The official I have ordered/received my new MKVI thread

[runningmanz]

Hi Corey thanks for the info on the Erwin site. I have subscribed for an hr and checked my R. Everything seems to be in order except for the Xenon headlights. I can't seem to find any mention of them anywhere. Does anyone know if it actually lists them with Xenon in the wording or something else?

Actually I think I just found it. This line in the list of codes?


112 8Q5 L LWR Headlight-range adjustment, automatic/ dynamic with dynamic bending light (AFS 1)

Yeah - there is that. But more specifically there is also 8JX L HSW - Twin headlight for driving on the left (gas discharge) w/ integrated high beam

Cheers yeah that is there too. So far so good a few more weeks to go!

Haha your R might become a "special" limited edition model if it came without Xenons! I hope VW doesn't make mistakes on "standard" equipment!

Well its good to see something positive has arisen from the issue I faced. I didn't mean to open a can of worms, but it looks like since my post everyone seems to be checking their cars which is great. I'm really happy now with the outcome. After looking through a few photos I now love the Carbon Grey, and I now get a free sunroof. I am a huge believer in things happen for a reason. Biggest issue for me is the extra month wait. Oh well, I've waited this long, what's an extra month.

Great to hear.. I would have been p1ssed not getting exactly what I ordered.. but if you are happy that is indeed a bonus

Great. Happy for you too.

I can just imagine your initial reaction when they broke the bad news to you. Lot's of four letter words, I would think. And probably shorten your lifespan a little bit.

I dunno, if a grey car arrived instead of the Black, i'd wait for the correct one even if it took another 6 months. I'd always be thinkin' I compromised... Better man than me Gunga Din...
