Re: New GTI

Its 5 door, still preliminary build week of 29. That'll mean delivery around second week august I reckon, if so they can keep it till new reg letter comes out. I was told the 5 door models take longer in general by the sales guy, as they're built in South Africa as opposed to Spain....not sure if t...

Re: BlueGT Problems already (had for 16 days)!!

Bit harsh - it's fair enough they might include it in the manual for changing the bulb.

Re: BlueGT Problems already (had for 16 days)!!

Just have a look above the wheels inside the wheel arch and make sure there's nothing in between the springs. It's unlikely the dealer forgot but it has been known to happen. Otherwise just take it back to the dealer and have them check it out. Your parents were hallucinating I'm afraid. The other s...

Re: BlueGT Problems already (had for 16 days)!!

The Polo only has 1 reversing light.

Double check the dealer removed the transport blocks from all the suspension coil springs for starters just in case that's causing the creaking.

Re: VW Track My Order

Track My Order is not working for me either so looks like they're having technical problems.

Re: my ZX6R :-),,, any other bikers on :-)

Yep, me.

I'm going to be rude - those chickenstrips on your tyres are as wide as the English Channel. I guess you're running the Kwakker as a drag bike in straight lines only with that nitrous?! :shock: :)

Re: New GTI

Yes, all 3 & 5 door 6C GTIs are made in Spain. All 3 & 5 door 6C Blue GTs, Bluemotion, R-Line should be too. Other 5 door models e.g. SELs are usually made in South Africa, but can be made in Spain too. You can check your own car by noting the 11th digit of your VIN, which is the VW plant co...

Re: New GTI

I think Evo have got it wrong, I'm pretty sure the Polo GTI has a torsion beam rear setup.

Of course the lower power Mk7 Golfs have a torsion beam setup, it's only the GT, GTI, R etc. that have multi link.
