How can you stand having your power/volume button not straight?

Do you suffer from OCD by any chance?

Not as mad as most, but I think you'll find many on here that will agree with be on the subject of the radio button.

Totally agree dubber36. This discussion thread is in danger of becoming an infotainment on / off button thread!

I don't like it either Even my OH won't dare adjust the volume in the car!

I’ve never managed to get over 40mpg on a trip in my Ed40 CS driving as carefully as I can. But the roads where I am are all hills and bends which isn’t great for fuel mileage.
I had a mk6 GTI around ten years ago that was REVO stg1 which was better on fuel than when standard.

I have to agree rwleigh, the CS is a great place to be even when driving slowly. The car definitely has a feel about it. And lots of positive comments from passers by. I’ve never had a car for two years before (aside from old runabouts kept for the unpleasant jobs) simply because I like to try new cars and enhancing them a bit. Yet the CS I’ve had over two years now and still absolutely nothing has turned my head to make me even consider swapping it out.

But don’t get me started on volume knobs! NOBODY is allowed to touch the volume knob. Steering wheel buttons only!! I bet the only knob in the whole mk8 cabin will be the volume button, just to drive us all nuts

Sounds like you (and some others!) need the badgeskins power button cover!!

But then how do you know it's the right way up?

I can honestly say I don't think I've ever seen more than 33/34 in my CS (in 2 years and 20,000 miles)! Even on fairly steady runs. I think 30 is my long term average, I have no idea how people get 40+ out of theirs...

It has to be improved efficiency from the remap, I've just been to the supermarket and back just doing normal driving and not even trying to be super economical and it returned 41...

Hope you all appreciate the power button position!

These MPG threads always go the same way. Modern turbo engines can have a very wide average mpg window. Yes they can be incredibly efficient but this depends highly on driving style/ terrain etc.

If you live somewhere flat these engines can do 40 mpg + all day long ( on medium/ long journeys) if driven gently on the turbo torque. It's very hilly round here so even gentle driving will quickly bring the mpg down into the 30's.
