Re: Electronic Engine Sound

Funnily enough, I've never noticed the sound from the inside on the car. However, I guess it must be there as you guys have been hearing it. So I googled and this came up.

Re: Scraping Noise when coming out of Full lock

Re: Considering a purchase

Software still has glitches, like losing memory of ambient light settings etc. What is most infuriating is the slowness of the screen. I guess that is common on your ID3 too. Unless there is hardware change, I can't see any major improvement. VW have had this out for 3years or so now without any usa...

Re: First reasonoble length drive.... Hmm

If it wasn't for the fact that we get London Congestion charge free till 2025 and 10min paid Westminster parking, we would not have gone EV.

TBH, if you want frugal (albeit the most boing drive ever) a Toyota Hybrid, like a Corolla, gives 50MPG day in day out.

Re: My Born small improvement’s

All I can tell you is I patched in for camera the same as the supplied loom from the fitxamx and my dashcam did not power down. The loom it draws power from is common knowledge and not some secret fitxamx magic. However, for me it would never power down in my few days if testing. So I gave up and ju...

Does the red/blue light go off after car is locked ?

Re: Can I disable auto lock when vehicle sets off ?

looks like VW diasbled this from the menu screen with the EVs. You can do it via OBD11 but not sure if you will get an extra slider on the Menu to reactivate.

Re: Refurbing curved alloys

Depending where you are in the country, these guys are really good with decent pricing. They are not mobile, so have a proper workshop with the proper gear. I was surprised how big it was! These guys have been around for over 20yrs.
