Re: Updating the Discover system satnav from the web.

Hello

Do you not have the original SD card that came with your Sat-Nav ?

Yes, back it up first and then download the new data onto it..

Yes, its a fiddley job - but it works - and you will not have to purchase a new card.

Regards

Re: Updating the Discover system satnav from the web.

Hi This is the second time I have added to this thread. I have no idea why it is that VW make it so complex simply to update their Satnav (I have Discover - NOT Pro) However, since my last post -the system has changed. The updates are free for the warranty period (three years) thereafter you will ne...

Re: Rust on the inside of the trunk.

My car was registered on the 1st July 2009 (model year ten as it was fitted with the new steering wheel) - and it will be interesting to establish if all t...

Re: Navigation Map Issues

( I have the discovery - not the Pro - but with this link they are catered for both) Make sure that you have a fast internet conne...

Re: Rusty screw on inside of door

I had the same problem with my first Scirocco - removed the screw and gave a blast of WD40 - as there was a small quantity of rust ! The screw itself was cleaned (with WD40) and replaced - but my worry was that I could not see into the actual door panel - so had no idea just how much rust was there....

Re: petrol vs diesel

All very well knocking the diesel motorist - but

what no-one seems to mention is just what are they going to do about DIESEL TRAINS..... ! Quite a lot of them throughout the country !

Re: boot/load liner

VW Load Liner:

Had one in my last Scirocco - and saved the day when a bottle of red wine broke !... Glass & red wine everywhere.

Have one in my new Scirocco - just in case.

Well worth the cost.....

Re: Tyre pressure monitor problem

Would be a great help to know if you fixed the problem - as I have the same issue.

Tried all combinations of ignition off - on etc.

Checked all tyre pressures - all as should be.

Many thanks

Re: Car-net App connect

Very little information on Car Net within the index - does that mean that it is of little use ?

How many members have it and can someone give an opinion.

Re: Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 tyre - 2 types

Hi Graham… Yes, the ones I bought are the correct tyre for the Scirocco – the chap at Camskill was very good and warned if the wrong tyres (FO – Ford only) were fitted – then it could cause a problem with an insurance claim. They are simply not designed for any other rim other than Ford. This confir...

Re: Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 tyre - 2 types

Hi atce

Yes, my MOT looms at the end of June – hence prompting new tyres to the front.

Always a bit of a gamble when changing from one make to another. To be fair to the Pirelli’s – they have worn well – but are quite noisy.

The price you quote is as expected.

Many Thanks
