Perfect apart from....
« on: 01 September 2009, 20:53 »
So today I picked up my new GTI (I forgot how good that new car smell is  :smiley:).  Everything is fantastic apart from I noticed that I didnt have the Flat Tyre indicator which I spec'd and payed for.

I need to go to the dealers next week to drop off my old car V5 logbook and I will mention it then, but can this be retro fitted??  If not its not the end of the world.

Don't think it can be retrofitted, but for £35 may be worthwhile challeging your dealer and getting some goodies off them, worth twice as much.

best off luck..

Probably a daft question but I take it there is also no reset button in the glove box above the airbag key switch?

Just in case they have installed it but not physically connected it?

Not sure.  I will have a look in the morning.  Is the reset button not supposed to be near to the ESP/Parking sensors buttons?

No they moved it into the glovebox on the 2010 model.

Yep its there.  That saved an embarassing moan to the dealers.  Cheers

Not yet but hopefully when I get home from work later I will take a few, after I have had a little drive in it of course.

Probably not a big deal but it probably would have better saving yourself £35. I have it in mine and was driving around with 19" wheels on 21psi for about a week and the tyre indicator only gave a warning on the day I was about to put the std wheels back on. :embarassed:

A pointless piece of kit... unless your totally useless and cant tell if your tyres need more air :wink:
