i dont get a speed warning bing lol and iv had the car up to 130...is this the part when i say on a private road? lol.

Anyways, i get the bing noises when the washers get low, especially with the crap weather iv been motoring through the washer water it should just beep once a day or few days, not every time u start the car...kinda annoying seen as though you cannot stop right there and fill up ur washers... naymind lol.

Isn't there also a bing for low tyre pressure?

It's a good way of alerting you to an issue with the car.

Apart from the seat belt one that is just a pain.

Reminds me of a mate who had a Maestro Vanen Plas and it spoke to you

Bing - Fuel Level Low

Bing - Please fasten seat belt

etc

As the car was old it had a list

Bing - Check Oil

Bing - Fault with x, y z

Bing - You are driving a piece of british built rusty good for nothing crap - Please scrap as soon as possible

Anyway, his foot going through the speaker dash fixed it all :lol:

:( I'm missing out on bings I don't get these in my leon. How do I get more :D Obviousely without getting a DPF gearbox.

EDIT: Oh you also get a cool bing if you hold in the thing that does the tire pressure :p. My friend has soo much fun pressing that.

Low washer fluid is only on cars with the warning. Those with xenons and maybe the winter pack.

DPF is only on the TDi FR (I think).

The speed warning is set from the MFD (but it doesn't have to be the large one you get with bluetooth). Goto the option that says -- mph and when the car reaches the speed yo want to set the warning at press reset for a short time and the speed is now displayed. This can be adjuted by pressing up and down.
