My Edition 30
« on: June 16, 2014, 06:02:16 pm »
Hi all,

I thought I'd put up a couple of shots of my 2007 Golf Edition 30 that I've had for a few months.

Since I've had it I've had to fix the RNS-510 as it had a dim screen issue, I've had the brake discs and pads changed all round as well as having the DSG oil and filter change.

The next job on the list is to replace the tyres and the front suspension as it's sunk on the front nearside (possibly springs or something else worn?).  Not sure whether to go with OEM or uprate it.  I'd also like to improve the quality of the sound system as it's got way too much top end and not a lot of low.  

Really enjoying the car though and I'm tempted by a remap.  :evilgrin:  Anyway, here is the spec:

Diamond black metallic paint
DSG
Multi-function steering wheel
Xenons
RNS-510
6 CD multi-changer
iPod connection
Electric Sunroof
Cruise Control
Auto lights
Auto wipers
Reversing sensors
10 speaker upgrade
Factory tinted glass

When I bought it had done 19,500 miles, but it's got about 21,000 on it now.  Here it is after a quick wash and polish...

Since I've had it I've spotted a few Edition 30s on my travels, one in Bristol, one at the Dartford tolls and one drove past me in Ipswich the other day (most unexpected) - same as mine but the 5 door version.

May catch some of you soon no doubt.

Cheers.   :happy2:

It's gone to VW today to have a the springs looked at.

Then new tyres and I'll be happy!  It's currently got Michelins on there so I'm thinking replace like for like.

Two new springs on the front and it's now much better handling-wise.

Thanks mate. 

Yes, regarding the RNS dim screen, I replaced the screen board (the board behind the screen that the controls are fixed too, and that sorted the problem.

The sunroof seems quite a rare option...I guess it's the days of air con that mean less people go for it?

Do you have a thread up on here for your car?  Always like to see Edition 30s!
