Title: Do 2010 GTIs have normal handbooks? No leather?
Post by: Beardo on 14 August 2010, 11:46
Hi all - As the title really. Just picked up a March 2010 GTI and the handbook holder is a manky old Golf plastic leather one rather than GTI branded leather funky (funkier at least) one.

Is that right or has one of the service guys robbed it?

I asked the sales guy and he checked and said they are all like that now?

If it ever stops raining I will!

It has mud flaps on it actually and I wanted to hear the consensus of whether they make it look too fussy round the arches....

Oh I definitely need to see those pics.. Candy White GTD on order and I'm strongly considering some mudflaps so I'd really like to see what they look like on yours.

March 2010 was the change over point.
Mines early March build, mid March arrival at delaer, late March delivery and the dealer said it was the first they had, had with this manual type.

The older one was a ring binder type.

The new ones are like a paperback book.

The main GTI/GTD manual content is also slightly different to the older ring binder one.

The new pouch that holds the paperback books is a pouch rather than a folder and is leather look(maybe its leather) VW branded one.

Yes my GTD handbook pouch looks like leather but it doesn't smell of leather, probably synthetic. A nice feature is the storage shelf on top of the glovebox.   :wink:

Just went to check mine. It has a flap cover with an embossed VW logo. Whether it is leather I cannot say. Very cheap looking if it is. More like leatherette.

Yes you're right they' re a bit sloppy that way!! quick enough to take your money though. :rolleyes:  Still get that great feeling every time I get behind the wheel even though I've only done 5000+ miles.  It is a great car. :grin:

When you had the service pack what info did they give you?

When I picked mine up they gave me a sheet with my detail on and conditions sheet. Talking to other VW users they had the official documents through the post but they say it can tack 4 months for this to arrive.  :wink:

I got the documents when i picked up the car,they also sent out duplicate documents about a month later for some reason,mine is due its first service as its just over a year old now but still low mileage,i will have to ring them and arrange to get it done when i have time.

They needed the car for 2 hours, but were very good at giving me a lift in to Scarborough and then picking me up again when the car was ready.
