Key Remote Windows
Yeah I wasn't sure if it's a setting or if it has been wiped with vagcom. It may just need coding in...?

Key Remote Windows
Hi, Thanks for your help. I have a 2009 vrs. It doesn't have the maxi dot display. I know the VAG group let's you open and close the windows on the remote. I've tried with the key holding each way and that doesn't work. So wondered was it only a feature related to another option I.e comfort pack. I love the idea of the rain sensor closing the windows tho. How good would that be.....

Key Remote Windows
Hi There, Something that's puzzling me is the electric Windows on my octavia. They don't work on the key remote and wondered if this not available on all octavias or can it be coded out..? Thanks in advance Maz

W or Y's on speed rating
Is there a chance within 12 years there potential that things will have improved and manufacturing has got better? I have bought infinity ecomax tyres they are Y rated and b rated wet grip. I was told rightly or wronlgy that tyre gradings are a volunteered by the manufacturers. My question here would be surely you'd say A A A to sell more....? I will 'tread' with caution but I'm always one to quiz stuff. Cracking I get is a quality issue but grip surely is a trade off over longevity I.e grip is a trade off for depositing rubber on the ground.

W or Y's on speed rating
That's interesting I may just apply and see what they say.. It's interesting that if the letter is an indicator of the speed and the speed is a conglomerate of many other factors. Also if I buy a 150 conti and run over a nail the repair will downgrade it so if you took out tyre insurance covering only a repair are you getting a degraded product..?

W or Y's on speed rating
Now thats what I'm thinking. If my diesel is going 168mph or indeed 186mph then something is wrong. What I'm also confused about is the physics of a rotating wheel whereby the axial speed is doubled at the top of the tyre and 0 at the base. So in theory say 135 top speed x2 is 270mph which neither meet. I know there will be an answer but just often made me wonder...

W or Y's on speed rating
Hi All, I bought a project vrs diesel but I've just noticed its got a slow puncture and the tyres are pretty well worn. So I wanted something cheap and there is an abundance of w rated tyres 168mph rating are these safe enough to use.....? Or do I have to go Y..? After all its not a 200+ car. Thanks for your help in advance

Both Rear windows not working
Hi All, I'm currently wondering what has happened to my rear windows. During COVID I bought a new battery swapped over and left the car. Unfortunately the battery went flat through 0 use. Have charged the battery I started it and all was well until I went to lower the rear windows. I checked and swapped the fuse out and this didn't fix it. The operation seems dead no clicks or sign of any power getting to the windows. Surely both actuators can't have gone at the same time..? Any help. Appreciated..

Aftermarket Head Unit Recommendations
Hi All, I'm not sure if previous threads have covered this but interestingly I've discovered there is an adaptor plate that you like for like swap out leaving the exact space for a vw shaped unit. In fairness there is way more choice and they are cheaper. I think they've been around a while but I'd never paid any attention

170 bhp vrs tdi inlet sensor
Hi All, Little bit strange as I bought a high mileage vrs tdi. It is returning stunning mpg however I bought with the eml on showing P2015 fault. The other day I'm sure coincidence but had to inflate a tyre and then reset the warning. So turned ignition to first switch reset tyre warning. Turned again and fired up. Interestingly the ping nor the light of the eml flashed up. Continued a 30 mile journey and other short trips not flashed up yet. I'm sure it hasn't gone away but I wondered what and where is the sensor that generates the P2015 'irregular' or word similar signal to illuminate the eml light. Its also reported flaps perm open flaps perm closed. I'm now really thinking it's the sensor. Thanks for your help.
