  1. Its also illegal unless you have fitted headlamp washers
  2. You let your car unlocked while you went to pay for fuel? Lucky it was only an ice scraper you lost. Hopefully you learned something there.
  3. If it is icy enough to freeze a press to open plastic flap then you can be sure the doors will be frozen closed. Leave it where it is and prevent door pocket rattles. Vaseline on the door seals if they freeze, scraper in the plastic fuel flap where there is a slot for it.
  4. I had the mfsw button replaced, same fault, no need for (or any rational expectation for) a replacement steering wheel. I love that my car gets washed each time, my dealer staff never do it by hand, always by jet wash, so the 'detailing' would surely suffer the same fate driving into heavy rain at 70mph? On the wheel issue I am intrigued that you have had yours refurbished as I can't find anywhere to do that - can you let us have the details and costs?
  5. Tried switching passenger heated seat on, level 3, didn't get warm until passenger sat on it.
  6. I have the winter pack and thus heated seats, bu the passenger seat appears to remain cold when switched on until someone sits on it. Other marques with heated seats do the same, so I assumed this is the case - of course it may just not feel warm unless sitting on it - but I think it is sensitive to weight just as the seat belt sign is
  7. I thought the heated seats wouldn't work unless you sit on them (or enough weight is on them)...........like the seat belt warning?
  8. VW group have suffered drop in sales due to the emission scandal which is why I think the latest finance incentives are on, I doubt they will take them away soon
  9. Is the phone on low charge when you get the 'crash'? If so that is the problem - the system can't cope with the power drain to run the phone and itself. Charge from the power socket until in the green sector.
  10. Lights on auto and mie does this every time, vRS October 13
  11. I have had the screen fail to respond to touch and steering wheel controls didn't work at the same time. Irregular though. On the 'crashing when phone plugged in' problem, I have had this from new and appears to be when the phone is low on charge and I assume drawing too much from the USB, which does charge the phone but is not there for that purpose.
  12. I assume you mean tyres, crass use of 'boots' ignored. Mine came with Bridgestones, very quickly wore (under 14k), replaced with Dunlop which have so far lasted 17k and still wear to go. Last vRS needed front set at 21, rears went at 22k due to sawtooth ihg, just as fir last vRS, plenty of tread left both times but the racket became unbearable
  13. Yes, very easy to change and I'm sure it's a 2025, but pop the fob open (instructions in manual) to check. Buy a decent replacement like Duracell.
  14. Really? Have you ever travelled onto the Moors, or up the A19 and looked down on Teesside, the air is very much not fine!
