So my GTI is sitting at the dealership, anyone know what a “drivers pack” is? Apparently VW are waiting for it too turn up before doing the pdi. The guy I spoke to didn’t know what it was. 😂

That makes sense thanks, just heard from the dealership that they are delivering it on 30/03. Earliest they could do as all the car transporters are fully booked till then.

We’re not required to have a car safety pack in the UK.

@Ubique I’d be curious enough to ask the dealer what the driver’s pack is, especially if it’s held up your car having its PDI and you being able to take delivery.

Hi, apparently it was mats and stuff. The delay on my receiving the car is down to VW saying the first transportation they can get to move car (from Edinburgh to Essex) is on 30/03.

Why on earth have they delivered it to Edinburgh?!!

For Essex I'd have thought it would have come into Sheerness or Grimsby!

I ordered the car through a friends company that’s based in Edinburgh, he has a contact at a local VW dealership who has arranged a really good lease deal on it. It’s worth a bit of a wait for the monthly savings. 👍
