Re: Splash!

Then when I'm in the car reversing with the driver's window open, more drips going close to the window s...

Re: Splash!

Yup.
I get this too.
Sometimes I see it as a challenge to see who wins.
Me getting into the car or the rain landing on my seat and leg.

It can be annoying.

Re: Passat R Line chromed bonnet lip omitted if non-LED

Not only on the R Line,
But on all of them. If you go Halogen then you get no chrome.
If you go LED you do get the chrome.

I am certain a member added the chrome to his one.
I will try find it for you.

Re: Another Bluemotion

Do you toddle around in it for good mpg or do you drive it on? How short are your trips? I have had 4 new VAG based cars over the past 6 years and none of them gave me any issue. I have heard the fans blowing and the smell of heat from under the car at times but this is perfectly normal as it is doi...

Thanks. It is very nice.

Re: B8 cleaned, polished and sealed with Zaino

Well,
How is the Zaino holding up for you?

I went a different route and am extremely happy with my choice.
That is not saying I won't try Zaino next time round.
