  1. Nothing to do with his car or knowing how to drive. Plenty of threads on Briskoda about 1.5tsi issues. Well known characteristics of a significant number (but not all) of 1.5tsi engines are severe cold running hesitations, kangarooing and general intermittent and spurious total loss of power. None of which is accepted by VAG as a problem but then they say the same about DQ200 dsg boxes too. To this day, still not known if resolved, or even if VAG made much of effort to resolve the issues. Many theories spouted on here but no answers, solutions or warranty from VAG - its simply a characteristic, live with it, is their answer. In comparison the 1.4tsi suffers none of these issues and is generally praised as being an excellent engine, performance and other wise.
  2. Do a hard reset thus......Press and hold your finger on the on/off symbol for a good 10 seconds. This will shut the unit down completely. Let go and after after a few seconds press it again normally to turn it on. The unit will restart.
  3. Well done! I bet that was a relief. Don't forget to cancel your appointment with National Windscreens.
  4. First check that you have reconnected the radar unit properly...... 3 things you can try before a visit to the stealers. Use an appropriate scanner to reset any errors, could be simply a latched error like classic airbag error that requires resetting via OBD. Drive around a bit, with a few restarts, it may require to see the radar connection is stable before clearing down, a bit like the EML does after a faulty coil pack change. Check the unit is simply not a bit skew whiff, cable pulling it back or mounting springs not pushing it into correct position. You might even try a minor tweak of the adjusting screws (make a record of any adjusments so you can undo yoir attempts) Lastly, remember glass companies such as Autoglass do ADAS recalibration, probably much cheaper than a stealer who might also try to convince you need a new radar unit for several hundred pounds.
