'Tubs is much better going from Hawes north, in my opinion. Any sunny summers day you'll have to share it with a replica Tour de France unfortunately. As VRT says, the road from hawes down to ribblehead is also a great road. Bellerby Ranges out the top of There's loads of variations of route that's good depending on what type of road you want to go on where you're starting out and where you want to end up, but an easy starter if buttertubs is a must is: Ripon - Masham - Leyburn - Hawes following the A6108 to leyburn then onto the A684. In hawes turn right before the road splits into the one way through the town centre, up and over tubs to Thwaite. Turn left at the end and follow along until just after Keld where there should be a couple of hairpins up a steep climb. Follow that all the way along and you'll come out at Tan Hill, englands highest pub. From the pub you can drop down into Reeth and loop back to leyburn, go along to hawes and down ribblehead back to the A65/A59 or you can drop into Richmond to access the A1(M). If you want more detailed routing, I'm happy to throw you some maps depending on what you want. I'm reasonably local 😁

Yes but just traction control, it still runs stability in the reduced function Need VCDS to deactivate the SC fully

You're not far off, just the TC is only on or off, no reduced function. All to remember on the skoda is ASR = TC and ESC = SC It's been a while but as I remember Default - TC & SC on 1 press - TC off, SC on Hold - TC off, SC 'Sport/Reduced' Long code 06 Default - no change 1 press (it seems to change to a very firm, slightly elongated press from a quick flick of the button though?) - TC off, SC reduced Hold - TC & SC off

I rarely switch my ESC to 'OFF', but it's nice to be able to when I feel the need.

As @e-Roottoot says that is just traction control, not stability control i'm afraid!

Definitely worth getting an alignment with a printout, maybe hunt about for a specialist/tuner if the well known franchise isn't cutting the mustard (even if you just do toe as it's normally cheaper at £25-30) then you can see what you're dealing with. If you post it up in here i'm sure someone can reference the OEM spec for camber etc.

Was it ESC Sport or ESC off? Sport relies more on the steering input, so if you're smooth it'll move around more. If you're aggressive it tends to think you're having an accident

Normally lowering affects the toe as well as the camber. Your bald inner shoulder is probably more a result of the tyres constantly scrubbing with excessive toe than the camber. Easiest solution is to get a hunters alignment or similar which measures toe, camber and caster on both axles to give you a full picture of which direction the wheels are pointing

Are you manually inserting a space between the two sections of the postcode? I.e. NE2 3WD not NE23WD

I think it's 6 on my Amundsen. I have three pages of presets though, just swipe the screen left and it brings up the second and third page.

You'll need VCDS or similar to adjust the coding within the ABS module of the car. I did it as per this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lUtH012kec as the controller is the same. But you must check for your car, before adjusting anything! :)

£30k is value when the sporty passat starts at something like £43k!

I'm hoping it's on it's way in the next model SEAT have only recently gained 4WD in the leon ST to rival the golf R after many high power FWD Cupras. And looking across to the Octavias brother, the R-Edition Passat is boasting a 280bhp TSi with 4motion or 240bhp TDi

RSR? Or is that a bit porsche-y 😂

Certainly a little off-putting...but you're right, everyone hates change. It'll grow on them!

I think i would personally prefer to use Alu. Bit easier to work with as well. Could be a shout to find out what plastic the engine covers etc are and their respective melting points?

A little bit. I have a terrible head cold so i was wondering if i'm actually just not understanding. Clearly it's not me 😂

Agreed. As said it's not a stipulation, but will be the optimum/most efficient solution. Hence that's what is stated in the handbook. I just happen to live near the A1...so it's no bother

I would assume that doing it by the handbook is the most efficient way, but not the only way. Mine will clear doing it 'by the book' on the motorway within a few miles on a 91k old manual. Normally left at 2000rpm in 5th on CC as it's around the motorway speed limit anyway. For reference, handbook is to run at 1750-2500rpm in 4th or 5th gear until the light goes out Not saying your way is at all wrong though Rootteetemoot, whatever works for you😁

I use mine for very short journeys during the week and long on a weekend. Occasionally circumstances mean it'll go for 3-4 weeks without even hitting water temp the trips are so short (not great for a TDi i know). And only after 3 weeks or so of very short journeys and interrupting regens will it ping the DPF light. When it comes on, i take an extended journey of about 10-15mins on the motorway down to the local shell garage as it's close by, to clear the light and top it up with dino juice so it's not a pointless trip! As said above, it'll automatically regen, unless you keep interrupting it (characterized by the engine fans staying on) but i think you'll be fine.

On which engine is it?

Cars are a ludicrous mark up - I work for an interior acoustics (carpets etc) manufacturer that supply parts for a well known Japanese SUV. We sell them something like a wheel arch liner for literally pence per unit....bet they're nothing short of £20-30 a piece from the main stealer for service parts!

That takes care of that then! :)

I've used an Autohome wedge style one for a week before....not at all cheap as you say but bluddy brilliant for touring! Especially if the ground isn't always suitable for pitching a tent.

To add to the above post, you can view the ash loading of the dreaded DPF vs it's maximum loading value using VCDS. It will give you an idea of how full it is. Appreciate it's not straight forward when it's not your car, but an avenue to put your mind at ease.
