Golf R Observations and Questions

[stephen8512]

Bavaria, em, are you on the correct forum?

what i meant by that was when they send the details to germany...to get the car manufactured. figure of speech

[poloplayer]

Do the black headlights come with the black 19"s only? Or the silver 19"s too? It's just that I saw some on carsales which are silver 19"s with black headlights, but some with silver headlights

The black headlight surrounds come with both Black and Silver 19's.

1) Your dealer will be able to print you out a copy of your 'Vehicle Tracking Report' which gives you all the approx dates of all the build and delivery stages that your car will go through, this will also give you an approx date of when your dealer will receive it.

2) You can also get from them a copy of your NADCON car configuration which will give you the specs of your specific car that the dealer has entered into the system.

3) Most of us who have had orders in since before early July have received all this info and our cars are scheduled to start being built in the next week or so and should receive them end of November early December.

Hey mate

I received the NADCON data from the dealer but he told me this via email

I check the order with the stock controller and it is correct all of the items you have requested are there
Last time I checked the stock controller had told me that it was about to go on but I guess they may not have updated the system at that stage perhaps
Either way the car has been built
The vin and engine number showing on the NADCON sheet is the numbers for you car"

I can see the VIN and engine number and chassis number as well....

He told me my car was already built?

This was for a Golf R 5 door
Candy white
19" talladega black
RNS510
reverse camera
Recaro sports bucket seats
MDI

Its already built and he says it should be on the boat early november and I should receive it sometime in december.

Few questions arise :

1) Am I just lucky to get it this early or is there something amiss? Because i ordered the car on the 23rd July I think? its just been over a month and the car is already built?

2) Can I Track the car using the NADCON details? If so, how? Is there a website or something?

3) On the production ID/Planned productin week, it says WEEK 36....would anyone know what month that production week fell in?

4) What, on the NADCON sheet, is ENTRY DEALER SYSTEM, ENTRY NADIN and ENTRY FAVAS?

5) On one of the pages where it shows my options and specs, it shows the following:

MODEL
Golf 2.0 R 188TSID6A

EXTERIOR COLOUR
Candy White

INTERIOR COLOUR
Black/Titanium Black/Black/Titanium Black

EQUIPMENT

I cant seem to find the Rear view camera anywhere? Don't they fit the camera at the factory where the car is being made or is it a dealer fitted option or something?

And what is the "lights and vision" package? is that talking about the bixenons?

[Corey_R]

Look into the "how to track your car" thread for questions on tracking

And no, the "lights and vision" package is no Xenons. It's standard on R and much of the Golf line....
"Rear View Camera (RVC) WDD" should be pretty obvious in the list (it's written exactly that way). On my NADCON list is was below the first 'screenshot' and it needed a 2nd screenshot to be viewed....

found it it was on top of the 2nd page! haha thanks mate!

so what is "lights and vision?"

[Mr_Bob]

i wonder if it relates to the black headlight surrounds?

[stephen8512]

this might sound like a stupid quesiton but is the VIN number the same as the Vehicle ID? i tried to put that into the CARGO ID on that tracking website and it says no results fouund? I tried the chassis number too and it said the same thing? "no entry found"

It won't appear there until it's actually on the ship (or even a few days later).

How could it relate to the black headlight surrounds if it's standard on most of the Golf range?

Anyway...
PLA - Light and Vision package (includes 8K3, 8N3 and 4L6)

8K3 - Automatic driving light control with ‘leaving home’ function and manual ‘coming home’ function
8N3 - Rain sensor
4L6 - Automatically dimming rear view mirror

[zbeasty]

3) On the production ID/Planned productin week, it says WEEK 36....would anyone know what month that production week fell in?

According to my dealer week 37 is w/c 12/09/2010 which means we are currently in week 36.

i think he may have been referring to the fact that the xenon housing is black/black with the 19's rather than black/chrome when u get them with the stock 18's

[poloplayer]

The black headlight surrounds come with both Black and Silver 19's.

Would this car be a special order, it seems to come with 19s by they're silver headlight surrounds

Probably been swapped... someone quoted here a while ago about a car shipped with black lights but only 18s on it (was a demo or something), there was something on the order form about it originally having 19s.... perhaps this was the one it got switched to?

I know what he is referring to, but my comment was still correct. How could an option code which is also present on the Comfortline, GTI and GTD, none of which have the black headlight surrounds, be in relation to the black headlight surrounds? (hell, the Comfortline doesn't even have the option of Xenons, and the GTI/GTD Xenons are only optional),

Not a special order... there literally is not a code to separate the 19" wheels and the headlight choice (which my previous posts about the Lights and Vision package should have alluded to... if there WAS a separate code for the headlight colour, I would have just posted that to stop having to repeat myself so many times....).

As Pepe has said, the wheels would have just been swapped. There was possibly a customer who said that he wanted the car which was already in stock and had 18" wheels, but wanted the 19" wheels, and so the dealer just swapped them...

... it's happened a few times already
