I still love the car though, just hope we didn't get a lemon. Touch wooood
We need new lemon laws in Australia. We are so behind in our legislations. What are the freaking politicians doing these days....

Its hard to know (for both your questions, really). There are so many things that can go wrong on these types of cars, it would be a miracle if you went through ownership without anything playing up. I've found with computers they either play up immediately (ie design or manufacturing fault), or never.
Chin up, its just a warning light (after all, Qantas has problems with hundreds of them...).

haha Qantas??? Thats quite discomforting. Yeah I think it will probably be just a computer issue. As the brakes seem to work fine. But I did notice a difference in my car when compared to the one I test drove. The brakes are much less sensitive on mine. Could it be that the fluids are lower?
I have to drive to the airport tonight so hopefully will be ok.
Seems like Europeans make their cars too complicated for themselves. But I love the techiness of them as I am in IT. Geeek!!
Ok guys,
Just picked the car back up from the dealer. One of the 2 Vacuum hoses on the manifold fell off so it was sucking in air. All good now :)
Awesome. Looks great mate. Hope it lives up to your expectations and ours. :)
Cheers,

Nice new baby, remember to give her tough love for the first few hundred K.
I just wanted to say that the Mk 6 is an awesome little car! I had one for 2 days while my car was in for servicing and I almost regret not waiting and buying one. I had the 2.0TDI and it drives like an absolute dream, no turbo lag which is great and the refinement and quality of the car itself amazed me.. Even though it is kind of like a Mk5.5, the styling and performance is definitely a step up from the Mk5. Also loved the new style MFD incorporating digital speed readout and cruise control settings (but the screen could be a little bigger).
Compared to the Mk6, my Jetta feels like a boat!
hey maca, what did you get ??
