So I have a date for delivery - 8th June.. a day after I fly back from my holiday. Happy Dayssss!! 🤩🤩🤩

Update, the AliExpress door sill protectors look great! It's a mirrored black finish, doors front and rear open and close without any issue. Not scratches or blemishes just reflections on the right area.

So after an X5, RS4 Avant, 430D Msport, and a Q5 and with the kids now a little bit bigger too! I’m back behind the wheel of 7.5R DSG and I’ve got to say it feels good [emoji1305] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's ironic that this new OTA software update designed to fix the bugs and gremlins in fact causes a bloody big gremlin in itself! Typical. 🙄

Who's Coming TheBlondeFella Stobsie greenandblue fastgolf roberth+1 MCC Maybe Going lustral + 1 Ashleyman Looks like the some of old crew is finally getting back together. The more the merrier Only 3 of us on the progressive drive to The Chalet so far, the rest will be meeting us there for around 09:30 The weather looks like its gone be warm too 😎

Are you sure the R-Line has indicators on the inside lamps? Got a feeling the only have them on the outside

You would be correct......speaking from experience on the A74M at Ecclefechan 🤬

I’m in boys - omelette chips and beans - bring it - I’ll be in a TRoc apologies in advance 😬

Without knowing what they have done I would not know.

Hopefully just my problem,cup holder button not working so told the dealer before it’s service yesterday,he informed me it’s a common problem with Tiguans and it’s getting fixed under warranty,this involves a whole new centre console allegedly 😳

Yeah maybe. I have a 5 litre W6 fallout from Gtechniq that I was using on my Golf R. I guess I only changed to BH Because of the great reviews it was getting, I will try going back. Thanks, I find car detailing very relaxing. Before I know it I have been out for 4 hours and the Mr's is shouting at me to do some proper house work haha.

I agree but in all honesty, the mk8 plastics do not fit that description. Don’t get me wrong, I actually like the simplicity and minimalistic design but the plastics are by no means premium.

I preferred Apr 2021, should be built next week. Hopefully I’ll get what I ordered and not a MY23. Some rumors about +10 HP (like 7.5 vs 7) not more. I fear it may come with additional downgrades (lights etc). I don’t hate piano black parts, but only vertical, not horizontal. I actually think “scratchy” rugged matte plastic that is made thick and of good quality, would feel much more premium than glossy painted-over thin plastic, which I’d bet is the case.

mine 7.5r is otherwise standard but I got the tvs tune today. it keeps the car in 7th when cruising on the mway which is great, it no longer dives into 6th at every opportunity. Ditto pulling onto the mway from a service station. it allows the car to use more of its torque. I hadn't expected to find the changes actually smoother but they are. no doubt they're faster too but it's not immediately obvious imo. Good mod I'm pleased with it. Now to try my local roundabouts where it'd normally enter them still in 7th. I'm hoping I no longer have to compensate by manually changing down and then back up again later.

Add these to the ( long ) list as well

see this is where man maths works … you’ll want to keep some tread on the 18” tyres , so when you sell the car down the line you can put the standard wheels back on with some tread left boom order your new wheels up ! Haha

This is mine with 19” 8.5 et 42 front and 37 rear on eibach springs

Definitely need to lower,it will look like a tractor if you don’t.Here are some pics of my previous car with Revo RVO 19,s on,top pic on standard springs and second pic on KW V1 coilovers lowered around 25mm.

Hey Simon, no it’s not a must but it is recommended for smoother shifts. I know a few people who have done it at stage 2 though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

yes no belt just chain. I fell victim of the failing tensioners on my last car, luckily it only slipped a little so no serious serious damage but it still cost me £700 with a V-CON, it was just out of warranty but had full VW service, MOT's & was on a service plan, I think their bit was about £1500.

I sometimes wonder what those "SHOP" updates are actually doing. Its the most underwhelming "shop" on the planet!

Found this online. Don't know how old it is https://www.vw.com/en/software-update.html

Really appreciate the info, thanks. Will try the recommendations and report back. Connie is always helping me wash the cars. She's the best. Craig

And I get this update alert just now. Looks like it’s part 2, which gets me up to the full 1896.

To follow up on the above, I downloaded the full update to the car lastnight and then followed the instructions to let it install. The install took about 30 mins, the instructions just said to exit the car and do not use it for the next 30 mins or so. Half hour later I went out to check and all was done. I’m now on software version “A896”. After a bit of Googling, I found out that yes indeed, VW are now doing full OTA updates that you previously had to go into the dealers for. And that I’ll get another slightly smaller update pushed to me at some point which will give me the full “1896”… so I’ll go from A896 to 1896.

some sweet rides there.

On way home from work this morn and nipped Tesco.Thought it looked glossy when I came out so took a pic.

Little de chroming done to the wagon. loving it.

Hello. This is my first post in the forum. My hardware is H58 and the software is 1980. I’ve received lately several OTA updates and I think that the last one broke something inside as now the unit resets instantly after 1 minute and at the 4th reboot it remains off and then I get warnings about lot of features not being available. Am I the only one with this problem? I already took it to the workshop and they cannot update it as they need more time than that minute to do the process. Am I the only one experiencing this? Thanks
