My mirror down worked from the start , I have the folding mirror option (and the only other extras are cruise and tyre monitors) so no reversing sensors. Are people saying that the mirror adjustment always has to be set on L for it to work as I think it didn't do it the last time I reversed. Will ch...

Really pleased with the colour. Been for a 'spin' today just for fuel - 40 miles later I got back to the DIY!! The paddle shift is great on the DSG box - now done 140miles!

When I arrived the car was waiting at the front of the dealers showroom and my smile just got wider as I looked it over:) . Absolutely chuffed with it, just getting used to it having done about 60 miles, it really want...

Re: What's your Build Date? (Estimated or Confirmed)

Just been told mine (2.0Tsi GT DSG in Rising Blue) has arrived at dealers and hope to get it this weekend if private ROC plate etc. sorted in time.
Ordered with dealer on 18 Feb so has taken about 10 weeks.
Can't wait :)

I might be in a similar situation. Order 5 March and unofficial bulid is week 22

I put my order with the dealer mid Feb and was told it was a confirmed factory order on 17 March but not given a build date yet.

Re: Revised Spec

Thanks for the links.
So in theory seems there will be some mods fitted to all models built from week 20 or 22!
I am still awaiting a build date so may get the mods or may just miss them!
Adds a bit more interest I suppose.

Re: What's your Build Date? (Estimated or Confirmed)

You can tax without MOT as long as the car is less than 3 years old unless the rules have changed. Also if you take the tax disc off when you trade it in you can get a refund for the unexpired months.
