Mk5 Golf/Jetta Problem Registry

[GermanwithaVdub]

Also, can anyone shed more light on what "options" (mirror dip etc) are possible to be enabled? Is it only on GTI or on any MkV?

ey there welcome to the forum

what does FOC mean?

as for the options, there seems to be a degree of confusion about what is possible and what is not. i cant enable it on my gt through the menus, but it could be possible for the dealer to activate it. see this thread about the mirror dipping http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/newf...ad.php?t=6544& even though it doesnt really help much best just ask the service place. enjoy your stay here!

Cool, thanks for the welcome too.

FOC = Free of Charge. Sorry 'bout that.

n:Well
Another thing happened the other day when paint of the tip of the power window switch got stuck to my finger.
Now drivers side power window switch is showing a little white line.

Is it covered by warranty?

i took my car in this morning for VW to look at, and they replaced a connector under the driver's seat... this was done without an appointment, on nye day. that is service.

well done highway VW (bris)!

The starter motor on my 07, 2.0 Tdi stopped working 2 weeks ago, was replaced in one day all under warrenty.

I just noticed the seatbelt mover for the passenger front seat not working so it'll be back to VW for warranty repair. i dont htink it's ever been moved, hence why it's taken me two and a half years to notice!

you make a good point. arent there places out there that will do an "almost out of warranty check to see what needs replacement" check?
