Re: How to change the digital speedometer from kmh to mph?

You need to first change the country designation using VCDS or Carista. I changed mine to Australia. Then you can change it to MPH on the MFD

Re: L.E.D. Headlights

Like I said. It was not a case of being reliable. It was how much of the correct light you as the driver will need to safely see at night.

They look fantastic but serve no use. It’s the wrong kind of light.

Re: L.E.D. Headlights

I have tried these in other cars. You will find they look great cosmetically but at night they are dangerously poor at giving out light.

I personally would not touch them.

Re: Timing belt change on tdi 170 model, who's done it?

It’s not normally the belt that fails. It the idler pulley bearings or water pump that go then causing belt failure. Get a few indie quotes then ask the main dealer to price match. I did this on my last car Audi A5 which they normally charge £750. Got them to match a local indie (must be genuine par...

Removing DCC suspension fault warning on the dash

Get DCC turned off using VCDS.

Also can you feedback the difference in ride quality once you have replaced them?

Cheers

Re: Cheap Chinese DCC shock absorbers - experiences?

No I have not and for the price and risk you may as well buy from TPS and know you will not have any issues.

Re: RNS510 Retrofit - Under Seat Harness Length

Yes it is. I unbolted my seat and moved it to the rear without unplugging it as there are cut outs in the carpet. I ran it under the centre tunnel (very tight to access but can be done). There was plenty of slack left and it was neatly done.

Re: headunit with dynaudio

Have you configured it with VCDS? Which stereo did you have originally and what have you installed. If you fit the original; do you have sound?

Re: insatlling RNS510

It should be straight forward. Make sure you fit the microphone that should come with the Bluetooth module harness.

It may need to be enabled via VCDS for the can gateway to recognise it. Plug it in and go from there.
