Nice one CRAGGLE, a rare version of a common mk7 colour!
Tell us more about the spec and more importantly PICS!!!!

Don't worry about duplicate questions, have a search then ask away as it's surprising how much information gets quickly buried in the forum and it's surprising how much everyone forgets about their car with features they don't use very often.
For instance the last car I drove with a cruise control was a dealer loan car which was completely different to the mk7 so when I encountered a 50mph temporary limit the other day I had to pull over and read the manual to remind me of how to set it, and it's pretty darn simple once you remember! A real "D'oh!" moment!

At least the crappy weather means you'll be taking it easy while you run the car in and it'l certainly give the diff a workout.
