Getting an English GTI Manual
« on: 02 October 2009, 22:00 »
Hi guys,

Am wondering whether anyone can help me in securing a set of GTI english manuals. I have been told by my stealer in the Netherlands that they cannot get me the english version. I cant read Dutch so the one that is supplied with the car is mostly useless to me.

I will gladly pay for postage and effort...  :smiley:

Have you tried calling either UK or German Customer Services?

You should be able to order it from your local VW dealer, even though you did not place the order with them

Hi, when I ordered the car, I did order the english manuals with it. But somehow... my dealer here is unable to get the manual in english. On Monday, I will call Wolfsburg and see how we can solve this.

Thanks for the inputs..

don't worry, no one reads the manual anyway... they post up in this forum instead!!

Your dealer is a lazy f**k, he just does not want to bother because you did not buy your GTI with him

Agreed. Doesn't the manual have a p/n which would mean he can order it?

Does it matter whether it's a left hooker manual or a Queen's highway side manual? If you can put up with an RHD manual I'll give my local stealer a shout and see what they can do, but I know of a guy on another forum who just may be able to source one in LHD assuming you can get those in Euro spec in English language. In fact he has his own ebay shop so you could in theory contact him directly, dsgwagen is his ebay i.d.

Thanks and cheers, mate!
