Title: New GTI (with pics)
Post by: 80walk on March 15, 2016, 09:57:34 pm
Just picked up new GTI, loving it. Few issues so far if anyone has any input would be appreciated :smiley:

Main issue is with leather heated seats, drivers lumbar support left and right i think. Motor can be heard moving when button is pressed but nothing happens, up down lumbar works ok. Was reading a bit about this online and can seems it can be fixed if rear of seat is disassembled to get to lumbar, seems wires can slip off motor wheel... im a bit vary of doing this as i dont want to screw the seat up ... anyone done this before or can give any tips ?

rest of car is in great condition, standard radio sound quality is a bit poor, was expecting better from a GTI ! was looking at RCD510 units, anyone done this and noticed any improvement ?

few pics ...

Looks like a neat example - front maps arnt to my liking though but each to their own!

Tidy motor though. I found the RNS510 a huge improvement on the RCD300 (so I would assume the RCD510 is too) but other units are available too which can be better.

Looks good. Agree with the above though, oem floor mats would finish it nicely  :happy2:
