On subject of PDI did provide some feedback as they obviously tested the passenger air bag disabling which is important to do, but never turned it back on!

Noticed immediately as very used to the lights in the MK 7 and the warning light remained on instead of going out after a set period and went to passenger side and turned on with the key.

But in essence they delivered a car without an air bag functioning

I wonder if this is intentional/guidance they have been given as I had exactly the same with mine!

Did they respond to you on this?

Got a sorry and thanks for the feedback with promise it will be relayed to the garage responsible - Could have pursued it more but with likely no more response than already received just put it down to an oversight

However thats pretty worrying that you state the same, so maybe the TCR is arriving on shore like that and the PDI is not picking it up? and other TCR owners experience passenger air bag deactivated on delivery?

Cars with electric mirrors have done that since the dawn of time. It's so that when another driver gets in and alters the seat, the mirrors can be adjusted in one go. Set the right mirror, then adjust the left afterwards to get them how you want them.

Or you can change the settings for single mirror adjustment. It's all in the handbook.

f**k me, what sort of times we're living in when people are too lazy to check the manual, but quite happy to post on forums and get someone else to just spoon-feed them the answer.

If you don’t want to contribute or help you don’t have to.
You can learn a lot from other people’s experience on these forums. I have benefitted from members help with various things I have had difficulty with. Modern cars s can be pretty complex, the options confusing and the dealer support poor.
Good to see the OP got it sorted.

Had to do the same on my TCR, thought it was me until realised had to set up the kerb view - imagine its done in PDI usually hence why it usually just works when you receive.

Mine was the same.  Although being my first Golf, I didn’t notice for two months!
