Now I know you shouldn't check it............ But I had a weak moment today



I don't do much motorway driving, hence the low average MPH

All looks great but I couldn't have the volume control with the line in any position other than bolt up-right - I go mad if my OH moves it :rolleyes:

Man, I thought I was the only one. My wife turns it just to annoy me.

There's loads of us, I must show my wife.

And I thought I was weird for being annoyed at that - My 9 year old does it just to laugh at me now!

I'm very surprised that my little knob :embarrassed: has caused such a fuss, I shall take more care in future when I twiddle with it :shocked: and ensure that I leave it pointing in the right direction :rolleyes:

I found out something new today, carbon grey is real b!tch to keep clean!
Its still the best colour imo and a huge error on the part of VW by not offering it on the R.
That would have been a match made in heaven  :drool:

I don't find it too bad get some c2v on it once you clean it and it will make it easier. I wash mine once a week if weather permits and its usually just dust because of living where they are building hundreds of houses still.

The sticker over the knob would make me worse as I would know it had no chance of pointing in the right direction.  :laugh:

Funnily enough the alignment of the knob doesn't bother me at all.  But having that sticker over it would drive me nuts!

I cancelled my VW finance agreement and paid the car of. It cost me a whopping £6.56 interest 😀
