Title: Ash tray????
Post by: JellyCat on 30 March 2010, 23:43
Weird one - got the car today which is fantastic but........
It's come with an ash tray and lighter is this standard or a no cost option? What does everyone else have?
On the mk5 I had a 12v port and a nice rubber based tray - perfect for spare change for parking etc! Can I get the ash tray etc swapped out by the dealer?

I think mine has a fag  :shocked: lighter and definately has a proper ash tray.
Otherwise mine came as pretty much poverty spec.

It's a bit pants as don't smoke and now have lost a useful storage bin and have an ash tray with a sharp fag end holder thing that a pain if you try to get change out of it (wife's car and she uses it for change for parking etc). Don't think it's easy to replace by the dealer ah well if that's all that's wrong in terms of the car then not too bad!).

Keep your car park change in the slidy cover thing (technical term) that has a bottle opener in it.
The ashtray cover looks more tidy than a gaping hole in front of the gearstick.

I think it was a case of wife was scratching hands on the metal fag holder in the ash tray.  Was an easy one to fix advised her to use the other cubby hole \ draw on the lower right of the steering wheel – thus problem solved.

Dealer was really good and offered to look into getting it swapped out if I wished - told them not to worry as was having way too much fun in driving the car and didn’t want to take it back even for an hour! :laugh:

I don't think the Golf had another option strangely enough.
I remember when speccing mine I had to have the smoking pack whether I wanted it not.
As a non smoker I wanted something else but nothing else was available!!

You had the option of non smokers pack in the mk5 but i don't think its an option on the mk6 in the uk.

ah cool, I see now. Think it was a case of the Mk5 not having one and Mk6 having one caught us out.
No worries. Don't need to use the power to charge iphone anymore now that have the iphone cable :smiley: -that is when I can borrow the car from the wife.

Dam! I want to bin the dullish car I've got and get another mk6 gti but for me - it's not fair the wife having all this fun with her new toy when I want a go..... ok that didn't sound right!    :laugh:
