys,

I think one of my motors are on their way out. :sad:

All of a sudden when the parking brake is applied it's very noisy.

I think i may have a go at doing the repair as per the very detailed write up.

Re: Cruise control. How does it work.

On a normal manual vehicle it was maintain the speed on a flat or hill.

However not on a decline. But because you have DSG it will use the gearbox on a decent as well.

Re: Bad smell from air vents

Sometimes it's mold or bacteria built up form condensation.

You can get a product that you set off like a bug bomb in the cabin.

You turn on the A/C and set it to recycle in the vehicle.

Then it should be a lot better.

Re: RNS510 version R

I only have the half mfd.

I'm not bothered about a cd drive as everything is on my iphone.

I've been told the pioneer is quite laggy.

I know the rns would hold its value but analogue radio dies in 4 years so I'm not sure if they would.

Re: RNS510 version R

I am torn as to what to do.

The RNS would cost £530 for an R version
Then a Can Bus upgrade £60
Then a bluetooth module £130

Or the App radio does it all for £300

It's a big price difference..
