  • @johnnyalanbailey

    You can literally buy the option for like £330 though. So it doesn’t have to be a subscription. Most people spec cars poorly and lease them/PCP and trade on so there’s loads of poorly specced cars on the road. Here, you’d just have to buy the option as you would from factory. I don’t see the issue. Pay £330 from new and have heated seats from the factory or pay £330 ten years later for a car that didn’t have them specced from the factory… This way people buying second hand cars can have all the options without having to spend thousands in depreciation, I think the only people annoyed are the ones buying these brand new cars on PCP/lease deals where they can’t afford the car and definitely none of the nicer spec options 😂

    In my 2003 volvo i just hit a button and my seats are nice n cozy within minutes! Jokes aside though i think volvo did actually trial this and it backfired on them and they ended up not doing it... although iirc I think ive heard theyre thinking of doing it again if not already doing it? (Anyone feel free correct me if im wrong) I think this is outrageous and should be illegal... this is like buying a house and paying a subscription fee to be able to lock your doors or buying a car and you need to pay a subscription for the airbags or rear seatbelts to not lock up.. ridiculous. The car comes with the items but you cant use them?!

    Well this wouldnt be the first time i think bmw tried to it kinda backfired. But know theres a little standard the idea behind is if you bought the car second hand or new and wanted to get some extra features you cant afford at the giving type you could buy it. Also the resell value can be higher. (About the last part this was the explanation about a company why they sell automatic light assistant).

    If this subscription crap carries on we're gonna end up with A/C subscriptions because you live somewhere cold Either the manufacturer puts the feature in and enables it by default or doesn't get fitted at all NO DISCUSSION!!

  • @stewartmacdonald601
    @stewartmacdonald601 День назад

    Doesn't seem too bad to be honest. The Winter pack is £485 for the heated seats (although that includes the rear seats, not sure if the subscription does too). So actually, £330 to unlock it permenantly afterwards is ok. Also, if your building the car and the price is approaching the £40k mark then it would make sense not to order heated seats new, to keep under that trigger for the luxury car tax, and then just buy it later. At what looks to be a cheaper price too. And if your buyuing second hand, and the orioginal owner didn't spec it from new, at least the option is there. And I guess at some point, some clever people will figure out how to circumvent the subscription stuff, and just get all that stuff enabled.

    Heated seats wouldn’t necessarily be standard anyway on this car so giving the option later isn’t an issue in my view as many people just purchase based upon a budget and would like a feature at a later date. I think the unlimited should be nearer to £200 though myself as I doubt you would pay the full price of the option on list

    @Carlos_Teixeira_Drums 3 дня назад

    I think if we accept the subscription models on heated seats then brands will start to take the piss and like you said we will have to subscribe to turn signals 😅 etc .... I also think if it gets out of hand then we can get to situations where someone has a car and opens the boot normally but has the subscription option to open electronically for example. Then when something goes wrong with the boot mechanism the person will have to fork out more money to replace a mechanism that they never even used...I like the appeal but I don't trust the corporations and I would rather have the choice to save money and retrofit things that I want if the car doesn't have for example...just my opinion 😊

      If there has been no introduction of air into the coolant system for example a repair then there would be no reason to bleed the coolant system it would suggest to me you’ve got a coolant leak either externally so physically dripping on the floor or internally and it’s being burnt in the engine

    Great video , I know this was last year but I hope you keep going strong brother ! I have had my fair encounters with the topics mentioned on this video and it creeps up on us for sure. Understanding it and acknowledging it is half the work the rest is support , friends family, perspective , coping mechanisms and sometimes medication...My inbox is also open mate! Have a good Christmas for you and your family 😊

    How many steering wheels have you replaced? Have vw got to the bottom of the issue?

    Hello, I am writing from Turkey, but my English is bad :) I have a 2022 A3 35 TFSI vehicle, its mileage is very low, but is it normal that this hose opened from the same place?

      It’s an easy enough pipe to replace should you need to

    My car says “front assist not available” message. Tried clearing code C110300 under adaptive cruise control which states sensor misaligned. But it comes straight back on. Badge is clean. Is there a way to fix? Many thanks

    • @TheVWMechanic_official
      @TheVWMechanic_official 12 дней назад

      Needs at minimum a calibration that’s what the misaligned means…that’s not to see you’ve not got an issue with the radar or the bracket holding the radar to the car. Best to have it all checked out :)

    Dude you’re a lifesaver! Holy shit thank you, I’m replacing the cylinder and I’m wondering “what the fuck changed!?!” I must’ve somehow put the shoe up a couple notches. Thank you.

    Turbo on my b7 passat with 266k miles has just failed! My go to mechanic advised me to just get rid of it now. Pretty gutted considering I've replaced a fair whack on it in the last year

      To be fair with the amount t you’ve spent on it and how well you know the car it might actually be worth replacing the turbo
