Thanks for posting Trev. Did you get round to ordering one or are you waiting to see if there are any discounts on stock cars?

I haven't ordered one so far Paul!  I may reconsider if VW start discounting them but I really can't see that happening.  I'm also really enjoying my Black Edition 8.5R and I live in hope that an RS3 engined version may appear next year!

Being new to my car I decided to remove the silica gel pouch from the coolant reservoir and cable tie the bonnet release cable box.
I was too late with the silica gel pouch. I got it out and it seems complete but there’s silica gel stuck in the reservoir so I’ve ordered a replacement. I did remove it and I tried to clean it out.
I’m getting the system flushed when the cambelt is done at the end of this month.

I took the car for a run and got a low tyre pressure warning. The tyres are fine and I reset the sensors.
The vehicle information display between the clocks isn’t showing any data.

Has anyone that has had an Erwin account had it deactivated by the Erwin support team?
 I received this in an email.

Update
Having looked and looked for a replacement that thrills me as much this one still does I’m sticking with this one.
 Had to have a new battery today which probably is a consequence of my being away nearly all of January and it sitting unused in all the rain and damp and its age.
The car is 5 years old next month and has 17000 on the clock and in good condition. The All in one plan will be carried on next month for another 2 years no claims on the current plan apart from today’s roadside assistance.

Any regrets not specifying the Performance Pack?
