good news everyone, my dealer confirms my gti is on a boat that has just left Emden today for Grimsby and should be with them this week, hopefully this time next week I will be arranging to pick up my new pride and joy with its dodgy wipers, squeaky suspension, unopenable fuel caps lol cant wait. Have we all made our list of things to check before pick up?

Here is mine:

•   Fuel filler cap springing open
•   Squeaking knocking noises
•   Wipers drivers side smearing
•   Paint treatment, done right no swirl marks
•   Wastegate clip
•   Panels angling and matching up
•   Alloys checked
•   Check ACC (options in menu for dampers)
•   Check PP (vented discs on rear)
•   Keyless entry
•   Tyre depth
•   Any Dints
•   Chocks or blocks used for transport removed.


Please add to it if you think ive missed anything!

thats todays ship (mine hopefully) set to sail. Your dealer could be wrong you know, there must be more than just mine on that boat.

I'll have another look to see when Grimsby are next expecting something from Emden
