Sorry for the long wait. Yes I have the lightning adapter and it works. Bit pricey but it is Apple and can at least use it for other things. Cheers all.

I had a 57 plate 320i M Sport - worst car ever owned, constant engine management problems, wheels cracking, clutch and flywheel replaced after 18k and then again after another 7k miles. It looked the nuts but its no fun driving a car you have zero confidence in. I thought it was a friday afternoon c...

Cheers Kev and Matt, £25 and £30 respectively, Apple really do extort cash from people.

Thanks though, will be prob solved.

So i have a 7th gen iPod which has a smaller connection than previous iPods, therefore the iPod connector cable you get from VW won't fit. I have searched ebay and cannot find a 7th gen connector cable and so does anyone have any ideas on how to connect this up, I believe the iPhone 5 also has this ...

Wow, 120 please tell me that was on a track rather than your local estate?!

Cheers Cupra, I have smashed my R but cannot remember going too much over 100, so 106 is a nice beasting!

Can I ask was your new engine under warranty?

Will get the coolant resevoir checked for any leak, however small - cheers.

Hi all, Just a couple of queries really, I jumped in the car to see the coolant warning light flashing at me yesterday, upon checking the coolant manually it was way below the usual level and hence the reason the sensor had picked this up, first question, any reason why there would be a serious loss...

Cheers Cupra, will defo give it a whirl, if impresssive enough then I might take it down the strip at Santa Pod.

I've never used LC as I read somewhere that you can invalidate your warranty if used more than twice? Is this true? if not can anyone explain the exact process, whether its actually any good, and or whether occassional use would have any detrimental impact?

Don't wanna be missing out!

Cheers

I have done 22k now and my overall is 29mpg. I can easily get 35-40 on long motorway runs because when I'm buzzing around the local roads I'm constantly in S or manual mode driving it like it should be driven. For me its as good a "best of both worlds" as you are likely to get. DSG is abso...

No idea on cost, but that is a truly beautiful R - wish mine wasnt a company/leased car so I could do some mods.

I ordered a black front badge about 1 year ago but never actually went back to collect it! It was about £30 from memory.

Most boring?: WUR

On a good day mine averages about 12 to the gallon - up the R!

DSG here and 15k miles in. I do long motorway commutes which can get to 40mpg but my average is 30, so whilst that means Im spanking it round town at circa 20mpg I think getting 30 overall from the car is unbelievable.

As a DSG convert of circa 20,000 miles now I couldnt agree more with the above posts. I supect that anyone looking at an R would consider themselves a "proper manual driver" and the mere mention of an auto sends shudder sdown the spine, but this box really is the best of both worlds. Despi...

Hey guys, Just seeing in anyone else experiencing similar problems on here - basically whenever im giving the car the full beans (between 0-50) I always get the traction light come on and a kind of stuttering. The car is well warmed up, roads dry, fairly newish tryes and from memory it wasnt doing t...

Clinches the top spot by 2 points - get in!

You're all fighting for 2nd place now boys!
