  1. Wouldn't increasing the sidewall mean the speedometer would read incorrectly? An indicated speed of 60kph would be a real speed of 62.5kph
  2. Good grief, you get through an awful lot of batteries. I've still got my original one after 6 years.
  3. It's a pretty graphic but it's so inconsistent that it's totally useless.
  4. At least he hasn't got a collection of cassette tapes......
  5. Err why would you switch off the seat belt warning?
  6. I had problems with my radio which was tracked down to the switch on the steering wheel.
  7. Reading through the file I attached it seems pretty comprehensive.
  8. It does cover the DSG. They won't cover frictional material but that is standard as you can burn out a clutch. This is normally not possible on a DSG, although with the dry box I would be careful reversing up a slope. 35239_skoda_extended-warranty_dec19_nav_v1 (1).pdf
  9. Just paid for my second year's extended warranty for my 1.4 It came in at £162.70 which was lower than the first year! I reckon that's really good value for peace of mind.
  10. Yes, I have it set on furthest. If the traffic starts to bunch and stop it still will close in too much before braking in my opinion. The other problem is when a car pulls out of your lane it then takes an age to decide that it's clear and accelerate.
  11. I find that my car leaves it too late to slow behind a slower car. It arrives at speed then plus the brakes on. I find my pulse quickening as we close on the car on front! Also going downhill I can hear the brakes being applied when I would have backed off the throttle about a quarter of a mile back. It's a very clever system but it can't anticipate the traffic like we can.
  12. I have the 148hp 1.4 and the engine is very good. Everyone who travels in it can't believe it's only 1.4. It is extremely economical and for me the power is enough to keep up a good average speed.
  13. You've hit the mail on the head. Ignore the green score it's so random as to be useless.
  14. I found some snatches across my bonnet once. I was parked near a bowling green and I reckon it was done by the bowlers lifting their bags when they squeezed between the parked cars. I made sure I didn't park there again!
  15. You could always wrap it with clear film https://www.amazon.co.uk/Scotchgard-Clear-Protection-48-inches-Defender/dp/B004VG88MQ/ref=asc_df_B004VG88MQ/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=430753776182&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=435274981808531115&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1006565&hvtargid=pla-815241540219&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=103698421881&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=430753776182&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=435274981808531115&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1006565&hvtargid=pla-815241540219 Virtually invisible when it's on.
  16. ACC does not have to be activated. My car slammed on the brakes when a plastic bag blew over the grill, so I know mine works. If there was a problem with it I'm sure that you would get an error message.
  17. Sorry I have the old model, didn't realise they changed it.
  18. Would the Bilsteins so the car crashing through potholes? When this happens to me I wince because it sounds like something could get broken.
  19. No, you need the camera in the windscreen too enable those options. The stock SEL doesn't have that as standard
  20. I found that the adapter didn't work on my car. Used a USB stick in the centre console.
  21. I've got a pedal box from Racechip. Went wrong after a year but it was replaced at no cost to me with the latest version. Worth checking them out as it works very well
  22. The mirror has a light sensitive film over the glass so your best course of action is buy another mirror. Unless of course you can scrape the film off.
  23. £200 is a bit of a rip off when they charge £100 for the full size spare.
  24. When my DSG shifter was replaced for the switch failing I paid 50% of the labour only and the part is covered for two years.
