Re: start stop problem
I have driven company/hire cars with various start/stop systems (SSS) in the past. Living in an area with a higher than normal concentration of level crossings I like the idea of the engine switching off automatically because, by the time I have sat waiting for the barriers to lift, long enough to ...

Re: Suspension dilemma executive style model

Start/stop
I have this permanently disabled on my passat 14 plate.
The thinking was less wear on starter motor etc (or is this a myth)
Question, is my thinking correct or should I enable it to save fuel in the current climate?

I have the same car it's very unforgiving especially with the poor conditions of roads i think it would sit fine on a motorway but for minor roads if you hit a bump the impact is felt through the car maybe coilovers would make it more comfortable or standard springs if they fit the dampers it would...

Standard 18" kansas alloys with 235 40 18.
Correct psi from fuel flap 36psi.
I don't want to change to 17"s as this will ruin the look.

Wipers noisy
Hi Bought some bosch wipers that sometimes perform very well quiet and you don't even notice them wiping the windscreen. Other times they are the opposite noisy, sticking and juddering. Is this to do with all the residue on the windscreen or the wiper mechanism . Any advice.... Sent from my SM-G973F...

DSG oil change
Hi What's people's experiences with getting an oil change. Its not causing any issues just for peace of mind. Ive heard two opinions: 1- No, as it caused issues with sticking etc but prior to the change it was ok 2- Yes, more for peace of mind as you won't really tell the difference after the change...
