At least France dropped the requirement to carry a breathalyser in every car....

This is nearly right... The requirement to carry a breathalyser is still in force; however, there is no enforcement i.e. the French Police/Gendarme cannot fine you for not carrying one. Quite what that means is unclear so I carry some when I go...

As for the triangle, it's written as a standard equipment in every VW in the brochures in here. I think it is standard in every German car (except Opels...)

A warning about warning triangles :smiley:.. I purchased the VW safety kit and the triangle in it doesn't fit into the slot on the boot lid. It's too fat. Anyone found one that does?

Does anyone have the correct part number for the triangle that fits inside the aperture in the boot lid. Just ordered one from my dealer but when it arrived, the red plastic case is far too big to fit in the recess ?

Thanks.

Thanks.

We ordered in about three in the end to find the one that actually fitted.

So this one definitely fits in the pocket in the boot? That's a B8 Audi A4 Part number.
