    Phev trick for long distance cross country

    I just found out last week that if you select drive and then sport on the gear lever, then select battery hold or battery charge (in that sequence) that the car doesn't switch by default into auto hybrid mode. Useful if you are doing a long cross country drive and want to retain some battery...

    Mk 3 TT potential purchase

    Hi, I'm thinking about buying an early Mk3 TT, 230 Quattro with auto box (around 2015 - no particular car, just browsing at the moment). I've been reading scary things about cam chains on EA888 engines. Any thoughts? Chains should be good if the oil is kept clean but I read that these chains...

    Warning - Connect app errors

    Just to alert anyone using the Connect app to track their milage. The app definitely does not agree with the odometer. Please don't rely on the app if you are recording milage to claim expenses, for example. Always check the odometer. I hope this helps others to avoid the hassle I've just been...

    Door mirrors

    This must have been commented on before? But I can't find anything... This is the only car I've had with this problem. In wet weather, at motorway speeds, water collects at the bottom outer edge of the mirror surround and gets picked up in the air flow and spattered over the glass. When...

    Can I stop the engine going to idle?

    Maybe there's a setting, or maybe a OBD11 mod? In Auto Hybrid mode with Sport selected and on manual shift, I'd like the engine to stay in gear rather than drop to idling (and the car coasting) when I completely lift off the throttle. Is this possible? If there's a setting I can't find it.

    Radio text

    This only appears, when the car is stationery, by pressing the three dots on the right hand side of the radio display. However, the other day I saw radio text on the main screen while I was driving... Is this correct? Have I forgotten to turn something on? A setting somewhere? I'd like to see...

    Fuel type? 95 or 98 octane?

    Just about to take delivery of a 45 TFSIe. Which fuel to use? Is there any benefit to using 98 RON with this car, with either fuel consumption or power? I'm very interested to hear of other owner's experience with this.

    Poor seats in S-line

    I can't get on with these seats... The metal runners in the side bolsters dug into the sides of my legs until I flattened them with a club hammer and a piece of 4 x 2. The pedals are too high and too far back, so I can't set the seat right to be able to hit the brake in an emergncy and still...

    Bluetooth car kit and BOSE

    I've had two opinions from reputable ICE suppliers... One says that because I have BOSE I need a separate speaker for a Bluetooth car kit, the other says they can use the cars speakers. Who is right? BTW, both agree that the system can be muted when a call comes in. Both recommend the...
