Getting my GTI 9am tomorrow
« on: 29 August 2008, 11:30 »
Well after a year or R32 ownership, 4 months of GT TDI ownership I needed the character back again so picking up my GTI tomorrow morning. I am very excited to say the least and look forward to ownership especially to see how it compares to the MK5 R32. If any of you have tips for how to keep the black clean let me know  :laugh:

Heading straight from the dealer tomorrow to get my RNS510 installed again. Not had it since selling the GT TDI and I miss it! Ill be so glad to have xenon lights again too. Going from having them on the R to not on the TDI was a nightmare. Its amazing the difference they make.

Ill post some pics as soon as I can.  :smiley:

Excellent mate. I love my GTI to bits.

Remember to do all the checks - I was so overwhelmed by the car, I didn't notice one alloy was slightly different shade to the others (it's not particularly noticeable and I plan to do something to do them in future). Also missed the fact that I was missing a dustcap remover but strangely not the bottle opener!

Yes I have already been in touch with my remap contact and its being done ASAP  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:. (EDIT:  just had a call back - being done on Tuesday!)

As for the RNS - i bought it off ebay - had no problems at all with it. It is being fitted professionally at my local in-car entertainment dealer along with my parrott CK3100. I have used them for years so trust them to work with my cars.

Thanks for the tips stealth. She just had 2 alloys replaced under warranty. I belive they had the Monza II worming issue. I used to work for VW so I have had a good look at her and all seems very well. Work really dragging today!!!  :undecided:

Strangely enough, I managed to stay calm (for two weeks!) up until a friend picked me up to go to the dealers. Then on the journey there, my heart started palpitating and the instant I saw a black Golf with a red stripe on the forecourt, I knew it was my car despite there being two other black GTIs there!

Take a camera with you - that's the one thing I wish I had done because, although it was raining, I took some pics with my K800i and it doesn't do it justice.
