Re: 2.0 TDI 170 engine cut out

I had a similar problem with a peugeot which got gradually worse - turned out to be the fuel pump in the tank. It would just cut out. I worked out that I could give the tank a bash underneath and it would restart. No error codes, just stopped - took ages to find it. Good luck.

Re: VW and 4 wheel alignment

I had similar problems - see here... http://www.sciroccocentral.co.uk/forum/ ... 34&t=14873
Swapping the front wheels solved it, and since then 2 new tyres have been put on the front and all is still well.

Re: Safeguard?

Some of the dealers really push these products - I assume there is a commission for the salesman and maybe even more profit to be made than on some used car deals. The interior protection they offered me was basically an insurance policy - I'm not convinced they were going to apply anything to the c...

Re: Bluetooth contacts - sort by first name?

I will take a look at mine as it's also something that annoys me. But for what it's worth, it couldn't be changed on my MY11 Passat CC which seems to share the same MFD display etc. On the CC you couldn't dial a number other than by using the phone book either, so there do seem to be differences on...

Re: tuning boxes - anyone any advice?

Hi Rob,
I have the same engine as yours but haven't fitted my CRD-T box yet, but hopefully will try it this week. Can you remeber what settings are you using? Did you try several or just go with it straight from the box?

Sports Car Challenge Game

My avatar is a screenshot from this game (until I get round to taking some real pictures).
Not really played the game, but love the 3D garage. I have it for iPad but I think it's also available for Android.
Search for "Sports Car Challenge" in the App store. It's free. :)

Re: RDS510 DAB Standard or Option? Upgrading?

Ok, Thanks. I think I'll have to load up the SD card and listen to a few podcasts for now. I didn't think I used DAB that much... until now when I don't have it anymore :(

Re: RDS510 DAB Standard or Option? Upgrading?

Thanks for the detailed reply.
I realise now I made a typo - mines a RCD 510 - I assume the same applies though?

RDS510 DAB Standard or Option? Upgrading?

I've tried to search for the answer but found nothing definitive, so does anyone know... Was DAB an option that had to be specified on the RDS510, or was it just luck if you got it? Is it now standard and when did it become standard? My car was registered March 12 and I was suprised (disapointed) it...
