Re: Climate Control/VW service woes

So, got the car back and all seems ok. They told me they replaced the control unit, thought it was fine, then it stopped again. After some further investigation they apparently found just a crappy connection, and replaced the plug. Most annoyingly, the service rep gave me the impression that the dia...

Climate Control/VW service woes

I've had my car for about 16 months, an the air con has stopped working intermittently :grumpy: has anyone else experienced the same problem? (I had a quick sear...

Re: Roof bars

I've googled Votex, but can't find much other than T4 stuff. Do you have any links?

I was just about to order a set of Thule ones, now they have released a fitting kit, but the speed & load ratings are similar to the ones you mentioned above.

Re: Selling Up - Maybe ;-)

Cheers for the thoughts guys. Been away for the weekend, so just came back to a list of 'DON'T SELL' comments.

Re L-Plate. Can't work out if you're taking the mic, or just a plonker. If i wanted an undervalued return, i'd just give it back to VW.

Selling Up - Maybe ;-)

I'm after a consesus here. I am thinking of selling my roc due to the impending arrival of my second child. I manage ok with my toddler, but i think a newborn baby seat too, might be a hassle too far. Spec as per my sig, MY10 on a 59 plate, still mint, and <10k on the clock. So the things putting me...

Re: Thule fitting kit

Finally. Although the £96.97 on the fasteronline site doesn't seem to actually put the fitting kit in your shopping basket & I can't seem to find a way how. Does anybody know the load ratings for the thule stuff? I seem to remember seeing the details for one of the bar sets mentioned on this sit...

Thanks mate. Probably a more expensive solution than I can justify for the amount of usage, but it does look wicked.

RNS510 2nd Display????

Hi all, hopefully this hasn't been covered already, if so sorry (I did have a quick look in the search function). Can a second display be connected to the RNS510? I want a screen in the back of the car. If this is possible and someone has it set up already, can you tell me what, if any functionality...

Thule fitting kit

It's been a while since i was last on here, but I just went onto the Thule website to see if they have released a kit for the roc yet. Well it seems from their UK site that they have (fitting kit 1631) however can I find anything on the net that suggests a shop might actually be selling them? well i...

Re: Tyre prices for 18" GT

Just to add to the micheldever thing. I've never actually used them, but as they're so big, and quite close to me, I have always managed to get someone else to price match. F1 autocentres have always done this, and on my old golf which had really nicely finished santa monica's I never got any marks....

Yep,

Re: Tyre prices for 18" GT

I just saw this thread, and was shocked by some of the prices quoted, so I did a little research. My roc came with the pirelli pzero rosso's. Anyone living in the south may have heard of a place called Micheldever service station, who i'm led to believe are about the biggest tyre distributer in the ...
