Got to fit the spare tyre  :rolleyes:





Whatever you do, watch the tyre fitter like a hawk - they seem to have an annoying habit of using the wheel (on the fitting machine) as a table to look at the puncture. They did it to mine and scratched the front of the wheel quite badly.

Hopefully thats repairable - tyre looks pretty new....

If its a Bridgestone.... perfect excuse to bin it!

It's a Conti - repaired today for £20 :)

Got my car back last night after being back with the dealer again to fit a towbar (removable - invisible with new diffuser)..
I had a scirocco loaner, it made me appreciate my GTD even more.. The scirocco is nimble - but it was the 1.4 tsi, the turbo on it supplies the power very randomly - 1st and 2nd gear are very on and off making it pretty unpleasant to drive..

After a wash last night (it was covered in dust from the workshop it'd been sitting in for 2 days), I took my GTD for a spin - it really seems to have opened up a bit more.. 600 miles on the clock and it's definitely got more bite. I've to drive down to Dublin later tonight, am really looking forward to it :)
any pictures please?

do people realise you get free puncture repairs from vw dealers or is this just my dealership up here?

I know the manager at the local Kwik Fit and he did it personally this morning just to make sure  :cool:

Might just be a "Pulman club" perk.
