Golf R Observations and Questions

[Candyman]

1. Sounds like a simple clerical error
2. Never noticed it myself

Regarding paperwork errors

I found out 3 years after buying my Forester that the dealer had sent through the wrong VIN for rego

Out by one digit

Effectively no rego or insurance for the 3 years I owned it

Only found out when it came time to sell it and I couldn't

Took a week to sort.

Sometimes there's definitely a performance boost when I fill up, however it doesn't always feel sluggish in the red zone (think I'm just about in it now and it was zippier than normal tonight, car being lighter and all I suppose).

Got to be something in it, SF couldn't be off his rocker, could he?

Might just be fuel going 'stale' and losing some of its potency (if that's possible).SF must be driving too eco.

Silly me, I thought it was the RB colored glasses!

meh.. could be just me.. I just found it to be a little laggy at the low end.. I refill and it isn't there anymore..

Could be the tune.. such a high quality finely developed product potentially senses the availability of high octane fuel Guess those cheap nasty internet tunes don't care

Firstly I recieved a letter today from VW today explaining they had deregistered my Warranty protection because they have no record of my numberplate ( which I have changed for Euro plates ) having been serviced in the required time as per the warranty compliance. I have had it serviced at VW but not the one the dealer recommends but one that is closer and with different plates.. anyone else had this issue.. I am off to the dealer tomorrow with said service manual and letter to understand what exactly they have done

Secondly I may be off my rocker but more often than not I get the sense once you petrol level drops into the red the car performance is affected.. I find I fill up again and a return to normal progamming occurs. It is nothing dramatic but I just sense it goes into an econo mode

Anyone else feel this..?

As to point 1, my car car has never seen the inside of a dealer so it looks like I might receive a similar letter soon since the car is now over 12 months old (but is fully serviced by an independent, to a higher std IMO). I think i will probably file it away and hope I never have a warranty issue and if I do sort it out then.
