I've told everybody at the dealers about this and forwarded all the pictures.

I am assured that they will all be taken out before I collect on Monday but I bet I've got it on a trolley jack to check myself on Monday night  :grin:

Result all round then bud  :smiley:

Do ride well don't they with everything removed from the suspension that should not be there  :grin:

Thanks Bud! The ride is sublime...  :cool:

@ Jimble... Just to confirm what Norbreck said. There should be three up front on each front strut and nothing on the rears... In my particular case they only found two 'pink' pucks on either struts, so they must have taken one out on each side during the PDI. (The larger yellow puck in the picture is the 'old' style transportation puck which was a lot easier to spot given to me by the dealer just for comparison sake)

I've got DCC as well and my pucks were also pink. Don't know whether this means that DCC cars get pink and none DCC get blue, or if its a GTI or GTD thing ?

I've just had my car up on the jack; right at the top under the rubber cover thingy is one white/cream disc (with no breaks in it) - is this normal??
