    Tire Pressure for snows

    I just put on my 205 55 16 blizzaks on the car. The door jam label shows 38 psi for the original detroit and perelli setup. The label shows also 38 psi for the 205 55 16 full size spare. The question is, do the snows on all four corners really need that much psi? Any opinions??

    Alt Speed display

    I just noticed today that for canadian cars, you can run an alt speed display to show mph. Handy when in the states. Not sure if the reverse is true for US models.

    unswitched 12v power plug

    I am interested in adding a 12 v plug in the cabin somewhere so that I can charge things when I am not in the car. The factory plug in the ashtray is switched off with the ignition. Is there a dc source easily accessible. VW should have put a second plug inside the armrest stowage box.

    Hill assist

    Has anyone noticed that the brakes are applied momentarily when you are on an incline? Gives you a chance to engage the clutch while not needing to hold the car from rolling backward.......... Nice feature......

    Programming 3rd key

    If I were to buy a third key, can I progam it myself? Does it need any special programmer? My audi just needed to do a sequence with the door cylinder and the ignition cylinder. I tried the same sequence with the GTI and it doesn't work.

    Cleaning Brake calipers

    Any hints on cleaning the red calipers? I suspect after a couple of canadian winters, these calipers will start to deteriorate quickly. Not sure if touching up with red paint to keep bare metal protected. What is the best product to clean the brake dust etc. from the calipers? Do you think...

    any procedure to disable alarm pip?

    Has anyone found a way to disable or at least lower the pip volume on the alarm system? I can hear it clearly around the right front bonnet hinge. Can't see it. Might be under the front window cowling. Does anyone know???

    Stuff I can't figure out on my 2011 GTI

    Hi Had my car for two weeks now and I can't figure out a few things. 1) is it normal that the two front doors open with one pull but the rear doors have to pull twice? 2) when choosing the lock settings, what does the selection individual mean? I understand that drivers door and drivers side...

    Programming Key

    Was just wondering if anyone has dug up the programming procedure for the GTI key. I have a procedure from my old A4 but not sure if this is the same. Also, can I add a third key in the rotation so that all three keys can lock and unlock the car remotely. I tried on my A4 and was never able...

    Door panel rubbing against dash panel.

    Has anyone noticed that their door panel is rubbing against the end panel of the front dash? I suspect everytime the door closes, it hits that end plate and causes a line to form on both panels. Not a good thing. Tight tolerences means less room for error in panel alignments etc.
