Honest opinions on E10 Vs the old E5 petrol.
As above. I've heard that there is some pretty bad press about E10, but I wondered if anyone could offer some real-world opinions on new Vs old. I think I lose MPG on the new blend

Superb Mk3 2.0 TSI 220hp tuning
Yea, the big difference for me post-tune (allegedly 270 & 420nm) is the 3rd & 4th gear pick up. Even pinning it in 3rd is a struggle on anything other than bone dry roads with wheel pointed dead ahead. I wouldn't want any more power & torque than I have even through likes of superchips I believe quote over 300hp 😲 It's simply just wasted on a car without a proper mechanical slip diff

Dull Interior lights and no ambient lights
Same thing happened to me. Did you sort it out? I thought maybe fuses but all seem okay

Interior lights have stopped working
As above. Also my dash lights, Columbus & maxi-dot screen go to their dimmest setting when ignition is on. Anyone got any ideas as to the possible issue. Already checked the fuse

What bulbs are fitted to the S3 & upgraded bulb recommendations
It's not very easy at all. Wheels off, arch liners out just for access. Terrible design in my opinion. The Osram NBL bulbs are incredible things if you can stomach the cost of them. What a difference from the stock items.

D3S LED headlight bulbs in projector light assemblies
Has anyone fitted the above? I know that LED bulbs in reflector headlights are a bad idea as the light scatters everywhere. However I think in theory they'd work well as a xenon bulb replacement in the projector housings. Has anyone got any good/bad experience of this before I spend cash on them

Sportline handling upgrade best value
I'm away to put on all season Pirellis so should be perfect about spring / autumn time for absorption

Sportline handling upgrade best value
I'm thinking of an upgrade to sweeten up the roly-poly handling on my sportline. Would a rear anti roll bar suffice or should I got for some Koni Special Active dampers all round? I'd leave the springs & ride height alone. Thinking best value for money

New E10 unleaded whatcar MPG test
I've just read about a test whatcar conducted with the new E10 petrol Vs the original E5 & effect on MPG in various cars. They found the new fuel to yield typically 10% less. Super unleaded is to remain E5 & so is surely the one to go for if it's less than 13.5p a litre more as you'll get extra octanes & cleaning additives too. It'll be interesting to see if the govt cuts duty on the inferior fuel
