Re: Hard to drive

Mine's an automatic, so I don't know if its the same problem. When I'm stopped my foot will on the brake pedal. When I come to go again, if I lift my foot off the pedal, nothing will happen for a second as the engine seems to switch itself off and have a sleep. If I then transfer my foot too quickly...

Re: Clutch Dragging

[ thanks for your double reply under 'pedals' and 'clutch' ] Yes, I am two months in now, and don't like the degree of concentration that I have to allow to lift my foot off the accelerator into the void , across some distance, and down again to the brake pedal which is very high ( too high to be re...

Re: Black 6R Progression Thread (pic heavy)

I'm not a 'car-person', but it doesn't stop me admiring someone who is keen and very knowledgable, and who doesn't just gloss ove detail. Compliments. I am interested in your foot pedals.

Re: Genuine VW Polo 6C Rear View Camera Emblem Kit SOLD

I want a reversing camera retro-fitted to my 6c ( i.e. installed for me ). My dealer wasn't interested. And carsystems don't appear to offer installation. Which other brand do you recommend ( and compatible with VW ) ? And , yes, can be in bumper, not emblem..
