    Channel 4 news - VAG emissions update

    Droopy exhaust

    My a4 cabby has the down turned exhausts but today I happened to notice that one of the pipes looked even sadder than the other. Turns out the top of the exhaust trim has been bent down so it now looks from the back like a solid metal pole. My wife was standing beside me when I noticed it and...

    Video AMI question

    Could anyone confirm if I could connect a dashcam to the AMI socket in the glovebox so I can view images on the screen. Ive got a 2016 SQ5 plus, MMI high ( I think!) with connect. No TV though.

    Brake callipers advice please.

    Hi, I have just taken delivery of an SQ5 but unfortunately was too stingy to pay £400 odd for the red paint, thinking I could do it myself much cheaper. Turns out I've made a mistake as the 2 callipers are different, the red has a plate with logo (not sure if it removable as it felt solid) and...

    SQ5 Running 265's?

    Just wondering if anyone is running these on the 21" 8.5j rim, there is a wider (no pun intended), but more importantly cheaper, choice against the standard 255. Are they too wide, only 5mm each side?

    Caby roof care, oh and caravan!

    I've just finished cleaning and proofing my roof and it looks pretty good if I say so myself. Only problem is that I know when it dries tomorrow it wont look quite so black. Can anyone recommend a good colour restorer? I tried renovo once but didn't like the finish. PS I know this won't apply...

    Any VW experts, coding question

    Hi, My son has a 2010 Polo Moda which has the dip beam as drl. I'm fitting the oem fog/dip option but, having got the drls working have now noticed that the sidelights are also on all the time.

    Thinking of S5, quick question

    Hi, I've got an A4 3.0tdi cab at the moment with shark map which I am pretty happy with but am thinking of changing soon to an S5 cab. Does anyone use their S5 for towing a caravan who could give me their opinion on how it handles, fuel consumption etc. I tow a 1800kg Hymer Nova and the A4 copes...

    Steering, roof, service light

    Hi, I had my car serviced by a non vag specialist and when I got home I reset the service indicator by pushing the buttons on the dash. The next time I drove the car the steering was heavy, power assistance was still there but it felt like the servotronic wasn't kicking in. I switched off the...
