Golf R Observations and Questions

[stephen8512]

Look into the "how to track your car" thread for questions on tracking

And no, the "lights and vision" package is no Xenons. It's standard on R and much of the Golf line....
"Rear View Camera (RVC) WDD" should be pretty obvious in the list (it's written exactly that way). On my NADCON list is was below the first 'screenshot' and it needed a 2nd screenshot to be viewed....

found it it was on top of the 2nd page! haha thanks mate!

so what is "lights and vision?"

[Mr_Bob]

i wonder if it relates to the black headlight surrounds?

[stephen8512]

this might sound like a stupid quesiton but is the VIN number the same as the Vehicle ID? i tried to put that into the CARGO ID on that tracking website and it says no results fouund? I tried the chassis number too and it said the same thing? "no entry found"

It won't appear there until it's actually on the ship (or even a few days later).

How could it relate to the black headlight surrounds if it's standard on most of the Golf range?

Anyway...
PLA - Light and Vision package (includes 8K3, 8N3 and 4L6)

8K3 - Automatic driving light control with ‘leaving home’ function and manual ‘coming home’ function
8N3 - Rain sensor
4L6 - Automatically dimming rear view mirror

3) On the production ID/Planned productin week, it says WEEK 36....would anyone know what month that production week fell in?

According to my dealer week 37 is w/c 12/09/2010 which means we are currently in week 36.

i think he may have been referring to the fact that the xenon housing is black/black with the 19's rather than black/chrome when u get them with the stock 18's

[poloplayer]

The black headlight surrounds come with both Black and Silver 19's.

Would this car be a special order, it seems to come with 19s by they're silver headlight surrounds

Probably been swapped... someone quoted here a while ago about a car shipped with black lights but only 18s on it (was a demo or something), there was something on the order form about it originally having 19s.... perhaps this was the one it got switched to?

I know what he is referring to, but my comment was still correct. How could an option code which is also present on the Comfortline, GTI and GTD, none of which have the black headlight surrounds, be in relation to the black headlight surrounds? (hell, the Comfortline doesn't even have the option of Xenons, and the GTI/GTD Xenons are only optional),

Not a special order... there literally is not a code to separate the 19" wheels and the headlight choice (which my previous posts about the Lights and Vision package should have alluded to... if there WAS a separate code for the headlight colour, I would have just posted that to stop having to repeat myself so many times....).

As Pepe has said, the wheels would have just been swapped. There was possibly a customer who said that he wanted the car which was already in stock and had 18" wheels, but wanted the 19" wheels, and so the dealer just swapped them...

... it's happened a few times already
