I also found out in the last few days there is supposedly a way of switching FSI off and taking the engine back to n/a, maybe a cure for carbonising?
Interesting - keep us all informed.

With the box ticked and not in sport mode, move the bolster to where you want it. Then hold in the sport button for around 5 secs and that should be the sport setting for seat set.


Well i didnt know that!! learn something every day....Is that in the handbook???
