It's amazing, there's a piece of standard equipment located in the glove box that owner's never seem to use. It goes by the name of the driver's handbook/manual. Otherwise great videos.

Handy Video! I have the same vehicle, lapiz. One thing I want is a more obvious driving mode option on the dash. If it's in eco, normal, or race I want to see it more obviously displayed on the dash, otherwise when I use manual mode with the paddles it removes the tiny D/E/S from the dash. Maybe I'm picky? Haha.

Came across this channel and I have to admit mate you seem genuine and passionate which is a pleasure to see. You say things how they are, good and bad rather than just blagging it like some people do. I have a question and wondered if you could help. I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on this car, more or less done tbh. Just wondered if you could give us an example of how the audio system Is etc? I've heard decent things about it but can't see anyone actually going into actual details about it. Thanks and keep up the good work mate.

Hello mate and thankyou. I opted for the standard audio system and I'm more than happy with it. It depends what you're used to though as it might not compare with the likes of harman kardon. I'm not sure what the audio pack is like either so it would be good to get someone's opinion on that

Jay Kay jay could you just explain the fuel to me, I don't quite understand the 'ron' difference, performance fuel is a no go right? You didn't seem to notice any obvious signs of improved performance did you and considering the money for the fuel your best of sticking to plain unleaded, do you prefer shell petrol & BP or fuel from supermarkets like Asda & Tesco?
@jaykay7932
7 жыл бұрын
im currently on my 4th fill of Shell Vpower nitro plus which is 99 RON and the fuel reccomended by anyone who owns performance cars (porsche, ferrari etc...) Ive noticed no performance increase, or improved throttle response either. I drove to north yorkshire and back via the A1(m) and achieved 36MPG on this fuel, but im not sure if id have gotten that with regular fuel too. The last time i did a big cruise was my 105 round trip to snake pass. That averaged at 28MPG but that is when the car engine had only done a couple of miles so was still very tight and being bedded in. Ultimately people say Vpower is the best in that it gives you a bit of better MPG, but doesnt offer anything in performance. Which ever fuel you use, your warranty will be fine. So i personally might stick Asda regular seeing as i dont drive my car like ive stolen it

Jay Kay okay mate, I'll try the two and see how I get on with both, I like the idea of the performance fuel but wasn't sure if it was worth the extra money, what mpg do you average on a town run? With both fuels?

Nice video Jay. I agree that the dipping mirrors are a bit odd. Got a bit of a query. I've got a 2016 GTD and my brother has got a 2014 R. So both MK7. They both have stop/start (personally I switch mine off 90% of the time). When I do have mine on and the car comes to rest the engine cuts out. It cuts in again if you touch the throttle or the radar senses the car in font moving away. But my brother can completely stop his R and let it come to rest and keep the engine on. If he comes to rest very very slowly and then hold the brake down the stop/start doesn't happen. If he slows the car normally it does go off. Have you tried that or do you know why that might happen? He is wondering if it's a fault. I can't do it in mine. Even if it comes to rest really slowly.
@jaykay7932

Thanks mate. Re your question, I'd say it's a small software bug. A friend of mine told me that he was able to brake very gently and prevent both stop/start and the auto hold from kicking in! I've never tried it on my R but I could give it a whirl and see what happens!

i have a 2013 2.0 tdi dsg se, aslong as you have the handbrake in auto, (although not checked the owners manual) at any time you have it in drive, and come to a complete stop with your foot off the big peddal is must be in neutral as the engine rpm is the same as with the gearbox being in park or neutral, (if you use eco mode you can tell it's coasting by the revs dropping to idle) - in my case it's 800 (diesel), so i expect any petrol one to be slightly higher revving in idle,
