Taken mine on holiday! From home in west London to Chatsworth house in Derbyshire, now enjoying some local ale at an excellent pub near Matlock Bath. Tomorrow driving to see family near Middlesbrough. Didn't get to explore the performance much as there seemed to be the threat of a speed camera every 10 feet on the M25 and the M1, plus a few 50 zones, so at least the economy was good at nearly 45mpg over the 165 miles. Aircon was excellent and the ride superb even on 19s without DCC. What a great all-rounder :smiley:

Tried to connect my OBDeleven for over an hour and couldn't get it to connect. Tablet could see it but it wouldn't connect even after restarting the tablet. Anyone else have this issue.

Reports of same issue on another forum, so you are not alone.  For some, deleting the obdeleven app and reinstalling it worked.

I have been using OBDeleven since the start of the year without issue. A few days ago it wouldn't connect.
I went to the app store. found OBDeleven and saw an update was available.
Connected fine straight after that!
Good luck!

Cheers, will try it tomorrow. I've got just under 18 hours of Le Mans and almost two slabs of Heineken to get through first.

Only got round to trying it today, yes there was an update when I checked in the google AppStore but it didn't help. So I deleted the app and reinstalled it and bam, up and working in a minute after signing back in.

Thanks again for the help.

Does anyone else's glovebox look like this? Even after taking everything out(only a couple of small things, I don't keep the manual in there) it is the same.

Definitely not. That's warped and/or there's clips broken.
MK8 GTI Clubsport. Reflex silver, Estorils, and a few other bits.

I've removed my glovebox twice since owning and it still fits flush. Have a look at the removal guide on here and see if you can find out the cause of the wonkiness. Or... take your dealership up on their offer for a new car 🙂

It is looking more probable every day on yhe new car actually. The offer is from VW, I won't be darkening the doors of the dealer I got the car from.

It will cost about 1k to retrofit the sound part of the sound and sport pack onto the new car but the new car will be worth more than that.
