Warning triangle missing?!
« on: 04 December 2012, 18:48 »
I've just bought a new Mk6 GTI and there is an empty bracket on the left hand side of the boot where it looks like the warning triangle should go. I contacted the dealer where I bought it and they told me that UK cars don't get one and so we're just left with an unsightly empty bracket!

Can anyone confirm that this is correct or should I have one?!

Download the VW catalogue from VW.co.UK and see if its listed in the current specifications I know it wasn't back in 2010 when I bought mine.
