If you can save 4-5k off recommended price then you've done pretty well.

Hi

Asking on behalf of a friend.

They bought some OEM Golf R LED tail lights off a wrecked Golf R. His car is just a base GTi.

With the LED lights be plug and play? Or will they need a conversion lead?

I'm inclined to believe that a lead will be required. But not 100% sure.

They should be plug and play. Quite easy to install Google Deutsche auto parts YouTube video on how to install the lights. Try it ! If they work happy days if not, it may need a cable and or VCD tweak but I am pretty sure it's plug and play!

Coming up to the 1st year service.

VW charge $390.

Ultratune $320.

Much closer than Polo GTI service costs.

Might just stick with VW for the first 3 years, & then go to Ultratune.....

I wouldnt let Ultratune touch my new car...you are in Melb and there are so many Euro specialist mechanics with good feedback from forum members.

[Ralfi]

Never considered one of the Euro specialists.

Is there a thread with recommendations here?

Just looked for one in my area - Exceltune - Our Services

Might give them a call tomorrow.

Thanks.

Ultratune? What on Earth were you thinking, Ralfi?!

Lol. Guess I've been lucky for the 4 services I used them for the Polo GTI. They were a lot cheaper/convenient than dealers too.

Just called up Exceltune today & they quoted me $350-$400, so it'll be close to VW pricing.

Might call up a few others during the week. Any recommendations for N-W Melbourne?

Hi guys,

Hope you guys can shed some lights here..

My brother wanted to get a standard GTi and was quoted $45.5k driveaway with DSG and no option.

Is that a good price?

Thanks in advance!

Assume that's a current MY17 car?

It's not bad.. but there's definitely room to move that to $44k odd. Maybe less if it's a bad month.. or a good month and bonuses are in play.
