Just Purchased ED35 today,couple of Q's

[GS WAX]

Hi All,

 Finally... the wait is over,i found a 35 edition in Acceptable condition today and a deal was done,the dealer is sorting a couple of issues prior to delivery, however on my 2 1/2hr drive home the mind was working overtime about a couple of items that I forgot to ask about ,Im coming from a mk5 Edition 30 so don't know what a mk6 should have had when New.

1;  The leather look Handbook folder,Should it be  GTI or 35 Branded like the MK5 version ?

2:  Should there be a Tag with a number to get spare keys,again like my mk5,and only two keys and no blanks or small emergency ones?

3:  Do the folding mirrors only dip in reverse when the Knob is set to L, and can it be changed with vagcom?

4: Is it normal for the rear camera to make what best can be described as a "creaky" noise when operating?

Thanks in advance

The handbook in my 35 is just a regular VW golf one, I simply kept the one from my ed30 and swapped them over 

I just received 2 keys with mine, no emergency key tag etc but didnt with my ed30 either..

My mirrors only dip in reverse when set to L or R, I'd be interested to know whether it can be set in VCDS too tbh 

Can't help on the camera issue but I'd say it doesn't sound right do get them to look at it as my friends failed on his GTD

Congrats on the purchase. Hope you enjoy it!

Good choice !

My folder I think is a standard golf gti version , nothing 35 about it.

I received 2 keys, no other tags or anything.

You can set the door mirrors via the handbook instructions. It explains how to do it. I think you can position the switch in any position and the dip will still work. You can set the mirrors for different positions for each key if you have 2 drivers.

I have a rear camera and haven't noticed any noise that has caused me concern to take a closer look.

Enjoy it when you get it... Get some pics on ...

Thanks all for the helpful hints,

Good to know I have the correct booklet and no key tags, I like things to be how they are supposed to.

Sounds like I will contact dealer to get them to check the camera,my first thought was it sounded strange but salesman said its perfectly normal.

Im over the moon with it, Have been looking since June this specific color/door/gearbox configuration with no luck,looked at about 6 and was beginning to loose faith in VW as I couldn't find one that had decent panel fit and felt like an upgrade over the ED30.
 Took a bit of a compromise with mileage and owners( teen and two), but the spec is reasonable with Lux,Winter,NAV,Dynaudio,F&R Sensors + camera and Glendales,but most importantly the build and condition is spot on without any pre sale preparation.

I will retrofit cruise and tpms along with a bit of VCDS fettling and that should keep be occupied for a while after it has had a thorough cleaning.

Quick iphone pic from earlier today and my current steed,of which I cant make my mind up whether to part with or not.....
