Awesome Craig!  Thanks for the info, more than 40mpg yay!  I may be being thick but couldnt see the video (I see it now... I must be blind).

One thing though.  get your nav on button pointing straight!

  Yeah sorry about that Bill.

Slightly off topic but I have to say out of all of the nice options I added the best decision I made by far was the colour. I am so glad I now went for white. Yes I had quite a few bug splatters on the car today but that is nothing compared to the constant frustration I had with the paint swirls on my previous black cars. I thought that I would possible regret my choice of white but absolutely 100% the best decision

Must say I'm not seeing mpg figures anything like yours but 95% of my journeys are very short. I just haven't had a chance to take it for a good spin away from city / motorway yet.

Some nice info there mate thanks!


Looking at the display it seems even VW think you should have got a 5 door!


I bet that couple thought you were nuts?

  I've not spotted that before

I was getting some very strange looks from them but it shows the lengths ill go to for you guys

Thanks for the info Craig 

Reassuring those type of figures.

Is that 100 miles stated what remains in the tank at that point? Out of interest what is the fuel gauge showing in relation to that?

I find my miles remaining always shows much less than the fuel gauge seems to suggest. On the very few occasions I've dared to let the remaining miles get to like 5. When I've then filled it up, its always taken nearly 10 litres less than the tank allows, which suggests there's more left in the tank, so the computer on mine isn't that close in terms of fuel / miles remaining.

Just wondered how accurate it was on GTI... Just to be picky and pass a little time while I wait for mine

It's really interesting you should mention this Chris. From memory, I think there was just under a 1/3 of a tank remaining which to me would suggest more than 100 miles left in the tank. I'll be curious to see what's left when I go to fill up next time

Yes it would be interesting to know what miles remaining / fuel tank says and what actually goes in the tank when you fill it up if you don't mind

I was thinking that 

Excellent work Craig, making our wait a little more bearable! I especially like the vid, I think that should be a must for new owners along with pics!
