The bottle opener fits in the front cup holders to separate the opening into two
the were made from stainless steel but I am told that they only plastic now.

The bottle openers are still steel, they are just clad with a hardened plastic to stiffen them up. Apparently the old ones used to flex a fair bit. I can't comment on the previous ones but the new ones are great.

Pacific badge

Les,
I ordered the Pacific on 30 March. There was one Pacific (no badge) and one Edition (with badge) at the dealership that day. The Pacific was not a Comfortline as it had all the extras included the new package.

I checked the shipping details using the VIN and the car was discharged from Port Kembla on 19 March, arriving (so the dealer tells me) at the dealership this Monday 14 April.

It's a bit radical not to accept delivery of the vehicle due to a missing badge, but I do smell something fishy, and as this is the first vehicle I've ever bought "new", I'm a bit nervous about the whole thing.

Anyhow, I'll front up at the dealership on Friday and play it by ear

Just had an interesting experience. The wife and I were picked up by a friend in her nice new Pacific. Got in and noticed as soon as it was started that it was a TDI. When we got out and noticed the badge on the rear hatch was a TSI badge. Car was delivered this way and dealer has promised to fit a new badge.

I think it extraordinary that VW are unable to get badging correct, how difficult can it be?

Cheers

Picked up the Pacific TDi on Thursday
When locking the car it doesn't beep or sound horn to let you know all is ok,
is this the normal or can I turn on a beep.
thanks
les

Yeah can turn a horn beep on and off, as well has the indicator flash on and off, but you will need to find someone with a VAG-COM cable + software.

I would help you but I am sure you don't wanna drive to Sydney for it

Surely someone locally has one. 6 packs of beer alwasy seem to be a good payment for the service
