Groover Posted February 28, 2004 Report Share Posted February 28, 2004 - Make sure they put Optimax / Ultimate in for your first petrol - Check the rims for scratching (Car transporters can be brutal on rims) - Bring freezer bag clip with you - Ensure the 500ml Oil top up bottle hasn't been half-inched Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moschops Posted February 28, 2004 Report Share Posted February 28, 2004 Riz, The pen should in the leather bound user guides. The umbrella and keyring set will be sent direct to your home from VW at MK. Also if your having the Sat Nav, make sure you've got the disc for it and the users guides as these are not in the leather user guide folder. Also some dealers may not supply the top up oil, as and get this, some "mongs" have complained that a carton of oil was left in the boot!!!! Also it has leaked in some cars as the tops have not been put back on properly.....so I think it's down to the dealers discretion. I've asked mine for this, we'll see on Monday, I know I'm not getting a full tank of gogo juice (not impressed) but I will take that up with them on Monday. The mats have been fitted and the Vag-Coms i asked for have been installed and work, auto-locking occurs at 9.4 mph. The alarm arming beeps don't sound too bad. The car has been de-locked and the old locked boxed and left in the car. My number plates have been stuck on as I didn't want them screwed on just in case the plate gets put on wonky.... Undertray was still to be fitted. Pen was still in the user guides, but will check again on Monday. Headlight proptectors were also in place. Urmmm I think that nearly covers it, but I will print this off on Sunday evening ready for Monday as Riz's checklist is very similar to mine...LOL... Oh checked the paintwork and all is okay, no runs or anything, but that was Friday so will get my fine tooth comb out ready for Monday.... Well only two more sleeps...

Simon690 Posted February 28, 2004 Report Share Posted February 28, 2004 Just remembered some other stuff (from my own experience) - Check the tool kit in the boot is complete and that you have the little wire hook for removing the caps on the wheel studs. - If you have the Delta stereo make sure that the correct book is in the pack (and the code) with the other guides. - You should get two keys and a plastic key number tab (VW no longer supply the plastic emergency key).

quozl Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 Have a great 1st day with the car lads. I just finished my second day and have 400km on the car so far. Just cant get enough of it you guys are going to love it. May I suggest doing the exhaust mod as soon as you get around the corner from the delaers it really is that easy and makes it sound oh so nice. Anyway Enjoy delivery day I sure did.

Moschops Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 14 hours to go. Have just printed off the various check lists...ready for tomorrow. Wasn't too bothered last night and earlier today, but now I've finshed work and got home, the excitement has started to build. Just like being a kid at Christmas....expensive toy though...
