Re: Apple CarPlay issues on GTI+

Has anyone else got issues with their Apple CarPlay on the GTI/GTI+? I plug my phone in and sometimes the whole screen will be black, 10 minutes later and Apple CarPlay appears. Then when I'm driving and go over a bump, my phone disconnects. I've tried two different cables and both ports, same issu...

Re: Ride quality & Road roar?

I use my GTI as a daily driver predominantly doing a 20k / year motorway commute, and find it fine. Inspected the 17s as I felt these may be a little less harsh ride wise but I haven’t seen anyone suggest this is true so if I was specking now would probably go for the Brescia wheels. I did have a Po...

Re: Heater Fan only works when set to 4

Sooooo with a bit of Googling, it seems that this is a relatively common issue on VAG cars with the likely culprit the Blower / Heater motor resistor with the reason it works on the highest speed being that said resistor is effectively bypassed when the fan is set to 4. As the car is 18 Months old, ...

Heater Fan only works when set to 4

Any ideas why this could be happening? Heater fan doesn’t operate at all unless it’s set to max speed ‘4’?

Re: trip on AID

It's your trip mileage.. It's synced with main odometer from new, so if you never reset it, it will count up with the main mileage up to 9999 and then back to 0 every 10K KM/Miles. To use it's intended functionality, scroll down the Driving Data using the up and down arrows on the right hand side of...

Re: 2019 lead times

If it did drop in Southampton today, I don’t know how they’d then get it to Yorkshire. Could be another boat I guess yet to get it up to Grimsby or something. Either way, patience is not something I’m blessed with heavily. It won't have been unloaded at Southampton. All vehicles from Port Elizabeth...

Re: Michelin PS4

Can someone tell me what the rim protection is like on the PS4? It's great on Primacy 3, but not so good on Primacy 4.. Very good - there's a rim overhang of about 8mm. You'd have to seriously clout the tyre to scrape the wheel. Cheers Squire, that's confirmed my decision to move over from the Prim...

Re: Interest rate drop on GTI

Just noticed a very low offer on Carwow for a stock GTI plus that includes a £1000 “dealer contribution”. It might be on its way more generally, just not published yet. We are planning to pay cash for the wife’s car in a couple of weeks, this might change the calculations. From what I've read, it's...

Re: 2019 lead times

Are there any Polo models that don't have long lead times, or that can even be delivered from stock? I'm thinking of replacing my ageing 3-door Fiesta with a new Polo this year, because I now need to carry multiple passengers often. All I really want is an SE 1.0 TSI 95PS Manual. I'm not bothered m...

It is a real shame that the Beats audio upgrade is not available on this model. Anyway, any comments or suggestions around the options or configuration?
