My GTI spent two days with the local dealer having the nearside headlight replaced, on account of the headlight only working when it felt like it. I dread to think what it would have cost had it not been under warranty. I had a Polo as a courtesy car, and it just kept reminding me how good the GTI is.
Anyway, it's back now. I asked for a VW Connect plug as well, which they gave me FOC, so I have that to play with. I had intended to go for a drive this morning to try it out, but as soon as I left home the rain started, so I just did a 20-mile loop around part of the New Forest (blanket 40mph speed limit to protect the dozy wildlife and even dozier cyclists), so although I can confirm that it works, I want to try it on some proper roads.
The car is now filthy, and I can't clean it as I have a rather painful right shoulder. FML.
