Golf R Observations and Questions

[SilvrFoxX]

Ok.... am I missing a bit? This is what I have in my slidey-lid thing behind the DSG lever.
It looks like there's suppose to be a bottle opener in there. This is probably why I couldn't figure it out this morning.

Yep your dealer has ripped you off.. ring them up and ask them for the VW bottle opener.. or check your service folder to see if it is in there

either that, or it's sitting in the glove box along with the unread owners manual

(or maybe even the storage cubby to the right of the steering wheel)

LOL... should I.....should I call A Current Affair? Does someone have a 6 month old baby I can borrow?

I just read in the other thread that it's included with the owners manual (which I admit I haven't even looked at yet). I also just got a courtesy call from the dealer asking how everything is - and I mentioned this, and he said he forgot to mention it - but it should be included with the pouch I got with all the manual and stuff - but if it's not in there to let him know. I'll take a look when I get home.

So if I RTFM'ed, I would have probably found it (if it's there). But you know how it is... who reads manuals lol jks.

The drivers door will hold a boxed bottle of glenfiddich...just. Bah to you latte drinkers!

Pffft.

Real men drink Ardbeg.

It's a bloody expensive bottle opener. I think it's about $50 IIRC. Mine was in the manual pocket.

Damn this thread is long. Why aren't the separate R topics broken up? Looking forward to it reaching 1000 pages of mostly useless dribble. (my contribution! ha)

Yep - found mine - that's where it was. Buried deep in the pocket/pouch thing. Now I can haz latte.

Damn and I was watching for it on ACA

So I pick up my used Golf R next Friday. Was thinking of buying new, but got a used price for an R with 9k on the clock that I couldn't say no to.

Anyhow, its missing reverse camera and sunroof, two options I'd like.

Can anyone help out as to suitable aftermarket options for these?

Any advice appreciated.

[SilvrFoxX]

congrats mate.. 9k is not even run in yet.. pretty much new

[DDTW]

Any advice appreciated.

Almost everything is covered in the Mk6 accessories thread. Happy browsing!

6 digits code assigned by VGA and provided in your welcome pack that might take months to arrive or never.
If you are keen to get it now (and maybe win and iPad hehehe?), give VGA a call and they can give it out over the phone.

[SilvrFoxX]

Will give them a call Tuesday..

On another note I have had the car 2 weeks now and noticed the car creaks a little on uneven surfaces.. I read this is the norm, wat I want to know is does it get worse with age
