Re: Bridgestone Turanza tyres and punctures.

Or you could just change the tyres? The Euranzas are not great, with a low start depth of 5mm in comparison with to up to 8mm in others. Once my Euranzas are shot, I'm switching to a combi tyre, there's plenty of recommendations if you root around this forum. Rob I wonder if anyone has tried to get...

Re: Replacement windscreen problems

Just had to have a new windscreen on my ID3 Performance Pro. Had it done under the insurance and LV mandated that I went to National Windscreens. They did a poor job.

Where exactly? If I look at my privacy settings, there is nothing about OTA updates. I wonder if that means my car can’t have them, for whatever reason?

My first car was a Mini, when it played up, a quick spray of WD40 or a moisture repellent and I was on my way. VW on the other hand do not appear to be able to build a reliable moveable co...

Also, I was requested by the VW tech, on the recommendation of VW UK, to delete myself from the VW app and st...

No car is perfect - and I'll stand by that... 2011 1.6tdi golf from new to 90k miles. Changed two tyres - nothing else (paid for servicing every 12k miles though..). Very good car but that was 90k miles with the VW sanctioned cheat device in full flow... Something about the seat and driving positio...

Re: Consumption?

I find the whole range left 'Guessometer' hilarious to be honest. It's nothing but a shot in the dark by the cars AI based on numerous factors, and should be seen as a very fuzzy approximation.

Re: Consumption?

So if I understand correctly, if I preheat the car for about 5 minutes, then get in and hit the break pedal, the car calculation doesn’t take into account any energy expended for the preheat? So in that case the 3.2 figure I am seeing could be true for the journey but is not true in relation to the ...
