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

To be fair that listing does mention the fact that they are plastic twice, once in the heading and once in the description. IMO you are better off with plastic anyway, it will stink a lot less and also probably be more robust. I've had some real rubber mats that had to be left out in all weather for weeks to reduce the smell to a tolerable level.

sorry I should have said - i got mine from the VW dealer, at the time I wasn't told it was plastic.

Thank you gregozedobe,

I wondered why my genuine Subaru rubber floor matts smelt. I have had them airing out for all this week. I spelt some mower fuel on the rear one and the wife could smell it even though I had cleaned it a number of times!

Back to R Wagon I have rubber floor mats and a rear 'es cargo' plastic mat. Happy to have one in mine, so far so good.

Cheers Al

Thanks roh008,
Ebay will get a good search for sill protectors like them. I would prefer they were stepped to cover the sill drop as well!

QUOTE What did the VW Care Service Plan offer? Is it not capped price servicing for the first 5 years anyways? My dealer said if I service it within their VW group showroom then they will keep rolling over the 12 month road side assist.QUOTE

Different from capped. What VW offer is prepaid 3 and 5 year Care Service Plans. You pay in advance and lock in the price at todays value and the average cost is lower.

I selected the 5 year Care Service Plan and it cost me $2,350. VW dealership will keep rolling over the 12 month road side assist too.

That's $470 per year. All inclusive, apart from Pollen Filter and DSG oils. Tires and brake pads excluded too Lol

Cheers Al

ah - that clears it up. Apparently i'll get to choose up until my first service is due, so I'll think about it.

Hi - I'm sniffing around for a Demo MY19 GTI. Wondering what other's have been paying to secure their new MY19 ride?
