New Passat 206TSI R-Line

[206Harvard]

Just checked ours again, $585 through Aust Post.
2 drivers only, both over 40 with max ncd preserved.
No windscreen cover though.
It cost me about the same to insure this car for twice the value of my previous Golf....go figure.

Why so much more for the 206TSI Passat over the 140TDI Highline with R-Line & Lux Pack? Market value.

Other factors increasing my premium include living in a high risk area, parking on the street at night, parking at a unsecured open car park at work during the day as well as the kilometers I travel to work each day (approximately 12,000 ks - 15,000 ks per annum).

Working in my favour are that I'm a Rating 1 driver with a sterling driving record.

The insurance quest continues ...

Suburb is a big factor. I live in West Perth. It's not a bad area but for some reason it's $500 more a year than the next suburb over. That's with Allianz.

My small looking altercation with a kangaroo ~ 20k worth of damage. So these cars are expensive to repair.

It is in the manual. From memory you use the trip reset button. Hold it for 3-5 secs and I think a menu will appear.

Does anyone know how to reset service reminder on 206. Not great at searching, but I did try!

It is in the manual somewhere. Hold the trip button in front of the steering wheel for 3-5 secs. A menu should appear.

Sticking with RACV Comprehensive Car Insurance after all. Better the devil you know and all that ....

Got the price down to $1,219 (with $750 excess) including hire car and windscreen options.

A more palatable price than the initial $1,247.31 (without options).

Not the cheapest, but not the most expensive either. Speaking to them over the phone several times helped bring the renewal price down.

Ordered new 206 white sedan with sunroof today. It's in stock & I collect it on Tuesday.
Shannons insurance on $600 excess, adding it to our policy that already has 2 cars with them) = $663 inc glass cover & hire car.

Time to head back to Shannons I think. Haven't used them since I gave away car clubs, sports cars and racetracks.

Hi guys, picked up my first VW a week ago.........206TSI black wagon with sunroof. Brilliant car (as you'd know), still discovering all the features and enjoying the sweet ride. This thread helped me decide on the 206 so thanks for your help!

Did you copy?! It's a great colour!

VW wouldn't offer any special order colours this time around so I agonised for ages over the very limited palette (5 shades of grey from white to black and 2 metallic blues).

Very happy with the Tungsten in the end. I agree it's a great colour that suits the shape nicely - tones down the chrome and R-Line body kit well.

Mind you, if I could have got the Polo's Cornflour Blue it would have been a different story

In the persoalise menu under car settings. Manualy either code both the keys to one driver profile or to set them to different profiles. If you change keys then it will move the searea to whomever the profile is assigned too. There is also a lazy exit function you can add using vcds. It's fully moves the seat back when the vehicle stops.

I hope this helps.

Thanks , yes mine must have the lazy exit enabled a it does that each time which I think is causing it.
I only ever use one key as I am the only driver so have reset both seat positions to the same but it still loses the return position after after coming back from lazy exit mode.
I think moving the seat backwards and forwards enables some creep in the memory or whatever mechanical function returns it to where it thinks it last was.
Oh well just have to keep fixing every couple of days.
