Sean_H Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Hi all, Picked up the new Mk5 last weekend and traded in my Mk4 which has served admirably for last two and half years (very sad to see it go, but also very excited in getting a new Mk5 ). I am just making sure that I have everything I should on the car and had a couple of questions which I was hoping some of you old hands may be able to answer (as I want to have all my facts straight before I put on the boxing gloves with @ the stealers ) 1. Is there supposed to be the medical kit and emergency triangle on the left hand side of the boot? All I have is a plastic rectangular holder/frame and some straps hanging from it. 2. Looking in the car's handbook, there is nothing there that explains how the radio and satnav works. I know you can figure most of this out through trial and error, but I would like to have everything I should just in case. In the actual handbook, it mentions sections 3.1 - 3.6 which should contain this stuff, but all I have is up to 3.3 which from memory is the maintenance section. 3. Is there anything else I should look out for? I have checked and thankfully I have the ubiquitous/very rare bottle opener but I'm not sure what else to look for... As always any help from you guys would be really really appreciated, and I will post some pics this weekend after I wash the week's grime off it Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogbucket Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 1. Pretty sure it doesnt 2. I have a section in the rear of the handbook for the satnav. So it should be there. 3. alot of people have been getting a 1ltr longlife oil in the boot, but that could be dealer dependant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean_H Posted June 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Thanks for that. Looks like the boxing gloves will come on for the missing parts of the handbook By the way - if anyone out there is looking for a set of black '.:R' wheel centre caps for a Mk4, then let me know as I have a brand new set of them going cheap! I didn't know that they would only fit a Mk4 and not a Mk5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdR32 Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 I didn't get the triangle etc either. In the manual it says not standard equipment in some countries, so I'd guess you shouldn't be expecting one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean_H Posted June 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Not sure to be honest... I've only had the car a week now, and had very little time to play around with it. I would consult the manual but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vman Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 My sat/nav book was in German for my GTI, told my dealer and he had one sent to me in under a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
