Hello Guys

Glad to be a part of the forum.

Ive just changed my aged 330ci to and 06 plate GTI.
Took one drive and loved it, so much more than the GT TDI the salesman was trying to sell me

Well I pick up the car on Friday so hopefully there will be a pic of my new chosen chariot shortly.

Laters

(PS Does anyone have VAG-COM / VCDS they can scan the car with? - Also posted in the VCDS section)

Excuse my ignorance, but what would the Scan show?

Hey

I just remember when I bought my old TT a few years back it had a number of codes which didnt bring up and dash lights. (I seem to remember a Haldex controller code being one of them)

As I caught the codes early I could get them all fixed under warranty

Speaking of which - can anyone recommend a good after market warranty for when the 3month period is up?

Interesting - I've only had my car about a month so willing to learn about all of these things!

Thanks!

@Greeners

Cheers bud - Well your only an hour away I guess. If OK with you I may well take a drive down the a38. Where abouts in Brum are you?
