Re: Rns510 voice commands
when I swopped out my rcd-510 for an rns-510, I had to add a harness replacing the original 9w7 bluetooth harness. otherwise it will only function as a mute switch http://www.ebay.com/itm/WIRING-HARNESS-VW-BLUETOOTH-FOR-RCD510-WITHOUT-VOICE-CONTROL/271399911236?_trksid=p2047675.c100012.m1985&_tr...

Re: Odd ride when car is cold.
I get that when I had Bridgestones. I believe the tyres take on a flat spot when it rests in the garage and so has that 'square wheel' effect until it warms up and tyre roundness is restored.

Re: Which Satnav?
speed cameras can be input using POI management software but there isn't any alerts that I know of This is an example. you would have to look for someone in your area for relevant POI http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/forums/f78/custom-pois-3xxx-firmware-aus-nz-maps-v-4-1-poinspect0r-65337.html" ...

Re: Just lowered my new 09 2.0 TSI - Problem
any chance that the new geometry be causing your tyres to track differently (negative camber) and so be riding on a part of the tyre that may be the source of the noise?
also a less absorbent spring (stiffer rates) will transfer more road imperfections and noise

Re: what tyres is everyone rocking?
My bridgestones were also doing that at 30,000km. I had narrowed down my replacement choices to Michelin PSS, Contsportcontact and Hankook S1evo2. hankook had a promotion (buy 3 get 1 free) so I went that route. Must say I am quite happy with the hankooks. Wheel spins greatly reduced, tyre noise vas...

Re: Automatic climate control air conditioning
I'm not sure which compressor's on our car but some are fixed displacement while others have variable. The fixed displacement would require de-clutching when temperature drops below setting whereas the variable displacement just zeros output until needed. Like some of you, I just set a comfortable t...

Re: MPG 'mprovement' after service - odd
When they performed the recall on my MU, they also uploaded a different program into the DSG. Can't say there was any improvement on mine

Re: Remaps
There has been a lot of debate regarding the pros and cons of ecu remapping so I won't elaborate but tell you my rationale fro doing mine and experience. The R has a big turbo and so it can be laggy below 2000 rpm unfortunately thats where I spend much of my time in in-town driving (mine's a DSG). H...
