Re: Cruise control retrofit 2010 roc

Volkswagen have been saying for 11/2 years nearly that there was a technical problem and there were no kits available during this time.

Re: Wipers

Does it come on straight away or when you put it into reverse to come out your drive? Front washers may have frozen up if you havent been using screenwash or if you have been trying to ake the washers work while frozen you could have burnt the washer pump out.

Unofficially however people use the very newest firmwares that they have downloaded off the net ...

Re: tyres... which ones would you go for

P7's are more expensive because they have a sealant inside them to try to prevent punctures if you get small nails and things through the tread.

Re: tyres... which ones would you go for
