no not really, he has the same opinion as me, at least see what they find out first, but he knows his stuff about cars, knows engines inside out.

Re: what a load of c**p
Cool, make sure you get it from the dealer that even if you if hear a rattle you want it investigated for free.dchuraman wrote:no not really, he has the same opinion as me, at least see what they find out first, but he knows his stuff about cars, knows engines inside out.
I paid £65 and £55 for 2 "investigations" 2 months ago on a light that appeared on the dash, the dealer cleared the light, cleared the fault but didn't replace or fix anything but still charged me £130 for these so called "investigations"!
My friend told me the light would have disappeared after so many runs anyway!

Re: what a load of c**p
DSG is well worth it mate, I can't wait to drive mine, not long now, arrived at the dealer just this minute, will go through the upgrades on Monday and depending on when I sell my car and the paperwork on my private reg comes through maybe Thursday next week (fingers crossed).dchuraman wrote:well i drove it home and its fantastic, need to get used to that dsg box, but apart from that its great, sound great, feels great!

Great pics, thanks for the ones of the cloth - it looks really nice actually I like the white stitching!
Is that the standard stereo? The screen looks huge!

Re: Problem fixed and car collected - Pics Added
yep thats the standard stereo, no you dont get lumbar support which is something id quite like.
i tried to get the cloth picture as good as possible, but even with my SLR it still looks lighter than in the flesh, thats why i took the closeup. you wont be disappointed
just taken it out for a blast, the DSG box is awesome, the car is just great, and it sounds fantastic too. For those of you without the DSG, the DSG box gives it some extra pops and bangs on the overrun, the throaty exhaust note is fantastic!
JonR356 - you were Spot on!
