A Bunch Of Merged "My New Car / Order" Threads

I still love the car though, just hope we didn't get a lemon. Touch wooood

We need new lemon laws in Australia. We are so behind in our legislations. What are the freaking politicians doing these days....

Its hard to know (for both your questions, really). There are so many things that can go wrong on these types of cars, it would be a miracle if you went through ownership without anything playing up. I've found with computers they either play up immediately (ie design or manufacturing fault), or never.

Chin up, its just a warning light (after all, Qantas has problems with hundreds of them...).

haha Qantas??? Thats quite discomforting. Yeah I think it will probably be just a computer issue. As the brakes seem to work fine. But I did notice a difference in my car when compared to the one I test drove. The brakes are much less sensitive on mine. Could it be that the fluids are lower?

I have to drive to the airport tonight so hopefully will be ok.

Seems like Europeans make their cars too complicated for themselves. But I love the techiness of them as I am in IT. Geeek!!

Ok guys,

Just picked the car back up from the dealer. One of the 2 Vacuum hoses on the manifold fell off so it was sucking in air. All good now

Cheers,

Fantastic car!

I just wanted to say that the Mk 6 is an awesome little car! I had one for 2 days while my car was in for servicing and I almost regret not waiting and buying one. I had the 2.0TDI and it drives like an absolute dream, no turbo lag which is great and the refinement and quality of the car itself amazed me.. Even though it is kind of like a Mk5.5, the styling and performance is definitely a step up from the Mk5. Also loved the new style MFD incorporating digital speed readout and cruise control settings (but the screen could be a little bigger).

Compared to the Mk6, my Jetta feels like a boat!

- Boot liner (disappointed that it feels more like foam than rubber)

For the Mark V there were three different boot liners. Putting the very high-lipped one to one side, the two low-lipped liners came in a compressed foam-like material and something more like acrylic, the latter being a bit more exy.

The dealer, if they are including a boot liner in the price, will include the foam one (which could well grip loose objects better than the other one but is a bit flimsy, especially for the bucks they charge).

But if you've specified the non-foam liner, you should be able to swap (presuming the same options exist for the Mk VI).

Thanks for that dubya, I will check it out but pretty sure there was only 1 option.
