I have two Thule Proride 598’s so I can comment on these. Mounting or dismounting a bike takes about 30 seconds and I can do it single-handedly. Never had any concerns in driving long distances, though the wind noise is definitely there above about 30mph. One of the things I like most is you...

If you have the feature there is OBD11 coding available for it to ‘remember’ High Beam Assist. Otherwise it’s off each time you start up

I did have the AC on yesterday as it was hot, but the level was at the max line probably a couple of weeks ago. I guess I’ll just keep an eye on it

Hello - I have a 2019 GTI with 24k miles from Australia. Earlier this year I noticed the coolant level creeping below the max line for the first time very marginally. Today the coolant level was halfway between min and max line, this is after a 60 mile drive yesterday. There is a small puddle...

I recently did the below OBD11 coding to enable "crossing light with route data". This uses the GPS Nav to turn on both static cornering LED lights when nearing an intersection, no cornering required. You don't need to be actively using the inbuilt NAV either. Still testing it out to better...

Looks like it has a pic of the speedo on the button. I think it’s to change the cruise control from ACC mode to speed limiter mode. On my car (AUS) that button is for turning assist systems on/off including the cruise control mode

I’ve noticed a rattle recently, on the driver door (right hand drive), however it is only off throttle, between 2000-2400 rpm. Is this unlikely to be the same rattle? Before reading this thread I thought it was from the door pocket area.

How much is it listed for, and what’s your budget for an R?

If I have the 8” Discover screen (with head unit in glovebox), will any other parts need to be swapped to use this 9.2” Discover Pro screen...

Went for my first ride with my Mini Bomber rack today. Overall very satisfied with it. With some practice it should only take 5 mins to mount the Seasucker and 2 bikes. Wind noise at 100 kph not as bad as I expected.

Thanks for this. Good to hear the positive feedback. I’ll play around with it again in a few days. I think placing it after the sunroof wouldn’t work for me as the rear wheel gets in the way of the hatch opening which might get annoying. Does the scirocco have a largeish panoramic sunroof? This...

Just received my 2 bike SeaSucker rack (Mini Bomber). Does anyone have experience with a good location for placement of the rear tyre suction cup? I placed the front part of the rack towards the front of the sunroof, but this leaves the rear tyre in part of the roof that has a lot of flex. Not...

If you have a 7.5 a common recommendation is the TCR muffler. Same as the mk7 Clubsport one but fits the 7.5 diffuser. There should be a thread on it

My floor sits maybe half an inch higher than the upper floor position (with Helix feet removed). Sounds like the GSW must have a deeper trunk
