Taking Delivery
« on: 14 December 2010, 21:47 »
Hello All

Sincere apologies if this is in the wrong place.

I have decided to purchase a VW for the first time and seeking some advice. I am having it delivered to me, is there anything specific that I should be looking out for?

Do these cars still require break in?? if so what period and how have people driven theirs

Depending on the method delivery - Damage i.e. they drive it to you (stone chips), or they put it on the back of a lorry or something (dents).  They do still claim in the manual that they need running in.

I would collect if I were you if its not that far.

Brand new vehicle - check fluid levels, as I found out that they are filled only to a minimum !

Ask if it's had a pre delivery inspection before it comes to you? What car is it?  :undecided:

Tiguan quicker than the Golf

The car is undergoing a PDI as I have been notified by the dealer.

Check the paint for orange peel, notorious for crap paintwork!
