Hi benough, I have a Skoda Mk3 that I could use some help with coding. I want to install a reverse camera but first need to switch the reverse light pulse wave modulation byte from AC to DC to ensure...

When i test drove the mk7 it was quieter than my mk6... Not to mention leagues ahead of my BMW 328i 2013 build. If you think your car is noisy it might be your specific vehicle. In this case ask the...

I never got to the bottom of this particular issue. I started that thread about the "blow up" but even after the new injector i still had the tick tick... Plume issue. Bel's description is...

My parents are thinking of buying the base Skoda octavia which uses the same unit. I havent been reading all the big sticky threads religiously but by the same token nobody has created a thread about...

Judging from the number of 118 comfortline tsi's that have had engine rebuilds i would think vw's mentality is to just give you a new engine rather than a new car. My 118 comfyline didnt even get an...

Wow. That is very odd for a 3 yr old car. The only other experience i can offer was with my mk5 Golf. I once had very rough engine running and had something called a lambda probe replaced. I think it...

Hope it doesnt cost you anything to fix. I read in some other threads a while back that for older mk6's VW were unofficially honouring the new 5year warranty.

If you owned the car since new, and...

We're not comparing apples to apples here. I am not trying to be a VAG appologist, but the RS3 would be a more valid comparison than the S3/Golf R.

The S3 and Golf R are one class down in my...

Nice work rawcpoppa!

I finally managed to test drive the TDI highline. It is AMAZINGLY refined. The engine has none of the gravelly diesel truck sound. the engine also spun quite freely.

I swear i was driving a...

PS3 were outstanding for wet and dry grip on my mk6 118tsi. However, they were noisier than the eco tyres that were OEM. Fuel consumption increased from 7.2l/100 to 7.8l/100.... Largely suburban...

It took 5 weeks to sell my 118 TSI in march. 3 weeks from first advert to first enquiry. Same with my mk5 comfortline. 3 weeks till 1st enquiry.

Just patience my friend.

I test drove the VE and hated the interior. From the photos, the new VF interior looks a match for any Euro. I dont ike the angle surface where the conterol knobs are, but the interior and most...

Toucheé. True.

If i cannot fully resolve all the road noise issues, and there are many on the F30, the real alternative as Golf 7 said is the C class.

I will likely sell mine and go to a...

Off topic but fwiw it is true the adaptive is mandatory. I haven't driven a passive sports suspension but the adaptive on my car feels so much better tied down on the big undulations and hits on...

Aaaarg... Tut! Tut! Tut! Tut! Tut! Tut! Tut!

That is how I felt about the DQ200 originally in my car, but things deteriorated over time! It is too quick to call.

Back to the OP, from what i...

I have the F30 328i. Make sure you test the 320d on the freeway and coarse chip road before making the switch.

The sound insulation is not exactly refined. I am disappointed in this one aspect of...

i would say if you are not going to buy OEM at least install a genuine after market down the track.

Thats said i paid 950 for an aftermarket rns510 so i would personally pay. Relatively speaking...

Agreed. I also don't want to hear any BS about how VW under rate the handling capability of their components and how there is really a larger margin of error.

take the DQ200 7 speed DSG as an...

Good pickup. I noticed the brown leather was not in the brochure.

I am disappointed the electric seats are still not an option! That can't be right considering all the other technology on offer????

Finally!!! It's launched!

There's also this...

Volkswagen Golf 7 comes out swinging - motoring.com.au

They seem to forget that Mercedes Benz started the war on loading cars up with gadgets...

except when you are trying to park at wilson parking town hall in the city! Trust me... Folding mirrors can be useful. I have used them!

Quote from Barney Stinson. Newer is always better! Oldest rule in the book :-p

I too toyed with the idea of an R32. Like everyone the big draw is the sound of the exhaust! Ooh haven't heard anything so sexy since.

Drawbacks are dated interior. It is a step backward from mk6....
