Re: Test drive questions

If you’re moving from an Audi/VW DSG, I too moved from a 2.0Tfsi TT with DSG. I’ve been surprisingly impressed with the auto box on my T4, as it was a concern it might not live up to the TT. I added the steering wheel paddle shift as an extra. I agree though that it would be nice to see what gear I’...

Re: T3 performance

Hi. If your other choice is a T4, then I can say it’s a great engine. I got my T4 early December and love it. I’ve moved from a 2.0 Tfsi Audi TT, so quite a change, however in dynamic mode its potent enough given the size of it. I probably would have happily gone for a t3, however I wanted AWD and A...

Re: Full set of official xc40 rubber mats for £47.51

+1 for these mats. I ordered them last week, and arrived in a few days. Great fit and the gearbox tunnel mat is a very clever idea I’ve not seen before. Complete bargain compared to dealers prices.

Thanks also for sharing this.

Auto Volume Increase/Decrease

I may be mistaken, but I dont notice the volume of audio increasing or decreasing dependent on your speed. I haven't found anywhere in the menu to set this. Am I missing something? Similarly, when starting the car, the audio comes on at the same volume as where I left it. I often forget I was listen...

Re: Parking climate

Having just tried this again, your comment was 100% correct Morrishey! Given a few extra minutes, the seats and steering wheel were nice and toasty, despite the sensus screen showing that everything was off. Thanks for clarifying, as I thought I was going mad!

Re: Parking climate

Thanks for clarifying that. I think that may be what’s been confusing me. I’ve probably not left it long enough for the seats to have started to warm, however the screens have been clear.

Re: Parking climate

So this morning was -2, and sure enough the remote start kicked in the heated screens and mirrors, however climate control was stilll off when I got in. Seats and steering wheel hadn’t started either. I do however have them all set to start in the ignition start. Can’t help thinking I’ve changed som...

Re: Parking climate

I've used remote start a couple of times, and I'm sure the first time round (on a very frosty morning), it automatically started the heated screen/seats etc and had the air con on. Since then, remote start works fine, but the climate control has been off when I've got in the car, and the seats etc h...

Re: Harman Kardon stereo?

I’ve had my R Design with HK for a week now. After having read this thread over the last few months I was beginning to dread what I was going to think of it when the car finally arrived. I’ve just moved from a TT with a B&O System, and have to say.......it’s different. I’m not saying it’s worse,...
