Re: Dealer Service Opinions

Peterowl: Did they let you keep the cover? They try a bit harder at Audi - had one as a courtesy car once and there was a Golf sized Audi umbrella in the car. The handover guy said that he wasn't expecting the umbrella back with the car - score! Seriously though, how special do you want the handove...

Re: Dealer Service Opinions

After recent experiences that I've had with VW Dealerships, I thought I'd ask for the opinions of a wider audience, in relation to experiences either, buying, after care or just general thoughts on VW Dealerships. Personally, I have found every experience to be very poor compared to Audi. Nobody ev...

Re: Windows Move When Starting

I think this is because the windows are frameless. When you open the door the window moves down slightly so it can clear the edge of the car. It does this automatically if you pull the door handle, or if it is 'expecting' you to get in/out the car, i.e. when you unlock it or when you turn off the en...

Re: A little hiccup at collection...

How did you find the rest of your buying experience? I looked at buying one from the same place as you but they were quite unhelpful - which is why I have gone for an internet broker instead. I wasn't involved too much in the whole process since its my 18th birthday present so my dad essentially ma...

Re: Problems with MDI and iPod

does it not put itself to standby after a minute or so? That's what iPods usually do after you remove it from a dock, or take it off charge.

That's one hell of a wait! You'll enjoy it all the more after waiting for that long though, I'm sure.

Dealers sound really good - up here they would have botched trying to retro fit them :bang: wouldnt be much of a botch job, as its only 2 vents and 2 fog light with 6 screws, the wiring will be there anyway I asked about the possibility of a retro-fit and the dealer said it was only a factory fit o...

Re: A little hiccup at collection...

What did the dealer say when you pointed it out? Did he look sheepish? :oops: As we were walking out, I said "Ah. Problem." when I explained he was like "well it can't have been on the order form then". At which point I invited him to go back and check, and sure enough, it was t...

A little hiccup at collection...

So, went to pick up the roc this morning, everything going ok, dealer takes me out to have a walk-around. No front fogs. Not happy. :mad: In short, I still drove away in it, and I'll be getting a new one with the right spec in a few weeks. And I'm getting dynaudio on it! On reflection, I don't think...
