  1. I think you mean drawer not ‘draw’. Quote- Never criticise a fool, he’ll hate you forever. Criticise a wise man and he’ll appreciate you.
  2. Vw1961 - Potrebbe essere utile utilizzare uno strumento di traduzione italiano-inglese, potresti ottenere una risposta migliore. In bocca al lupo.
  3. I was actually trying to be constructive, if you look at his posts you may understand what I mean. I'll get my coat and not darken your days anymore.
  4. VW1961, what is your own language, French?
  5. Sorry mate, missed that, now booked appointment at Specsavers.
  6. If there is CCTV covering the area that the car was parked in, make a FOI Subject Access Request, whoever operates the CCTV is then legally obliged to provide any data (footage in this case) that relates to you (i.e. your car) and hopefully will have the Reg No of offending vehicle. Good luck.
  7. I'd phone a few dealers and get quotes for two separate services, although VW (sometimes) illegally try and price fix, my experience is that some dealers don't comply and use their own prices.

  9. No problems with mine. Does the software vary between year models or DSG/Man? Might be worth getting in touch with DTUK and asking them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  10. If you browse the site mate, there are various threads regarding what are must have options, but as the car is so well specced as standard you don't need to tick many option boxes.
  11. The standard tips are the oval shape same as the chrome tips that fit over them, so you may struggle to get any aftermarket ones that are the same same shape. If you really wanted to go to town on them it would probably have to be a cut and weld job to fit circular tubing, then there are plenty of aftermarket tips that will fit. If you look on Ebay there sometimes is a full system with chrome tips removed.

    Too late now mate but if a road has street lights that are not more than 200 yards apart speed limit is always 30mph unless signs indicate otherwise. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  13. Yes I know for certain on 2014 models the up/down adjustment allen screw is at the bottom although not sure if this applies to later year models. Good luck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

  15. As Taz says, try taking pedalbox off as it's a simple job.
  16. I've had a few new cars including VWs and never heard of such a check. Dealers and manufacturers want to give as little away as possible BUT I stand to be proven wrong?

    must have been a helluva speeding offence alone to get banned.
  18. Laths that used to be the case with mine, wifes Polo had far better lights, once I physically adjusted them, dipped beam was so good I hardly needed high beam and never got flashed by oncoming drivers who I would have dazzled if beam was too high.
  19. Not sure if same applies to MK7.5 R, but some months ago on here there was a debate regarding headlight beam being too low. It was agreed that VW sourced headlights from 2 suppliers and one was noticeably better than the other. On my first 2014 R I took mine to dealer who told me that aim could only be altered via VCDS, it then later came to light that manual adjustment is possible, I followed the below thread and manually adjusted mine and it made a world of difference. http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=276375.msg2525727#msg2525727
  20. Don't need to brake mid curve because I enter curves at appropriate speed, look at the 'arrowhead'.
  21. Not that I'm aware of, there has been the odd one at Manchester, but suppose this may change as Rs are a lot more common now.
  22. Firstly Greg I note you haven't taken up my offer of home swap?😀 Secondly to some degree I think it depends on driving style and what training a driver has had. I very rarely brake late/hard and certainly never brake when not in a straight line.
