    I have two unidentified things on my pre-facelift ultra, and hope someone can tell me what they are...

    1. I have the standard heating controls - just to the bottom right of the fan speed control knob there is a button. What does this do?

    2. Under the boot floor towards the rear seats there is an oval plastic trim. I can remove this to reveal an oval metal plate. What is this?

    Many thanks!
    Rob

    1. Have found a picture of the heater fan control - hopefully just visible in bottom left of shiny square with fan knob.

    2. Currently have dog box fitted in boot, but will photograph when I get a chance.

    Are you on about the picture of a car with an arrow inside it (underneath the front heater button)? That circulates air around the inside of the car and doesn't bring fresh air in to the cabin. Great if driving through smoke or somewhere you know there are smells you don't want in the cabin but I find after a while it steams the car up.

    Oops no - sorry meant bottom right (not left!) within the shiny square with the fan knob. I think it's only just visible in the picture if you know where it is. It is just a small round button about 6mm in diameter. Will try and take a better photo.

    Been discussed many time here and elsewhere. Although no one is 100% certain, consensus says it is a temperature sensor for the AC system.

    I think the oval plate is to get access to the fuel tank (level sensor and/or pump)

    It's a webcam that links to a dodgy Russian website via your data SIM - a sort of update of those bugs they had in every transistor radio in the 70s.

    Pushed mine once and it creaked...

    VAG docs describe it as infra-red temperature and sunlight penetration sensor ...
