The official I have ordered/received my new MKVI thread

Many congrats, vagman! I am picking up my new golf this Wednesday.

BUT!!!!!!!! my polo which I will trade-in when I pick up my golf has broken down!!!! How unlucky is that. I am not a mechanic and know nothing about moving parts of cars other than steering-wheel, signal indicators, and window buttons, it seems like coils need to be replaced - my car shakes violently and misfiring (replaced one of the coils not long ago though....). Doh!

I feel your pain....my Calais has broken down again, for the 3rd time since Friday and I need to spend $350+ to keep it going :-( Hurry up Asian Dynasty!!!

can anyone tell me where can i fit on the RNS 510?
Preston VW will charge $280
South Yarra will charge $420

they are too expensive, does anyone has someone recommand?

thank you

Hello boys and girls, I've finally got my Golf last Friday!! Simply put: I love it!! The dealer was sorry for the delays (a total of 6 delays :duh:) so they threw in a set of carpets for free, too! It's a white 90TSI so the power is nothing to write home about but the build quality is superb :D. Handles greatly and everything in the car just clicks so well with each other. I'm looking forward to driving it everyday haha:banana:.

Quick question: Do you guys know how to fold the side mirrors in? Or do I need to push them in myself? Also, what are the dangling straps (at the left of the trunk space) for?

Thanks, gv-dub. Good news is that the dealer helped me wave the labour and will charge me the cost price for 3 coils - it isn't still cheap though ($292).

Hi Redman,

Had a chance yet to grab some pics of the front bracket?

Cheers!

You need to push them in yourself. The electrical fold-in mirrors is only available in some overseas markets.
