this is ok if all works, my localish vw garage serviced my mk5 for sevral years they were than sold on. so when booking the next time i asked what she was due to have and they had no clue as the previous wasn't given to them they said. true or couldn't be bothered to look i don't know... but imho i'd prefer the booklet myself as having a hard copy for peace of mind etc , and i'll purchase one if need be. :)

So long as you have all your invoices they can see what has been done and when. I always prefer to see invoices as a service book is just ticks, an invoice will note any issues needing attention too, very useful when you are buying (maybe not so much on here as most buy new).
2019 Oryx White 5dr TCR.

Was - 2015 Tornado Red 3dr GTI PP, manual, Santiagos, Audi short shifter.

Do VW not have the same system as Audi? A fair few years back when my wife changed her S4 cab for a 911 the dealer noticed that the first was missing from the service book so he rang Audi and they emailed him a copy of everything including warranty work that was done to the car over its 3 years.

You sure about that when did MY 18 start. Surely not until Sep/Oct on?

Build weeks for model spec changes are usually weeks 22 and 45. Week 22 is usually the when the build of next year's models commence, so around the end of May for MY18 vehicles.

You know I would have thought that this year MY changed with facelift. So earlier than usual? there are several references to F/L as MY18, no matter I'm well happy to have a service book with mine.

MY17/18 is different to facelift... some other bits and bobs that changed between the two.
