I really have no opinion on packages sold locally, as they certainly differ at the hands of the importers... Even I skipped on the heat pump (Norwegian, close to Oslo so its somewhat coastal climate). It is my understanding after speaking to a local VAG quality claims-resource there have been some issues with the HPs in the past, but it seems to have improved quite a lot. But I got the input from a local owner, it really was of no big issue for daily driving, as one just preheats before departure as per quote above. But sure, a SCOP (feed vs output) of heating the car wit heat pump is surely better, by all means. I just wanted to go a bit basic with our spec to replace a Roomster. Then again, I tend to cherish the time with our Skodas, keeping them for too long anyhow... Chinese offerings seems to be quite cheaper, but I chose what I will enjoy over time and ease of ownership. Opted for the new 60 (new more efficient motor, and new LFP battery). We do keep our Octavia 3 though for now, as it has a significantly better boot capacity. The Golf/Octavia/Passat platform has become a rather good one, despite its age. Best of luck with your decision making !

How are you lot finding the standard audio package in these cars ? It was a €5000 upgrade package to get the Canton (as part of it), which in itself seems to not make everyone pleased and seeing its value.

Parting ways with our lovely Roomster and its DSG issues, and awaiting a smokey diamond 60 mid-tier spec car in September as a new daily. Between letting the Roomster go or similar age Octavia 3, it was an easy choice... Sadly Sportline has been removed from the offerings for the 2027 models, so no chance of "alcantara" (unless as vRS). It was around 5000 euro package to get the Canton - which seems debatable how worth they are - so need to consider a subwoofer and DSP amplifier pakcage at around 1100 euro for the smaller, standard audio package... If anyone having some insights, let me know.

Visited the dealership recently. This new platform seems really promising with big gains in the boot! But, the seating comfort of Enyaq into a compact Elroq is most likely better. And, upon opening in configurator here in Norway, I find no tow hook besides "preparations", pushing me in the direction of the Elroq instead.

No, that is absolutely also an option. But I would foresee some ECU requirements in doing so (essentially full engine, gearbox and wiring w/ECUs), so not sure what is the easiest approach here. Any inputs welcome...

Our Roomster 1.2 TSI 105 hp DSG-7 speed gearbox is acting up, badly. I already gave it the service kit of fluids + new pressure container, but to no significant improvement... Thus, I am now also having a Polo 1.2T DSG-7 parked outside, would an easy attempt to make things work be getting that 0AM gearbox over into to Roomster? I have no idea what it would take to separate a DSG box from the engine, and reinstall another in terms of anything no longer compatible with gearbox management etc.

Hi everyone! I have not, and probably will never become, the worlds greatest car audio head there is, but a black week sale led me on the journey to upgrade the OEM speakers. Since I only want to get a little more out of things without going over the top, my plan is to stick to the Amundsen+ (is only 4x14W RMS ?) and just swap speakers. A set of Hertz Dieci 6,5" component speakers found its way home, as I was okay with their price point, they rated well on sensibility (which is smart given the 14W RMS) and had a OK range coverage. Now tweeters are fit into the unmounted A-pillar covers, and I cut off the OEM connectors to reuse with the Hertz. Because the stock tweeters have an integral filter (capasitor), I assume their supply cable is running in parallel with those to the stock mid & low range speakers. Thus it would be no good to reuse for the Hertz, as split cabling is needed. Looking at the door-to-chassis transition, I wonder what would be the better routing as the connector in A-pillar seems to take up most of the available space there. I did note an additional, smaller, grommet below the big one that might be of use. What would you recommend as solution for getting a speaker signal from the doors to the tweeters ?

PLEASE OH PLEASE! Give it the 1200 kg trailer hitch capacity, and the fully flexible rear seat solution from Roomster/Yeti!

I support this. I was having a leak from a poor connection, and when looking underneath HEY PRESTO! looked like the back box had exploded. The one-piece is a **** piece. Was happy to have it replaced by 2 x Bosal items...

So, sorry for asking, but I really struggle finding any info re. the following message in the instruction booklet, local language or English versions. When I kill the ignition, the maxi-dot states a warning about "Check Safe function! Instruction booklet!". Tried reading fault codes, nothing specific there. Any ideas ? (New battery in keyfob tested, no success)

This is interesting. Are we talking model year or production year ? I sincerely fear our belowed 2013 'Family' has been given it's death sentence by a failing DQ200... It differes on day to day basis, but early symptoms is it slams into next gear on semi-load, and jutters somewhat now and then. The other day it totally lost its drive, jut revving and triggering the EPC and check engine light. I fear it is a local cost of approx 2500 GBP, for a car worth 2500-3000 GBP, so I'm a bit bummed out and need a proper estimate on this prior to adding more cost to it in other service parts needed too. 😞

Hiya! In our 2013 'Family' car, it came with an Amundsen non-DAB unit. Lukcikly though, it features the Media-in interface, which then happily is getting a OEM looking solution by using the Dension DAB module and getting a knock-off Media-in USB cable. This was MY preferred choice, as I could keep with the obvious standard Amundsen interface + the Dension is power fed from the USB itself + it was only a matter of getting the DAB+ antenna to the rear side window for stealthy looks. This works by simulating DAB stations as .mp3 files, so radio is incognito as a "music memory stick". But I seldom jump stations, so I'm happy with it!

Oh, I just soldered my repair kit.

Happy to help! We got ours fitted with the removable hook - it never goes off. Then again, the Scout design bumbers are ugly with the cover in place, so...

Hi! our Roomster is up for being USED and is regularly towing my (down rates) 1300kg boggie trailer. Works quite well with the 1.2 105hp/DSG7 combo, except gearbox seems to be jittering now. Towing the weight limit of approx 670kg in the 330kg trailer does work. 600 net kg shouldn't be an issue...
