That's just about the same story I got from the sales guy. VW customer services can help to trace the order if you give them the commission number when the car was ordered. Did not mention how it was damaged, just that VW would not let the dealer replace it with the one from the model in the showro...

Drive between 1800 and 3000 rpms when the engine is cold. When I said that you must avoid low revs I wanted to say tha don't drive during some min driving in some gear between 1000 and 1500. That things are driving habits from my grandparents or the maniacs that think that they are saving money in ...

If the dealer should now exactly where the car is I wish someone could help out Inchcape Bridgnorth on my behalf. Still waiting over 4 month's for my GT, they have been very vague since day one. They told me that after it's built they cannot trace it. Was given build week of 48 last year and by all...

Don't worry only avoid high rpms at low temperature of the engine. And also avoid extremely low rpms always they are critical for some parts for the vibrations produceds. You will see two red lines in the speedmeter, if you never exceed these marks you will take real care of your engine, but it doe...

After some new car/driver advice

Woohoo, after three and a half months, I've been told I should be able to pick up my polo very soon. Are there any things I should try to do with it being a new car? I remember reading somewhere that its best to be gentle with a new engine. Does that mean avoid high rpms? and/or being extra gentle w...

Mine should be about 2 weeks. I went in to the dealers last friday and asked them to get me any 3dr twist 1.4 tdi that wasn't yellow they could get as soon as possible. Starting to regret it now - I know the polo is the car I want but I'm not sure about Indigo Blue with the unpainted bumper strips,...

3 months? :shock: or did you opt for many options? mine was straight from the factory with few factory options and took 10 weeks. At the time they couldnt source any 5dr 1.4 TDi in silver in the UK, so I went and added loads of options instead - remote alarm + rear leccy windows, body color pack, h...

I ordered a 1.4 TDi Twist about two months ago - estimated delivery is end of this month. Three month wait for factory orders. If I had known it was going to take this long I would have seriously considered getting a used one :( Whats the delivery time quoted for your order? Looking through the broc...

I managed to haggle him down by almost that much before I put a deposit down I'd seriously love to know how to do that -- I swear, every time I walk in to a garage, people must see the invisible "sucker" sign painted on my forehead... :? Im sure everyones got different techniques. In my c...

That was my first line of thought, but aparently there was at the time a shortage of the model I wanted - so it had to be done as a factory order. I managed to haggle him down by almost that much before I put a deposit down - but if the discount is permanent then I believe some more haggle (or a she...
