Temporary disable alarm on mark II
gwm97e replied to simonba's topic in Audio, Electronics and Security
It differs from model to model, it might help if you said what model you had a mk II of ? -
Brighter and Better Headlight Bulbs?

I share your pain, as do many others https://media.rac.co.uk/pressreleases/a-glaring-problem-rac-calls-for-action-on-headlight-glare-as-eight-in-10-drivers-affected-say-problem-is-getting-worse-3296130 Lighting technology has come on leaps and bounds, and its not necesarrily to the good. last night i thought a set of green traffic lights bright enough to impair my vision of everything else -
gwm97e started following Connect lite app and trips data , 1.5 TSI Oil Consumption , Oil topup quantity 1.5l petrol and 2 others

Anybody else having to top up regularly - not frequently, but regularly. The car is (currently 😉 ) dealer serviced and I'm convinced they put in as little as they know they can get away with, I don't think it's gone from one service to another without needing a top up, two or three hundred ml seems to do the job, probably talking just over a litre over 20,000
-
150 hp 1.5 petrol (ACT, so 504 00) on fixed servicing, Oil changed last June. Depending on where I park it outside the house the oil is near the top or the bottom of the hatched area on the dipstick. I've put half a litre in and I'll probably end up putting the other half in when I can check it on the flat,at work tomorrow
-
Any idea what quantity of oil is represented by the difference of the top and bottom markings on the dipstick on a 1.5 l petrol engine ? The 'check oil level' warning came on whilst i was driving last night, and didn't go out when I stopped and restarted the engine, but hasn't come on today. There is oil in the marked area on the dipstick, but there's absolutely nowhere round home that's flat, I'll have to wait until i'm back in the office tomorrow, and i do have a litre of oil available but I don't want to over fill it

They are USB-C connectors in my Scala, and remarkably flimsy, my phone disconnects from android auto far too often for comfort, and the media player seems to revert to the first track on the USB stick if you as much as give the USB stick a stern look......

now i'm back commuting to the office, 20 miles of 50mph limited motorway every day, I've become more aware of the 'distance warning' popping up every now and then. I'm baffled it doesn't seem to have any sort of audible warning, as you'd have to be staring at the dashboard to notice it, and in heavy traffic i'd rather be looking at what's in front of me. Can anybody confirm if it should have an audible warning or not, is there a menu option to turn it on I've not been able to find ?

... Its not 'audio' or any of those things, but i'm posting here as it's not model specific so the app records your journeys, and in the app itself, you can see a visual representation of that journey as a map. does anyone know how that data is held, and if it can be exported (there is an export option, and it exports start and end location, but not, as far as i can see, route information) I've looked on my phone for any obvious locations where the app might be storing its data, and i've looked for files of the type I would expect to find routing data in, .gpx etc, but can't find any. I've been places recently where I've thought 'where the heck have I just been ?'

so in brief., how would you translate 'glaikit wee scunner' ?
-
What Paulski said, I had to do mine a few months ago, I seem to remember the replacement was about £25 and the job didn't take more than 10 or 15 minutes
-
thanks, i'd never have found it

I want to check the pollen filter, as there is much more condensation when starting the car than i would expect, can anybody confirm where it is, is it the same configuration as a Rapid. I had a quick youtube search and couldn't find anything for the Scala. found a couple of spectacularly bad Fabia ones - here's scene of a car interior with an arrow pointing to the glovebox, then a real closeup of a filter being removed with no idea of how to get from one to the other
