I've lived with mine for 3.5 years now and get anything from 11.6 km/l to 13.8 km/l in mixed driving in Christchurch, NZ. Apologies, you'll have to do the conversion to Imperial units on your own. It is quite frugal but has the grunt when you need it. Hope the above helps in your decision.

Found the problem! The window regulator motor had been replaced by the previous owner, along with the door control module, with a different version that didn't have the wiring output for the door handle lighting, gotta replace it with the original one

It might just be one of those things. After driving the Ibiza around for a week (one breath on the pedal and you fly through the windscreen), I almost pulled out on someone in the BMW as I midsjuged the brakes! Bear in mind too, that the response is no indication of stopping power. The Ibiza has something like 276mm discs and titchy calipers, while the BMW has 360mm discs with 4-pot calipers.

I'm 95% sure the front doors are the same. If you look up the part numbers, are they different?

For coding, remember you'll need to add the cornering light function too.

Not interested, but just wanted to say what a well-written advert this is! Best of luck with the sale.

Yes the P33400P update fixed the repeated infotainment unit updates.

Hi @pab567 Could you possibly send me "mst2_eu_sk_zr_p0253t" for my headunit please? Do you have some kind of PayPal / Buy me a coffee donation set up? Thanks! Jim

PROBLEM SOLVED! Just replaced the main T-stat with an oem MHALE wich is the producer for VAG. The one i replaced first was a Myle brand. I think what happened is i got a bad myle t-stat that worked for a while but the dsg stat was bad. I then replaced the dsg stat but by the time i did that the myle t stat had failed. Then. Just buy Oem parts. It will save you so much trouble. Hope this helps somone.

The Ice Scraper has moved to the lower lefthand edge of the boot lid (when open). It won't fit in the EV "filler flap" anymore, since the fitting of the big rubber socket seal on the flap door.

With the Donald inflated fuel prices, I think a car with the economy of the Greenline is the perfect spec. And even if diesel were £1.40 a litre, there's still a lot to be said for stopping for fuel every 700 to 800 miles.

But there are 3 pins on the LED lights and only 2 on the halogen. Unless i connect the LED just as straight forward on/off fogs. Is that possible?

You hv a NAV button so you have an Amundsen MIB1 map updates stopped 5 years after the MIB1 ws last used in production, which was early 2015 - so the 2020/2021 update is the most recent available for MIB1.

No problem. I'm pretty confident you'll see a red light. If you haven't already thrown away the original oil pressure switch you took out, keep it as a spare in case the (presumably aftermarket) replacement fails prematurely.

its a big job but can be done on the drive at home i did mine over an easter weekend. front in the air on axel stands the hardest bit was getting the gearbox back in i had a helper for this part of the job. i have done many clutches in the past the clutch i used was an ebay solid flywheel kit one.

VIN now provided and the ETKA page entitled "Radiator louvre" is greyed out for this car, indicating non-fitment of those items.

ok, will do, thank you, will try early this week.

You'd think, but trust me and try what I suggest.

Ok, I'll try (not tonight, now it's dark) but I thought at idle it would need to alert if the oil pressure somehow fell to nothing. The engine would be damaged at idle. Also, I thought it should show at a cold startup, just to show the light is working, like the other lights do.

Make your own adapter. Buy the connector, pins, wires, and automotive-grade electrical tape, and you’re all set to go.

Thank you. Hopefully, we should be set for a few years!

Thanks! great info!

Shouldn't it have SK in the name not VW?

No, it's needs to be driven, or at least revved in neutral at more than 1500rpm. Not sure if bonnet shut and actual vehicle motion required, let us know, please. Below 1500rpm the switch state isn't monitored.

No, I shall do if that's what it takes, but I'd assumed that with the connector unplugged the light would be red?
