Ah, no lease car from Stockport and I'm in Hertfordshire

I applied ACF-50 myself to my other car using two pairs of axle stands;

Oddly, I can't sorry. The car was loaned when it was a week old to be scanned for use in Gran Turismo - the photos were taken during the process.

I see from Andrew Chapple's Volkswizard IG that paddles are available to order for £100 + VAT each. Waiting to see if he posts the part number. I do doubt that I will order these. The CS paddles although small are better than those in the Mk7. https://www.instagram.com/p/CN4nkEeniX_/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Base spec car, it was about £18/month to add a colour choice. I like the white, very George Lucas THX1138/Stormtrooper. The 7.5 R was Lapiz but that only added about £5 to the deal back then.
-
Its 3+23 on 8k at £388/month. Works out just over £5k a year. My 7.5R had been £335 on 9+23.

Thanks. I've done that, will see how I get on. All I want to do is zero the trip as I drive away after a refill, I'm not looking to Ctrl-Alt-Del the car 🤔 Think I may as well forget about it; rely on the "miles to empty" and the Fuelly app to track economy/use.
-
Thanks, I had a 7.5 - but this is a Mk8 and there is no button
-
I've tried to use logic. I've tried to RTFM. I've looked on the internet. And I can't for the life of me see how to reset the trip odometer! Anyone more clued up?

I realise this does not strictly qualify, but after a 7R and a 7.5R I decided to replace with a GTI Clubsport....which arrived today. So if it doesn't qualify please delete. I am very pleased with it. Poverty-spec lease car, no options. It like it a lot. Chassis is definitely better than the Mk7, must be the front track. It turns in well.

Thank you. I guess the main obstacle will be gaining access to a VW Dealer parts department at the moment! As its a lease car, it's just base spec (I like the white as it happens) the only disappointment yet again is the clumsy style of the 18" wheels. I'll be sure to post up about it.

Coming to the end of lease of my second 7R, a Lapiz 7.5 which has been great. I've decided to give the GTI Clubsport a go this time, it arrives in March. On my R's, I fitted the aftermarket S2T B2 paddles which are a quality product. I see the Mk8 R comes with larger paddles as standard. The GTI Clubsport has better paddles than the tiny buttons on the Mk7, but not the full size of the R paddles. Does anyone know in the spirit of OEM+ whether the R paddles will be a straight swap? I'd be surprised if they weren't.

Which iPod? Which ones work with the infotainment system.

In case you didn't know, the SD card slot is in the glove box, and you then select the source in "media" to browse the folders and play -

Yes Matt Any USB card reader with SD capability should do the job. You can buy bigger capacity SD cards than 32GB - depends what you need. Sandisk are a good brand.
