Is the shelf holding the manual in the glovebox hidden or should I have been able to see it on opening the glovebox? I just had a quick look in the dark and the glovebox looked empty.




If the manual is there you should easily see it at the top of the open glove box.

When I first viewed the GTI that I bought, I was certain that the manual was missing, because I didn't notice it sitting on its little shelf at the top of the glove compartment.  You might have missed it if you just had a quick look in the dark.  If it really is missing, you can sometimes buy these owner manual packs on ebay.  I was never able to find any downloadable/pdf versions.

The folding mirrors are part of the Lux Pack.
The convenience pack is somet else I believe.

Yup I did have the manual in the shelf at the top. Because it is black and at the top I didn't spot it the first time. :)

I picked up my first GTI today and am very happy with it so far. I had thought the spec included folding mirrors but can't see a button to fold them. There's a joystick for adjusting them and heating them, but how do you fold them?

Also, I've not got a manual, do dealers not include them on used cars generally? Anywhere I can get one, downloadable preferably.

I found my folding mirrors by accident. The joy stick can be rotated. At 6 o clock, the mirrors are isolated, at 4 o clock, both mirrors are adjsuted, at 8 o clock only the passenger side is adjusted, at 12 o clock, the mirrors are folded. (This is on a 05 reg model)

The convenience pack seems to include some "puddle" lights in the door mirrors.

''Puddle'' lights in the door mirrors? :huh:

When you open the door, a little light on the underside of the door mirror comes on and illuminates the ground so you can see oif there are any puddles.
