    MPG on a 1.9, 2.0, 1.6 TDI

    I'm getting about 48mph (mixture between of roads and journey length) from my two year old 2.0 TDi; I calculate the mph figures myself and wouldn't necessarily trust the DIS for an accurate indication. Expecting a slightly better return as the weather warms up. Dave

    Disc locked in RNSE

    Thanks for your replies so far: @udi A3 – thanks for the offer ninjakid - I thought it was a case of enabling the eject button and then replacing the 2012 disc with the newer version; does the new disk also have to be coded? bez101 – I have pm’d you Dave

    Disc locked in RNSE

    I have a 2012 sat nav disc that appears to be ‘locked’ in the CD slot of my RNSE mk II; I have just upgraded to a newer sat nav disc and now need to remove the existing disc. Can the disc be ejected without VCDS (I know it probably defeats the object) or a making a trip to the main dealers...

    Glove box

    Thanks Nigel, there's nothing wrong with the one I have; I am thinking of an iPod AMI install in the glovebox and am looking out for a box which already has the hole cut. The glovebox I saw for sale included the CD player but has the airbag switch in the centre. Dave

    Glove box

    Morning, I want to purchase a replacement glove box for my 2012 A3; the one in the car at the mo has the passenger airbag switch on the right. Would a box with the switch in the centre cause any complications? Dave
