Re: Stop/Start

This was one of the first things I did to my car ,permanently disable the S/S via OBDeleven.It’s just not necessary in my view,if as said I’m in traffic for any significant time I turn it off manually
No more get in, seat belt on, start car, turn off S/S etc

Re: Composition Touch to ???

RCD 330 is the model you want,which looks like this so connections should be similar to your OEM unit, the RCD330 was originally designed for the Chinese and Russian markets

In an ideal world you would replace the fan motor and the resistor together,this r...

Polo GTI Clubsport with 220bhp, lsd differential and those black/red seats (as in Golf), we can dream So back to Polos, I am hop...

Re: Rear axle bushes polo 9n 1.2
