The piggy back adaptors arrived yesterday and are soldered onto the 770 wiring, I just need a couple of 2amp blade fuses before I fit the cable in the car, as the adapters came with 20amp fuses, which are way too big for the job. The smallest blade fuses I’ve got atm are 5amp

I’ve a twin (F+R) F770 and Although it can be used in parking mode they are notorious for flattening the battery if used that way, atm I’m using front only with optional F770 cigarette lighter power lead, but as I’m at home on furlough I may as well get it wired up and free the cigarette socket up p...

Bump:
What size fuse adapter(s) did everyone use?
Standard or mini?

I posted yesterday that after phoning my local dealer (JCT600), the phone was answered by a tech working at home. Who told me of the 180 day extension and also they where intent on resuming routine services W/c 25/5/20 which is after the spring bank holiday. So I’ve booked my appointment for the 26t...

However, many owners who consider having a towbar fitted to a GTI/GTI+ won’t be towing - they’ll be using the towbar to mount a cycle carrier on to transport cycles. I would think there are less permanent methods to transport bicycles such as roof bars and tailgate racks that won’t affect the resal...

VW have put a 180 day grace period in place so you won’t invalidate the warranty by exceeding the service schedule.
JCT have given me a date of W/c 25/5/20 (the 25th is B/hol Monday) when normal service appointments are being scheduled

I had Jim at White details www.whitedetails.co.uk do the polishing, ceramic coating, wheels and interior on mine

I managed to contact a service tech (working from home) who was manning the phone my local dealer, he tells me VW have given a 180 day grace period after the service date is due so it doesn’t invalidate the warranty, he informed me that the dealer is starting to schedule routine service appointments...

Towbars for the Gti & Gti+ isn’t a factory option

Find a local paint factors and they will be able to get the paint made up in a touch up bottle with a brush at around £5 per bottle. Take the owners manual with you when you go as it will have the build sticker in it with the paint code on it, the sticker used to be in the boot on previous models. D...

What are the menu options to achieve this as I’ll be head from the uk to Europe this summer and it’ll be handy if I can make the change

I’m finding that the infotainment system occasionally picks up my mobile phone as I get in the car and goes into dial/call mode and locks up trying to call “my mobile” for no reason. The only way to stop it is to power off the phone. Once the connection is broken I can power up the phone and it will...

Strangely It’s taken until yesterday to spot another Gti on the road, I was crossing the Orwell bridge eastbound at Ipswich around 10am when a white Gti came past me

In 90 days of ownership I’ve covered 2k miles , mainly commuting. And I have to say after an initial hesitation it’s grown on me. There are moments where the big kid in me can now put it in sport mode and have a little fun, and it’s these moments that put a wry smile on my face
