    Saves weight! Plus its a good place to store additional amplifiers or a water meth kit.

    You did get a repair kit didn't you?

    Yes I got the repair kit, the lock nut and hook (for removing the black plastic caps over wheel nuts) lays in the back in the polystyrine mold which holds the air compressor and goo kit, you cant miss it... there is also a screw driver and some other tool which i'm not sure what is used for.

    thanks, I'll check for the tool. I think I remember seeing the hook but couldn't see any locknut tool/socket. I'll check again.

    Thanks to these forums we caught yet another VW dealer about to let us drive out the driveway with the rubber blocks in. I was looking at it thinking that is weird, then I went and checked the white one on the yard for sale still and notice it doesn't have the weird looking suspension control holders in place. Asked the embarrassed salesman and workshop manager if they woudlmind removing them before we left today.
    Thanks for the heads up other Rocco owners!

    It's a pretty common occurance.

    The spring spacers are generally only fitted to Polo and Golf GTIs, all R-lines except Touareg, and Scirocco, but from time to time you'll see them on other models as well. I'm told it depends on the boat they come over on, and the dock it's launched from.

    No matter it come or not. The dealer has to make sure there is not before delivery. that is what we pay the pre-delivery for.
