  1. Like the citreon suspension of old , brilliant ride. I had a crappy old xsara, best ride ever , that's why rolls Royce used it
  2. I had it go missing on my mondeo, it's only a spring and I suppose it can fatigue and pop off. Brakes will work just as well without , they'll just make a noise
  3. Reboot phone, delete old phones , lock car and leave it for 10 mins. Then retry. Disconnect battery for 30 secs
  4. Dab is rubbish out of cities. I go to west wales a lot and as soon as i go past swansea I switch to FM /spotify or i keep getting disconcerting gaps of silence
  5. Get a pair of spoons out of the kitchen drawer ;-)
  6. My neighbour has a bmw 3 estate. It's titchy , his kid was there as I opened the tailgate of the skoda and said whoaaa, look how much room you have lol
  7. "Poverty spec " lol. I've got one and with the 205 tyres , great comfy and quiet ride , and a lot better on fuel
  8. Yes you're right , another 10 cm would be great. That's why I fund my mondeo better for boxy loads due to its extra width
  9. It's not a fix . they've just had to stop cheating. A rich company like vag has a lot of influence
  10. I wouldn't worry it'll probably be stolen long before battery gets flat ;-)
  11. Steer clear of the Vitos,they appear to have a rust problem , vw are overpriced and not as reliable as the propaganda would have you believe the vivaro is by far the largest with the biggest seats but a bit van'ish to drive
  12. They won't know there's a remap unless ofc you're daft enough to tell them. What do you do if as I suspect happens the car's performance is affected ?
  13. On March 15, 2013, China Central Television aired a program for the World Consumer Rights Day. The program criticized the issue associated with DSG-equipped vehicles manufactured by Volkswagen. On March 17, 2013 Volkswagen Group China announced on its official Weibo that it will voluntarily recall vehicles equipped with DSG boxes.[37] Some sources have estimated the failure rate of DSG-equipped vehicles sold in China to be greater than 20,000 per million sold.[citation needed]
  14. I'm not having mine done, mine don't need mot's yet for another year
  15. I've taken one of the seats out from the middle row in my I800 so you can move around the vehicle without opening the doors and that still leaves 7 full size adult bloke seats and a handy space to put stuff when you open the N/S sliding door
  16. I've got a hyundai i800 minibus /mpv , 170 hp diesel engine, doesn't rust like the merc vitos and 15k cheaper than the equivalent VW with a 102 hp engine. Has a 5 year unlimited mileage guarantee ,twin zone a/c with separate controls in the back heated drivers seat, reversing sensors & has a top speed of 115 mph ( on a private track you understand of course occifer ) and gives the sporty VW vans a fright ;-). It has 8 reclining seats , even when all filled with people it still has large luggage area, unlike the mpvs like chrysler , galaxy etc , it's either people or luggage. I've had it from new and it's coming up to 4 years old
  17. Could be the tensioner itself, you'll have to take belt off and spin each pulley to check. Or better still take it to garage
  18. There can't be many windscreen factories, car manufacturers don't make their screens, they just buy them in like a lot of parts and stamp VAG or ford on them
  19. Demo cars are always thrashed to within an inch of their life , keep well away
  20. The parts place just ask for your registration and will be able to supply the exact parts for the vehicle
