You're missing the rest of my quote where I suggested an alternate option to improve fuel economy when stopped:
1) auto start/stop (I'd expect most people will disable to keep the A/C running, hence...

Great first post Tons!

I've been told that the reason for VW Aust releasing the Adventure last year was they couldn't get the engines for the 162TSI Highline allocated to our market - which...

Have been told by the new car sales rep (& his manager) that the Redbook valuation certificate is for INSURANCE purposes, rather than a true representation of TRADE valuation. Certainly not the way...

I watched a segment on TV this morning where they mentioned that two of the big(gest?) motor vehicle financiers were pulling out of Australia at the end of 2008 (GE was one of them).

The presenter...

Am I missing something? The fuse box layout in the cabin near driver's door doesn't seem to correlate in anyway to the layout in the driver's manual.

River 94.9 (Bris / Ips / Toowoomba) also uses RDS

Can tinting be removed from rear windows with inbuilt antenna's WITHOUT stuffing the antenna?

I did it once, and wouldn't do it again (5th dimension). Tree crap still tarnished the paint, but you've got to be under the right (wrong) light to see it. But maybe after I get a couple of scratches...

Likewise - I'd never have another car without them. As a passenger, I often ask people with halogens if their headlights are on! Feel much safer being able to see pedestrians, the edge of the formed...

My TomTom One works fine mounted at bottom of the windshield on driver's side. No need to get a special aerial.

I don't think the extra tinting will have any effect, since I don't believe it is...

Brizzy is on Level 6 - but sim restrictions to Melb by the sounds. So my nice new black car looks pretty filthy all the time thanks to the intermittent rain showers that we get nowadays. I got the...

I asked VW spare parts about price for headlight protectors and was told they can't be used with Xenon's. :confused::(

There are some other threads on this forum that mention the same thing. It may have something to do with the speedo not being linear (10k increments up to 100, 20k above that)?

Also, for those...

I had this put on the old car by Tint-a-Car in 1995. Looked as good 12 years later as the day it was put on. :cool:

Unfortunately, I think its too dark to be legal with the new factory tinted...

Hey Hawk...

I'm liking the effect. What brand of tinting did Solar Tint use?

Also, I have heard that the glass in the MkV knocks out about 15% (athermic?) - so assume that 20% is the max I...

Turns out the $160 quote I was given excluded labour (went up over $210), whereas the $180 quote included the labour. Still, they gave in without much hassle, but it pays to shop around.

I am putting mine in for a 1,500km oil change tomorrow at the new local dealership. (Its actually up to 2,500 - but figure its better late than never).

I was quoted $140 + $20 if I wanted the...

Good choice. There is another thread here somewhere that describes the differences between MY08 and MY07. Of interest to me at least, the new MY08 all have FULL display and MP3 compatible CD player. ...

Once in "L"" and reverse, you need to adjust the mirror down towards the ground to "set" the desired position. Apparently you need the rear parking sensors (as an option or std)?

You could always try tinting the windows (including the rear). Makes the car cooler (temp wise and looks)!

I was in the same boat. You could always ask the dealer for a loan over-night - for that reason. I love the light colour - its just a plain, cool white that looks classy, not bluish or purple. But...

You ARE wrong. :D The Jetta doesn't have electric folding mirrors, but does have both Mirror Dip and Mirror Sync.

Have we resolved if the Dip feature is only available on cars WITH the rear...

Recently heard that Intellimatics have gone live with Traffic Info in Melb. I suspect they are only broadcasting data (using TMC specification for some GPS units) and not audio. Can someone advise...

I have been told that the traditional non-metallic tints are dye-based, and over time, they will fade / turn purple.

But I have also been told that there are now some non-metallic tints that...

I put a small fire extinguisher in the little space at the RHS in the boot.

And rather than a triangle, I bought a fold-up witch's hat from SuperCheap a few weeks ago. This also fits perfectly in...
