*Mod Comment* - This conversation has been split from another thread in the tyre zone - https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/484098-bridgestone-weather-control-a005/ *** Original post Below *** What you asking for will only be relevent to E5 fuel, unless you have diesel, so is now irrelevant as standard petrol is 95 octane E10. And E10 is less efficient so your mpg reduces. https://www.rac.co.uk/drive/advice/emissions/what-is-e10-fuel-and-how-could-it-affect-you/

Got. Evo as they're the latest according to Bridgestone press release https://www.bridgestone.co.uk/story/mobility/bridgestone-launches-weather-control-a005-evo https://tyretradenews.co.uk/news/bridgestone-launches-weather-control-a005-evo/ Also now that standard petrol is E10 this fuel now apparently is less fuel efficient over the old E5 grade. 10% ethanol compared to 5%. 2]Based on the internal tests carried out by Bridgestone vs. WeatherControl A005 in Sweden proving ground. Tyre size 205/55R16 94V. Tractive Force in [5-35 kph] range increased by 3% vs. predecessor. Snow Braking distance in [40-5 kph] range decreased by 3% vs. predecessor. Lateral acceleration increased by 4% vs. predecessor in Snow slalom test at 50kph.

I'm on on my second set of A005 (28k of hard driving) , got EVO type this time and get 45 ish mpg at 70mph , at 80 drops to 40 ish. Car is 60 reg 1.2 tsi remapped to 120bhp which I'm pleased with.

What about Garmin, Currys have this https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/home-and-outdoors/car-accessories/sat-nav/garmin-drive-51lmt-s-uk-5-sat-nav-uk-roi-maps-case-10162506-pdt.html

You mention stress marks on both sides could they be result of torque , is it the wheel with the shortest drive shaft. What is the speed rating of the tyres.

Anyone going to CumbriaVAG this weekend, Sat 10 and Sun 11th. I'll there on Sunday

Just my age group, not. I found to many adverts, more when you change to no ad' s

My CBZA 1.2 tsi (2011) required turbo replaced and wastegate replaced at 76000 in Dec 2018. It also had a remapnot long after I got it in 2016 , and is driven with vigor.

Not me , no FB, Twitter, Instagram or any other social media. Rely on proper Briskoda members.

Not sure if you've seen this Navigon 1.2.5 from 2018 is available https://m.apkpure.com/navigon/com.navigon.navigator_one

Yeah I've notice a lack of interest in Northwest members, Yorkshire aren't to bad.

No problem, perhaps provisionally for late July/ August

Sorry but due to the current Covid Indian variant infection rate in my area, Blackburn with Darwen. And the Government advice to minimise travel I'll not be going to this meet. Those that go hope you have enjoyable time, I was looking forward to this meet., Probable next soon as infections drop to acceptable rate. Take care Regards Ken

Ive fitted Osram nightbreakers back in Nov 2016, and one went three weeks ago and replaced this and the working one for night breaker next gen. And expect at another 4year+ at least. Buy quality for longevity Available on amazon £19.45 pair https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B07FXRDJV7?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

DieselMonte, Thanks, Found and ordered this Regards Ken

Mrgf thanks for the comment, I'll remove it as I've said and put it in the attic. I've since looked on eBay and there are some that look shorter and say they'll fit. I might try one, but in the time will use duck tape to cover the hole left.

Murdockman, Thanks for that, I'm going remove it.

After having the car for 5 years , which I've never been able to use the armrest as it covers the hand brake making it impossible to apply. So I'm wondering if it is the wrong one, it's approx 10 inch long, has anyone got a shorter one , say 5-6 inches?
