Hi Guys

Just picked up my carbon steel grey DSG mk7 today. located in Malaga, Perth WA. Glad to join the family and hope to know more of you, even better if anyone happens to be in Perth as well.

Sorry for asking help on day one, but anyone has any idea why my car with only 13km comes out with some kind of burning smell in the cabinet while i drove home from the dealership? anything i need to worry about?

hi
new cars have certain smells for a while - probably nothing to worry about.

[lcy2004vip]

thanks, i thought the same, probably being paranoid.

Hi lcy2004vip,
welcome to the forum. Our Golf 7 110tsi, had the same burning smell for the first couple of weeks. The dealer said its a new car smell. Could be wearing in of the brakes. Its all go after a few weeks. However, if it is concerning you then there is no harm to let your dealer to check it out.

thanks for your comfort, i will see if it drives off in couple weeks. i suspect it was the new car smell, but i had few new cars before, none of them has the burning smell like this, maybe due to the new turbo?

[Why?]

Well I ordered the Golf Alltrack today, but through a different dealer that I had been dealing with. I was given a quote in writing but happened to leave it at home when I went to the dealer. The salesman I was dealing with was away interstate but I had spoken to him and he said to see the sales manager as he would take care of it. The quoted price was on there system but I was told that none of the car details were. I told him as is on my quote White Alltrack with sports luxury package and towbar with wiring. They then tell me that there was no way they would have quoted that figure and I was wrong, that they could do it without the towbar for that price and thats what they must of quoted. I said I have a quote in writing with it all listed its either in my car or at home as I had scribbled some note on the back of it. I looked in my car and it was not there, went back into the dealer and said if I have to go home and get it I'm not coming back. I walked out the dealership made a phone call to another dealership explained the situation they said they would do the deal but they would need to get a car from VW as they did not have one in stock it would be about 7 days. I proceeded to Kevin Dennis VW and paid my deposit and am expecting the car next week. We I got home n the kitchen bench was the said quote on letterhead listing Alltrack sports luxury pack with towbar and wiring. It has now been filed in the round file. New family truckster here we come.
