Yeah, but you just leave them floundering in your wake when the lights change!  :smug:

Erm, that is quite a sensible "anti-car-jack" function.  The first press unlocks just the drivers door, and the second unlocks the boot and the remaining doors.  If you don't like it that way, you can go back to the single push to unlock all, via the highline 'puter, a mate with VAG-COM, or a trip to the stealer.

and having to hold the lock button to put up the windows, ( im sorry but if your gonna lock the car your not gonna want to leave the windows open are u, it should do it automatically) :laugh:

Why?  If I'm parked on a secure car park on a hot sunny day, or if someone has left a pet in the car, it is perfectly reasonable to leave the windows open.  You simply release your "hold" on the button when they have reached a desired opening.  :nerd:

I just thought of something that annoys me.... the way you have to 'park' the wipers before you can lift them away from the windscreen - already scratched the bonnet when I accidently hit the wiper stalk when I was cleaning  :angry:

And another thing, the wobbly headlamp washer jet that I keep catching when washing - think thats a warranty issue on the first service though..

We GTI owners are SO particular!!  :smiley:

Where I work we have had a couple of attempted car jackings. Usually they nudge your rear bumper at the lights and then ask you to take a look at the damage. Both times it failed and one guy even turned around and chased the guy onto the pavement in his car :shocked:
