I always have the same problem even when I had the Yeti - park away from other cars and, sure enough, when I come back there will be at least one car next to me despite the car park being near empty.

Happens all the time. I usually park on the end as close as possible the pavement only to have a car park right on top of me! Bad driver and parking spaces too small.

Got my prets Done in Adelaide 1000 bucks but they are a fully respray retires off etc, I have had three sets of wheels repsprayed in the last 3 months from auto repairs that only do Audi/vw ... don’t do a small crash repairer.. I had rails done they sprayed only top of rails

Yes, they forgot the bloody Wolfsburg badge!! I'm devastated!!! So apparently they have "sent an email to Germany" and they will send it over. They said they have no idea how long it would take! It's crazy how much that small little badge means to me. But it's the cherry on top of the cake. Without it, it feels lacking.

Other than that, first drive was great. Race mode is on another whole new level.

The 7 month wait was worth it!

EDIT: By the way, the car is MY18.5 confirmed! Traffic Jam Assist, Emergency Assist and Active Lane Guidance are all on the package. Stoked!!! The storage compartment under the passenger seat is also deleted as per the changes made to the 18.5. Sad to see it go, but not really necessary because there's so much storage anyway.

Why would you paint your tyres ?
I can understand painting the wheels, but $200 tyre painting is seriously sub-optimal.

Congrats!

Does TJA show up in any of the menus? Did they get rid of the ESP/TSC button to the left of the shifter as well?

Well that's a bugger ! But don't expect too much as a result of the "email to Germany".

It seems these particular Wolfsburg badges are made by a small business in Melbourne especially for VW Australia, so I doubt that ze Germans will know anything about them.

Tell your dealer to contact VW Oz instead. The genuine article is available as a (very expensive) spare part, I have one. But actually I prefer the look of the aftermarket version with the black background, silver castle and red dog.

Regardless, enjoy your Wolfie

Congrats Storm Trooper!
My dealer has also confirmed TJA will be on my 18.5 Wolf arriving End of Feb/March.
TJA will be available on all cars built after production week 45 and mine should be from 50.

There's plenty of cheap Wolfsburg badges and decals available on eBay.
For just a few bucks, everybuddy can drive a Wolfie !
