The Official "I have ordered/received my new MK7 Golf" Thread

I told them at the dealership it was cleaner now than when I picked it up.

Might be time to update the signature....

It has been a while mate! I would definitely believe your Mk6 is cleaner and in every bit as good condition as on delivery. Any mod plans for the Mk7? I'm less of a fan of the R LEDs on the 7, I must say, and they seem to be a bit more expensive as a replacement part as well. I wonder if Andreas is still around...

im thinking about signing up for a new dsg R. anyone know if the 2.8% finance deal they have on for the rest of the month includes the R?

vw website doesnt list it for this offer.

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.

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, i thought the same, probably being paranoid.

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?
