Hi guys,
1st post! Had my 2005 GTI a few months now and loving it
Here she is:
Car only has 48k and having covered a couple of thousand now I have a couple of questions I'm hoping you could help with.
A couple of times, (once at M40 services 100 miles into a journey and once after a short 15 min drive) I've come back to the car after 10 mins in the shops etc and turned the key for nothing to happen. Not even turning over. Seemed to fix itself by locking & unlocking the car a few times and waiting. Could this be an immobiliser issue? Battery?!
When the car is warm, and particularly when driving around London and it's poor roads, I get a rattle/knocking coming from the drivers side front wheel area, only noticeable at <10mph when accelerating/braking and MUCH louder when turning the wheel left to any extent. Had a VW indy look at it, they said everything was tight and as expected for the mileage. It's also only intermittent, and doesn't happen when the car is cold, but it's very annoying.
Finally.. the previous owner fitted a RNS510 and it has green backlit buttons as below (set up for Skoda?!), I don't mind that but would prefer VW red to fit in with the dash. Can this be changed via VCDS or similar?
Thanks!
