If you compare the tyre pressures among the various VW products, it appears they tailor the air pressure to suit the ride / handling expectations of the target market. There are some Skoda Octavias (near enough 1.5 tonne) that have recommended pressures of 29 front / 34 rear with a big diesel lump up the front.Quote:

Just checked the pressure on mine after 3 weeks ownership. Factory/dealer set at 38psi which is exactly what I wanted. Feels like 45psi admittedly! [emoji16]

Had my first decent trip on the freeway (back to work :( ) today in the Gti and it was a most pleasant drive. Two things which are a PITA. Start/Stop and the centre console arm rest. Give both the flip. will be seeing my mechanic very soon for VCDS disable for Start/Stop. Very firm going over speed humps at work compared to the nice plop of the Jetta and that's not in Sports suspension mode. Astoundingly, from a brand new engine, I was averaging 6.4l/100km.
Update. It's been a very hot day in Melb. Well I mean for a while. But my GTI decided to not have the aircon to run.
Has anyone here experienced temps above 35degrees n aircon working or not?

Yep is happened to me more then once in the TDI. Don't know why it happens but turning the car off, waiting a bit then turning it back on seems to fix it.Quote:

Saw temps of 38C on the dash on Sunday..... Aircon didn't miss a beat. At one stage, was stopped still for 5mins++ on the M7 due to a crash.

No problem for me the past two days here in Melbourne. Oil Temp never went above 107c
Does anyone know if Traffic Alert Notifications is enabled in MY16 with Discover Media Sat NAV or is there a setting in VCDS to check as well? I have ticked the check box in settings for TP alerts and the Radio Text check box is also ticked. When I press the traffic button, a message says there are no alerts. Does it mean that traffic is fine within my current location? Or is there a particular FM station that broadcasts alerts?
