  1. This issue definitely is related to the temperature. Like you, I have been free of this rattle for the warm season. Now it's cold again, the rattle is back. Particularly irritating when I play bassy music. Let us all know if you find a solution
  2. I believe people say between 20-40mph on a boxster 1.8, the 130 PD's torque matches it. Given the right circumstances, it's probably true... but then you'll get hammered out of that band.
  3. They aren't the coolest car. I was however a bit annoyed watching it (and shocked) at the level of scorn most members of the audience had for the car. They were praising it when it kicked the mini around the track.
  4. I remember seeing a VW Polo (previous model with bugeye headlights) in a really glossy white, and I was stunned by how beautiful it looked. Keep us up to date on the white furby!
  5. I went there with the best of intentions, and then I forget about said intentions.
  6. Yup this one drives me mad too. Please please post back here when you have any updates mate.
  7. Good: That wonderful "yes, you've been done by a Skoda" torque The overall feel of the car; solidly built with a nice interior Six gears with a wonderful-feeling gear stick Exclusivity - it's not that common around my parts at least Looks - I love the look of my vRS Fuel economy - 60MPG on weekdays. Only dips to 50 on weekends. Hardly uses any oil Bad: Rattles that change every week Stuttering of the engine; though this is common with TDI PD's People will always cling to the "cheap vw" image Default head unit and speakers are lacking for the vRS's powerful image No slide-out cupholder like my Polo had Not enough driver-side storage under steering wheel The paint is rather soft; I agree with others here about this. Default wiper blades are rubbish - but obviously this can be fixed easily
  8. My friend recently boosted his tyre pressures around .3 bar to the recommended pressures and found an extra 5MPG as a reward (130 TDI PD). Just another reason to give those tyres some lovin'
  9. Regarding the AC filter, a friend of mine got tonsillitis twice within a month; the problem was traced to a bacteria-ridden AC filter that the dealers had failed to replace. They can get very filthy and it's important that they are kept clean.
  10. It's a common problem - setting 4 just has the full voltage applied, and 1-3 are retarded by the resistors. As I remember with my VW Polo, VW insisted that the job could not be done by anyone else as they had to be VAG-approved resistors. I cannot quite see how this could be the case though.
  11. New car smell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I thought this was quite interesting.
  12. I think the TSI that's currently in the Golf GT would be a great match.
  13. I wasn't going to say, but I only bought my furby to push it off a cliff.
