Re: :-o Car slammed on and engaged ABS all on it's own :-o
Happened to me once. though it was just as well as I was distracted when it did happen and yes, A car did brake in front of me. One other thing I was wondering about ACC. When this activates to keep distance between me and car in front on motorway or wherever. Do the brake lights activate to warn dr...

buy the golf 7 camera also OK. depends on your budget. If you do not need 360' air view, save the money :esm No module is required. Just coding the headunit after hardware installation. Tou mean this > http://www.ebay.de/itm/281194395014?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&fromMakeTrack=true Just cur...

Re: Da polishers
+1 for the Hex Logic pads.
Alternative to scholl above would be megs 105 and 205.
I used to use Menz polishes but found them to be extremely dusty.
I changed tot he Wolfs polishes and really found them great to work with.
No dust and long work time.

Re: Which tyre dressing ?
Bit late probably.
Megs gives too much sling off and ruins the paint and sticks to the rims.
I have tried lots and lots of different ones but keep coming back o Wolfs Blackout.

Re: Leather or leather/alcantara?
I went for leather as it is much easier to maintain. Also on mine the heated fronts came as part of a pack. Not sure if it was because it is a highline or BE. or simply because I added leather with the sports pack. Confirm with your dealer. But I did have heated leather in my past cars and it took w...

Re: Acoustic glass.
I was going to add that to my B8 but changed my mind. I find the car is quiet enough as it is. Much quieter than my last cars ( Octavia vRS x3 of them ) I can not remember where I read this but somewhere along the line I did read it can affect the phone signal and if adding it you would also need to...

Re: My B8 Passat
Still getting used to seeing them, front and sides starting to look good but the rear of the saloon and estate looks fail tbh. Like the designer finished off the last quarter in a hurry on Friday afternoon. I dont normally like white cars but its looking ok there, I especially like the idea of the ...

Re: Pre Delivery inspection?
apparently the B8 is fine as far as recall goes. It is Euro 6 so no dodgy coding in it.

Funny one here.

Re: Anyone fit a dash cam?
Glad you got sorted in the end.
When you say right hand clip I assume you mean the one closer to the centre of the car?
This I also found to be a ba$tard to press.

Re: Anyone fit a dash cam?
Hi. First off I dropped the glove box door. You will see in your manual how to access fuses. There are 2 clips up in the clove box that you have to press very hard to release the door and it will drop down. I found these clips extremely hard to press back but got there in the end. I then fed the pow...
