LRR Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Seen a few people comment on this.... Including "Scillyisles" [ QUOTE ] Interesting I don't have a leather bound manual - mine is grey plastic looking and seem to contain general Golf Manuals made up of various sections. [/ QUOTE ] I collected my R32 mid November, and like many others only got the basic manual too... So I sent my dealer (Caffyns - Haywards Heath) the following email.... [ QUOTE ] I've been looking on a website called 'www.tyresmoke.net' where a (large) number of GTI, and R32 owners seem to hang out.... Someone has posted a picture of the 'Leather Bound R32 Manual' (similar to the one I had with the GTI) saying how 'special' it is, however I only got a basic (cheap) plastic Golf one, was mine robbed by someone at VW, or something? http://www.tyresmoke.net/attachments/693371-IMG_0520.JPG [/ QUOTE ] I got a call from the garage about 10 minutes later saying... We've ordered you a leather one, It'll be available to collect tomorrow.... So the moral of the story is...if you have the basic golf one call your dealer...Hopefully, they'll get you a spankie new one too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmzl Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 (Using my GF's account) Hi LeeR, I live in Haywards Heath too, i've got a Black MK4 R32 03 plate... I think i was eyeing your R32 up in the Show room in Oct/Nov time! Is it the 5 door? Was gutted when they told me it was gone and i wont get one til 2007!!!!!!!!! Lucky you, i'll keep an eye out for ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan32 Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 I think Lee's is the DBP 5 dr that was Caffyns demo car for about an hour before he bought it. I saw the black one (possibly the one from the showroom) in the car park with private plate yesterday so that was possibly sold whilst sitting in the showroom or was a customer car already. Gemma's BF - may have seen you floating about and i think I live quite close to you! There is also a chance we had a tentative 'fellow R32 owner wave' at one another!

Dan32 Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Ah, then its not you I have seen! Strange that there are suddenly more Rs from HH appearing on TSN! My car has had a straight thru Milltek exhaust and an EIP cold air intake put on it. Kim down at QSTuning did all the work and is a Milltek supplier. Its also had the 6463 update but that probably didn't make it any louder! I also drive it like a prat most of the time so that may have loosened it up a bit. Defo sounds louder to me now than when I had the work done on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmzl Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Oh you can tell is been tuned!!! Well it's actually the Ashenground side of the woods i live. You actually drove past my one day when i was just getting mine outta the garage. I'll keep and eye out for you. Oh and....you actually parked outside my work in Lewes. Must have been about 6 months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRR Posted February 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Just popped down to Caffyns to picked up my spankie new leather manual, all boxed and shiney ...Good service! Yeah, the black one was delivered a week later it was there when I collected mine... The sales guy said they'd taken up a special offer of 'Buy 4 old version Passats, get 1 extra allocation R32'.... Supposidly they called up the other people on their waiting list, and no-one wanted it there and then.... They put it in the showroom, and it sold a couple of days later. I saw a very nice silver mk4 R32 with private plates the other week (pulled out in front of him on a272) we then 'sensibly' drove down the a23 together....... I'll remember to give a polite wave next time I see a fellow HH R32'er...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan32 Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 At this rate we could have our own Haywards Heath R32 TSN Group Meeting!! Lewes eh! Mate of mine owns the only phone shop down there so was probably sorting out a new phone. Was I parked in the car park at the top of the town? And you've got to get yourself a different username otherwise you'll end up with this lot calling you 'Gemma' for the rest of your TSN days! Caffyns? Good service? Oh, thats right, you just spent the best part of £30k in there! Think I saw you heading up the A23 towards Gatwick the other day. Unfortunately was in a friends car and its a tad slower than the R so no 'sensibly' driving together!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
