I get between 450-500 miles on my commute, 45 mins each way, 15 dual carriageway (I wasn't doing 80 occifer, honest) and half an hour on single carriageway, between 40 & 60. If I go for a hoon, it drops to maybe 400. Never seen less than 400 miles from a tank.....

Bought mine with 107k, had new belt and new turbo fitted, belt needs doing every 75-80k so make sure thats done. Turbo is rarer to go but can need attention. Beyond that just make sure the gearbox is tight and sound, no nasty whines, leaks etc. 33k later and mine needs some attention on the...

52 plate tdi has an intermittent crunch in 3rd, other gears are fairly tough work... reckon I'll have a look at this when I have some time free

I had one pop out of nowhere a while back, had to bodge a makeshift clip to get me home, made up a metal one held in with cable ties now for peace of mind! mine was fitted on a dry day, with a cold engine, but you never know what can happen..

No problems fitting, had a german sheperd and a small lab in the back of mine, just be prepared for doggy nose marks on the window!!

Yes. :) P.S. I am by no means an expert, but I've not personally noticed any differences, and I'm a stickler for detail...

Why not a Tab 3? I know they're a bit more pricey but it'll keep you more up to date for longer :)

8mm is fine, fits nicely :)

make sure it's a fully dry day, took me about 3 hours start to finish, it's a simple job with minimal tools required, but a bit fiddly (butyl strip is a pain in the fecking arse to get off anything once it's made contact)

As said, try the battery connections, see if they're all clean/not damaged in any way. on another note - have you tried looking at the connections to the actual button? I had a weird issue of the button breaking off from the rest of the circuit board - the solders gave out and the whole thing...

Pliers are the winner, grab tight and lever them out gently, worked a treat for me :thumbup:

I had this problem when I got an mp3 adaptor for my old Aura unit. The company assumes you're replacing an existing CD changer, so don't give you every wire you need. **** move, I know... You need this...

Technically, both. If you want a slightly firmer ride, with less flex in the sidewalls, go for XL. If you don't, don't. Apart from that, it's up to you :)

Yeah it is, already replaced it once and the damn thing died on me! Teach me to buy from ebay...

Had my 110 TDI since Jan '12, bought with 107.5k, and it passed 130k on monday afternoon, Got a photo somewhere... It's been more or less bulletproof, had a new alternator and some new tyres (does that count?). Apart from that I've got a bit of dodgy wiring so the temp guage doesn't work, and I...

I've had the same issue with my tdi lump, oil light dipped just below the min, oil check light came on and stayed on stubborn as you like. New battery later on meant it reset itself, but it's come back on (130k on an old pre-pd lump tends to mean a little oil gets burnt, hence the need for my...

110 TDI is pre-PD, mine is on 127k and still bulletproof! Every mechanic on noting the mileage goes 'just run in then'. Check for cambelt, meant to be done every 70k or so, and make sure the turbo is either replaced or properly serviced - mines had both done, 74k and 98k respectively. Beyond...

It should light up as soon as the ignition is switched to live, and stay there!

I know what you mean, theres a screw on either side of the centre console holding it in at the bottom, they have to come out before the surround will come out. HTH

As said above it does come out, although it doesn't enjoy it! Start around the headunit and work up/down until the surround comes off easily enough/moves so you can access the sides of the heater controls, and just undo them and it *should* slide out easily.
