Golf Mk 7 - Genuine accessories $

[team_v]

Has anyone actually rang a VW parts department for the prices?.... most the time the car calesmen will put a BIG... and sometimes i mean BIG markup on the accessories.
deal direct with the parts dept.
Example...with one of my golfs the sales staff wanted $290 for 4 floor mats, i walked over to the parts dept and paid 175.

Or you can pick them up on ebay for around $100.......

For me id rather pay a few bucks more for the two years warranty i get... example, our Amarok tonneau cover was lifting a bit in one edge after about 8months of constant use.... was replaced with a brand new one no questions asked.. Thats the one thing i prefer over Ebay.. assurance!

We're not talking "a few bucks" here though. I bought 2 years of extended warranty for the car just from the money I saved getting my RNS510 from eBay and DIY (Mk6 Golf).

The feeling of getting them to fix your car for free under warranty is great though
I don't actually think I'll be getting $1900 worth of free stuff though (price of 2 year genuine VW extended warranty) - unless the gearbox dies

Ouch...

And the feeling of getting a car that doesn't even need fixing is even better again.

Has anyone had a tow bar fitted in Australia yet? I found out that there is apparently a tow bar available with a 50mm hitch receiver. The part number is VGA803921G713.

Im curious what it looks like fitted and if they need to hack away at the bumper to fit it?

From what I've heard there are none in the country. Earliest they'll get here is first week of August.

Has anyone gone for the bi xenons? I'd be interested to hear about those too.

I have the bi-xenons. Lots of light , but can be a challenge to the cars you are following if the terrain is up and down (followed the wife home the other night). Love the way they turn into corners too. I'd get them in a flash if you drive regularly on unlit roads, but not sure about the cost for city driving. Oh, and the led DRLs are nice too - sort of completes the look at the front.

They look pretty sweet. Are they the same as the brochure or do we get an alternative in oz?

Same as the aus brochure. Both lights have the "U" surround, but only the outer ones are lit by the DRLs

They are really nice. I just couldn't stretch my budget that far. IMO, they should be standard on the highline models.
