Re: Dim Dipped Headlights

Great, that's suits me fine. My current Tig only has front DRL, and with my year and previous it's impossible to change. With later VW models, including my wife's T-Cross, you can get into the control modules and enable the tail lights for DRL which i've done.

Thanks for the clarification.

Re: Dim Dipped Headlights

Rear lights only work if you have the light switch in auto, if not only the front DRL come on during the day. I find that explanation a little confusing, i'm waiting for my XC, so can't check myself. If the light switch is in auto position, during the daytime are DRL's both front and rear, or only ...

Re: T4 Recharge PHEV or T3?

eugen61, I noticed you used the term highway together with gallons. Would you be in the US? I (idly) wonder if your figures are slightly lower than mine would be as the US gallon is slightly less than the UK imperial gallon?.

Re: PHEV Charging Flap Open Warning Message?

My 100% petrol T4 in common with every other car I've ever owned has no warning to tell me if I leave the fuel filler cover open when I drive off the forecourt. It's almost as though manufacturers expect drivers to exercise common sense and personal responsibility. Disgracefull!! Well yes, but, the...

Re: T4 Recharge PHEV or T3?

Manufacturer published figures are pure fantasy compared with real world figures IMHO, especially Volvo’s... Maybe in the past, but this is the whole reason WLTP was introduced. The testing is now performed by a government accredited third party, and is designed to follow more closely real world dr...

Re: Which options / packs are a must?

As you say, it's subjective what you consider essential, and what you consider nice to have. I went inscription as it had more of my essentials as standard, e.g. As you say front park sensors and rear camera. For me the android auto wasn't necessary. However I went for Driver Assist, I wanted the ad...
