Just in case if anybody's interested on the black paddle shifters for non-GTI/R paddle shifters..

Will share more shots sometime in November.

.. I’ll let you know

I've been using the fuelly website to track consumption since I got a Yeti in 2012. My Alltrack has been averaging 6.4 since I got it but I expect that will start to come down further over time.

Hi Rooboy. My 135TDI has just done 5000km. I got 5.4 after about 200km into an Adelaide trip from Central Vic. It climbed back up to a 5.7 average after crawling through suburban Adelaide. Not as good as my 103TDI Tiguan, but I'm happy, considering the newness of the vehicle, no AdBlue (why not?), and the extra performance available.

That's pretty good. Mine economy suffers a bit from the suburban sprawl but I did get 5.1 for the trip to Phillip Island and back for the MotoGP at the weekend. My understanding is the 135tdi still met emissions without requiring AdBlue while the 140tdi, as fitted to the Tiggy/Passat, does need it. Cheaper running for us

Thanks for sharing Fuelly, Rooboy. I forgot about that site!
I had issues posting on this forum since an update on my computer a few weeks ago.

Delivery on my end is sounding like late next week!
Pictures coming soon ..

By the way, Rooboy, do you know (or does anybody know) how to disable Auto Start Stop by default in OBDEleven?
I know the old method was to change the temperature, then the current method is to change the voltage to 12V.

I'm looking for the behaviour to be the opposite for the stock setting - instead of it being on when the engine starts, it should be off.
Basically, this gives the user to switch the feature on whenever needed rather than to switch it off completely (voltage method).

Beats my 7.2ltr/100 average

Unfortunately, the voltage method is the only one I know with OBD11.

Kachingg - I use mainly BP too, except for when I head up to the snow where it's Caltex in Mt Beauty.

Apparently her's was in for the 4th time and was getting a whole new sunroof as it kept leaking

Fingers crossed it was just the hose and nothing more with mine

Son's car has now twice flooded level with trans tunnel on passenger side due to sun roof leaking. Off road for three months first time, already off road for five weeks this time!
