Re: Weird dash button hole

Not a button but a sensor for the aircon climate control.

Re: Getting rid of XC40

Concerning as we are soon moving from a 2017 Tiguan to an XC40! Although you may see many negative comments in these forums regarding the XC40 I suspect that they represent a very small proportion compared with those of us have experienced none of these problems and who have been more than happy wi...

The heated screen on the XC40 is made up of very fine elements with quite a gap between them and as I won’t be having the heated screen turned on I don’t think it’s going to...

Re: MPG - Again :-)

Just recorded my best ever mpg for a single journey in my D4. 200 mile trip from Alnwick to Nottingham via A1, M18 and M1. Pretty much 70mph continuous from start to finish. Car reports 48mpg for the trip, previous best being a tad over 40. Happy with that.
Trip was in Economy mode.
