Re: Parts stolen from my car

Sorry to see that man. I had my RNS stolen. Buggers totally damaged my car in the process. I know how you're feeling. Total low life scum around these days.

Re: My RNS 510 Stolen - West Yorkshire

No they're too expensive for what they are imo. They'd be daft to steel this unit considering what they're worth brand new. But you never know...

Re: MDI wiring Pinouts - cable colours

You my friend are a legend. I would have struggled to find anything as has been the case over the past few days. I was going to just try it out but unfortunately because the RCD didn't power up when connected through that harness I was worried on shorting the RCD out if I got it wrong?! I take it be...

Re: My RNS 510 Stolen - West Yorkshire

Hey guys, After much consideration I decided to go this route to prevent it happening again :( Really happy with how it's turned out though. The little b*st*rds damaged the wiring loom for the mdi so was unable to figure out which cable when into which connector on the loom. My dynaudio amp works re...

RCD 310 - MDI & Dynaudio Compatibility

Hi All, I previously posted about my RNS 510 getting stolen. Due to the hassle of having to go through all this again, I am looking at installing a RCD 310 w/ DAB (2012 model). My only question is that, will this support my MDI in my arm rest and work with my Dynaudio sound system? Very limited know...

Re: My RNS 510 Stolen - West Yorkshire

Cheers for the support guys. I've been looking at the lock style. The only issue is that the I've been told by the repair company that thief's will still damage the car and try to rip it off. Even with using security bolts I've been told they just end up sticking the screw driver into the screen. I'...

Re: My RNS 510 Stolen - West Yorkshire

Cheers mate. Well apparently there is software available which deactivates the pin on the unit and resets it. So technically I think you can use with any car. Bloody VW.

My RNS 510 Stolen - West Yorkshire

Watch where you park your Roc in West Yorkshire especially if you have an RNS/RCD510. My car just got done in broad daylight at Birstall retail park near Leeds. If anyone has any info or has been offered an RNS with a dodgy back story by someone driving a mk1 focus in green with no rear plates let m...

Re: GT 170. MPG

Doesn't using diesel cleaners invalidate the warranty, sure I read that in the manual? Have you tried putting in some decent premium diesel fuel in it and some swift long driving to burn out the carbon :D maybe its just clogged up, 15miles isnt that long to get it up to temperature and burn the car...

Re: GT 170. MPG

Update: VW ran their diagnostics, funnily enough they found no issue. I got them to fill the car up as they owed me a full tank. This time for the first time it showed 400 in the range instead of 350. It's getting better. I also used diesel cleaner to see if this helps clean the fuel lines etc Strai...

Re: Auto lights - Headlights staying on

Hi there, I've also just got my 170 GT although it is DSG and auto and displays this on the log book. I'd just contact DVLA and inform them. Also the auto lights is very annoying. Apparently it's EU law to have the headlights on all the time now even on AUTO. If you just want the DRL's on (bumper li...
