You're using obd11 though, not VCDS

sooner fit a wooden wheel as a spare than use a can o' gunk. There's no guarantee of sealing it and it's a once only affair

@ScoutCJB Yeah I've just hooked mine up and I get 31347. See below I'm sure you've already checked, but are you using the very latest version?

Would have assumed it would have been Amundsen minimum. My centre speaker sometimes feels like it's vibrating, but I'm not sure if that's because I'm listening to something with a fair bit of bass in it

Have you got the variable boot floor? If you have then I suppose having a wheel sticking slightly above in the lower section won't matter because it'll be under the floor. But I've had spacesavers in my last 2 cars and they're easy to have on to be able to limp to garage. Don't get any tyre goo crap. Loads of tyre fitters go spare if it's been used, especially if you want the tyre fixing. And it's not a fix all solution. Get a nick in the sidewall and it's not fixing that. And it's a once only affair.

There might not be a symbol or 'airbag' written on the A pillar, but unless yours was a Friday afternoon car, you will have curtain airbags fitted within the depths of your A pillar. Only thing to do would be to pull a trim piece off and have a look for yourself. IIRC its the rear airbags along with the crew protection which was the optional extra.

With exhausts it depends what your tolerances to noise, vibration and harness are like. It does also matter a lot what your car is for. My old i20 used to have an ASBO system on, which was great for doing the traffic light grand prix and going for a razz with your mates. BUT, it wasn't my daily as I used the van for work at that point in time. Now I'm using the car again for work, I don't think I'd be able to bear having a background drone for miles on end. But that's one of the good things about your slightly more expensive exhaust systems; the button to allow you to have the vast amounts of sound when the situation calls for it and then a press of it again to get things back tame. And yes I have to agree with your comments on comparing a tuned VRS diesel to a standard VRS petrol. At the time of buying my VRS tdi, the 230 was the new kid on the block, but I still remember it to feel quicker than I've ever been able to get my VRS.

Nor does mine, but I know they're there because I had the left trim off when I was routing my dashcam cable and there's a curtain airbag a significant length of it

Now this is your stereotypical case of 'the devil makes work for ideal hands'........ and it appears to have gone sideways. After a while of thinking to do it, I've finally fitted an aftermarket dogbone mount bush; a Powerflex Front Lower Engine Mount Hybrid Bush (Large) PFF85-833BLK to be precise. I chose the black series just to get the 'best' I suppose, but I don't know if that's the root of the problem with it being more track orientated. Unless I've fitted it incorrectly and or bought the wrong one, it's vibrating like a right beepity beep. When you have the car idling, there's a little bit of an additional hum, but I was expecting that. The main issue appears when you go to move away and when the revs are between 1 and 1.5k, there is an almighty vibration which goes through the whole car. I drove the car up my close and the vibrations go away completely when you're over 1.75k. I've had the car back on the ramps to make sure I've not done a schoolboy error and forgotten to tighten it all up, but everything is as tight as it's recommended (I don't want to tighten it any more in case I break something) Now I had to go to work this morning (slightly knobbled car or not) and I was able to check it going through the gears properly, even up the motorway. Once your moving, it's fine. As is accelerating (which actually feels better). But go into the above rev range and it's god awful. I understand the rubber mounts are deliberately designed to get rid of any harshness, but deary me, if this is what a poly bush feels like, I've well and truly made a mistake fitting this. I'm at a bit of a loss because I had to 'chop' the old one out. Help. Advise. Please 😢
