    FAO People with dodgy Central Locking - Boot release

    I used to think that mine was faulty till I discovered how to do it. Its all in the timing. 1. The first press of the unlock button unloks only the driver's door. 2. If you press the unlock button again in less than one second, the rest of the doors will unlock but the boot will remain locked...

    I know that you are moving from a 1.6 focus but the 1.6 engine in Audi feels more like a 1.4 in the focus. I was abit disapointed although I prefer comfort to speed. For some reason it feels abit constrainted. Having said that, you can keep up with the trafic in most situations and maintain 80...

For the more complicated jobs which require VAG Com, the dealers are reluctant do anything. Its amazing how much stuff the VW Garages will do but...
