  1. I tried this today - no deal, at least on mine. Set the Cruise Control mode to Speed Limiter, set the speed, accelerate normally to reach the set speed, then put pedal to the metal!!! The car didn't even flinch!!! U say that u get annoying sounds when u exceed the limit - I'm pretty sure u r experiencing the "Speed Warning" feature, which is set via the Instrument cluster in the dash. This independent of the Cruise Control set speed. This would explain why u can exceed the Cruise Control set speed. Wat is ur Speed Warning set to? In my case, the Speed Warning is set to 120 km/h, cause the max allowed on Australian freeways is 110 km/h. When I'm on the freeway, I set the ACC to 115 km/h. When I accelerate to overtake and IF I exceed 120 km/h - I get the boings and on screen warning message, that will only disappear when I drop back below 120 km/h.
  2. depending on DCC mode, or Driving Profile mode? i would've thought the later, as that's the normal behaviour on MY18 onwards.
  3. Yes oh great Master @mazzy960 I'll go back to looking at my reflection in the mirror........
  4. @ApertureS - as much as u r being helpful and taking the time n effort to tell this person wat needs to b done - they're simply not listening!!! Breathe in.... Breathe out....
  5. It's the inner Fast n Furious Boy Racer in me stickers 😋 Whiteline APR Eibach Rieger
  6. Nice move. It's makes a great difference by increasing the profile size. Plenty of us here in Oz have made that switch.
  7. U can't split the USB connection next to the 12v socket - u'll loose ur "data" connectivity and hence the ability to use Android Auto or CarPlay. If u want to split, u need a proper VW USB Hub splitter and the associated USB ports. Wire it all up, give it power, then code it in. I changed my rear 12v socket to USB, so I can connect my phone and other stuff via cable if needed. My rear ones can only be used for charging.
  8. Where u put or charge ur phone has no impact on the AAWireless device. As long as it is connected to the USB port via a cable. I have a Google Pixel 5 - so I can put it in the phonebox and charge it wirelessly, while it's connected to the AAWireless. Do u have an additional USB port under ur centre armrest console? If so, u can place an aftermarket wireless charger in there, and keep ur big phone there.
  9. with regards to using Android Auto wireless with ur existing setup - i highly recommend the AAWireless device. i've been using for a years now its great. no issues and so convenient. it stays plugged into the car's usb port. ur phone connects to it wirelessly, each time u start the car. my AAWireless fits nicely in the phonebox, and i can even close the lid.
  10. When I had 235/40/19 tyres before, I had no rubbing/scrubbing issues with 15mm spacers front & rear. My car is also lowered 20mm. Now I have switched to 245/40/19 tyres - front was fine with the 15mm spacer, but the rear would scrub on full compression. So I now have 10mm spacers at the back.
  11. Yup. I would never use the apps as u have no idea wat the app is doing to achieve it's target. I'd rather do each bit step by step, so I know exactly wat has been changed. Plenty have used apps with no issues. Just as many have used apps with adverse side effects, and being unable to reverse the changes out completely. End of the day - tis ur car, ur choice.
  12. see the how-to PDF i created. yes, tis easy to remove. u do need the front jacked up and the wheels removed. Removing Front Bumper.pdf
  13. Hmm..... admittedly I didn't give it FULL throttle. Will try full throttle next time and c if that makes a difference.
  14. Phwoahhhh.....I had to put my sunnies on to c that!! 😎 Wat colour is that?
  15. I got 4 yrs, 52k kms, out of the factory P7 Cintarato tyres. Still had life in them for another 10k kms or so, but I changed to ContiMaxContacts 6 because I wanted to change the profile to 245/40/19. I definitely don't drive like a granny.
  16. it has been raining every second week, light rain, heavy rain, wind, bird poop, tree poop/leaves - u name it. just no hail stones!!
  17. I agree - Silver is the best to hide dirt. Mine is Business Grey. I had the option to buy Silver but declined it. I wanted Quartz Grey originally, but it would've been an a 6 month wait, from factory. So Business Grey it was.....and I love it. Not only does it hide the dirt....from far, it has so much depth and many shades, across the panels.
  18. I haven't washed Gandalf in over 2 months so far, and it's filthy - yet Gandalf still looks acceptable in this pic, which I took last weekend!!
  19. It's not a default thing and has to b coded in via VCDS or OBDEleven.
  20. Yup, it does. The Mode button switches between ACC radar cruise and Speed Limiter cruise. The Speed Limiter cruise sucks because it won't let u accelerate beyond the set speed, no matter how much throttle u give it. As previously indicated - it would've been nice if a 3rd option could b selected with mode button, to have regular cruise control.
  21. Wat about for us international peeps? Though shipping would b a concern. I would b certainly interested in having my torch light changed from yellow to white. I already changed to Kopacek boot lights. It bugs me every time I open the boot.
  22. I removed the A-pillar trim, a few years ago, to run the dashcam wire down it. The clips were fine to re-use and the trim piece itself is nice n solid in it's place.
  23. My MY17 Superb does this already. It will cut the engine before the car has come to a complete stop. When the Start-Stop is active with ACC engaged, it will restart the engine when the car infront starts moving.
  24. I prefer the gloss black over carbon effect. I've got Rieger front lip and side skirts. The front lip is screwed on with 20 odd screws. The side skirts use automotive sikaflex adhesive and the same lower screw points as the mudflaps.
