Found out today that the MKV does'nt remind you with a cheery "ding dong" that the washer reservoir is empty. :angry:Grrrrrrrrrrr


It's all those bl00dy Kamikazi flies attacking my windscreen that are using up my windscreen wash :angry:

Any of you detailers out there suggest the best product for cleaning this cr4p off?

Mine does, I think you need the winter pack for it to work.

Another thing to add to my list that I forgot earlier: being unable to lift the front wipers off the screen to clean it without having to get into the car to do it.

Of major importance:
DSG
Lack of LSD
Van-like ground clearance
Rattles (lots of them)
Not being able to switch between the preset radio channels from MFSW

Of minor importance:
Getting wet when i open the boot
Wing mirrors not folding properly
Idiotic design of the windscreen washer filling neck
etc.

I was going to start a 'If you could change one thing' thread, but this pretty much covers the same thing.

My biggest bone of contention is with the SatNav, the new one (can't remember what it's called off the top of my head).

There's no quick way, or at least none that I'm aware of, of shutting it up if you want to keep listening to the radio. I find it a pain in the @rse and it goes absolutely sp@stic at you if you deviate from the route, for example by pulling in to motorway services.

Also, I wish you could cancel the low screen wash warning. It's quite distracting when you're driving along, keeps on flashing up.
