  1. I get that but this is about the 1.5act in particular.
  2. So no recommendations at all on the replacement schedule. How does that work.
  3. Yeah had my 67 plate 1.4 done at 5 years but not sure if it was really necessary although I do have an extended warranty so likely a get out clause should anything have failed during this period. We need to get back to chains.
  4. Sort of defeats the benefits of the engine supposed improvements in economy when in theory you have to fork out over a £1000 every five years for this.
  5. Paid £500 for my cambelt on 1.4SE-L late last year. Cannot believe the 1.5 is so much more expensive. The 1.4 doesn’t include the water pump as that the other end.
  6. As far as I know the LED units are not sealed units like old headlights used to be and will get moisture and condensation in them. There isn’t enough heat from the LEDs to burn off the condensation. It will eventually go. Must admit your is the worst I’ve seen, I get moderate condensation in the lower half occasionally.
  7. Blackcircles gives the right tyre size for my registration, but worth double checking.
  8. Its happening on my 67 plate SE-L. Random freezes, reboots and sometimes the unit fails to turn off when removing the key, this happened only yesterday. The only way to turn if off is a soft reboot (Pressing the on/off button for 10 seconds) then once rebooted manually turn it off. Had the navigation database fail a number of times as well. I had purchased a 32GB VAG SD Card so took the chance to re-format and update the maps, but it hasn't fixed the freezing issue. I'm running the latest firmware as well.
  9. Knees. Sorry couldn't resist. All cars will eventually make strange noises. Could be rubbers wearing on suspension, dry joints a whole host of causes. Any advisories on the previous MOT referring to bushes etc. I'm more irritated by internal rattles and squeaks.
  10. So my later 67 model does not, but you would expect that if it is emission related that the default would be Eco across the board.
  11. Yes the facelift model, twin headlights with LED strip split across both underneath.
  12. Yes the letter before the gear number always reverts back to D but all other settings remain as Individual or Normal depending on settings. Yes same model 1.4 TSI 150bhp DSG, this is my issue so appears to be a feature that cannot be changed.
  13. Odd, mine doesn’t. Have tried individual and although the Amundsen says its individual the driver display returns to D and definitely not in Eco mode. No matter what I try it always returns to D on restart.
  14. Not sure if this is a fault with all models or just mine. 67 Plate SE-L fully updated Amundsen head unit. When I’m Eco mode the Amundsen display and the mode button both show the car is in Eco mode (Button Illuminated and Eco showing top left off Amundsen display) but the driver display shows normal drive mode (D) Car is definitely not in Eco mode and I have to reselect each time I start the car. Is this the same for everyone.
  15. Mine didn’t switch via GPS. Only manual setting which is fine.
