Never been mentioned, as far as I know. VWKev would probably advise you go for the DSG 'box and non-Monza wheels. I would say the leather, but only if it's the full leather like Kev's and not the partial leather everyone else seems to have :lipsrsealed:

Dont need to do that just flick the switch on the lights and that does the trick. Thanks though Steve

No.
It goes very dark.

Not good on a motorway doing 70mph (obviously no faster as that's illegal).
 :wink:


Even if this did work you would forget everytime and be annoyed as hell. That's why I got the fuse removed.

Anyway, if the rears only went off that's not good either.
