I've done over 6K in just 3 months so would like someone to have a look over it for me.

I'm at East Brisbane area.

Thanks in advanced.

Can also try Jmac from this forum. He's brilliant and he comes to you (I think he's still doing mobile).

To be honest I don't notice the driver assist sensor at all. I even had to go back to the car to see if it was actually there. Anyway, the gti is very pretty for such a beast and could do with a bit of ugly! Having said that it is a little surprising that VW didn't do something more elegant with it given how smart they were incorporating the rear camera into the badge. Maybe other options would have compromised it's effectiveness so as long as it works I'm happy.

I saw my first new GTI on the road this morning (haven't seen one on the road yet, only at the dealer).
It was white with tinted windows and was on city link driving into the city. Did look awesome!

so guys I have my vin for my new Gti, my car was a week 5 build, day two. By the end of the next week I had the vin, this was last Friday.

My eta is May. Been trying to track the car but it not showing up yet. Did not trust the dealer so I paid up and got access to Erwin, looks like it is built as it showed up, looks like the My14 still does not come with voice control... Cheap VW very Cheap...

So can other people give me a idea of how long it can take to show up on tracking ....your past experience may help me calm down ... I am just excited...

Once your car is on a ship it takes a few days to show up on the W&W track and trace.

I know how feel about being excited. I've got 3-4 wks before delivery. My friendly dealer has given me a new TDI Passat to drive around in till delivery. That's helping with the wait

Wow, you must have a very nice sales person/dealership giving you a loan car.

Wonder if I can ask for a loaner, my delivery isn't expected to be until Sept/Oct (placed an order on an Audi S3 Sedan over the weekend) - I'm betting on no chance, lol.
