hi all been lookin on the site for few weeks now, and im happy to say im pickin up my gti this week sometime, cant wait. 56plate shadow blue 18' monzas 3 door with on 15k on the clocks. its spotless dont think im gona get much sleep till i pick it up. just wonder if anyone could help me out with the options, its got auto headlights and wipers it also has an arm rest and the nicer centre console. which options did u need for a highline dash? great site btw.
-
welcome to the forum, highline is a option on it own
-
o right what is actually displayed in it? i take it the lights and wipers is some sort of winter pack and the arm rest is an option on its own also

thats highline, the other display is half that size, on highline it shows a few things depending what you have installed, thats showing directions with my Nav, but it can show radio station, cd track, etc etc , it also alows you to alter some settings in the car, its quite a neat touch, only a £50 option and most people get it, but some people are either to tight to get it, or dont know about it
Armrest is an option, auto lights and wipers are standard from what i recall

-
here you will see both highline (right), and normal (left), the top part of the Normal does not work, its just plastic

when you get the car you can see what packs have been added by looking in the front of the service book, you will see the 3 digit codes and these can be checked online to see what the car was provided with

Welcome to the forum :smiley:

well i picked my gti up yesterday, done 15 miles and my air con pump went bang, seized solid and spat the v belt off. which is a great start. it still has a years warranty left which is lucky so will be puttin a new pump condensor v belt and tensior and alternator pulley on it tuesday hopefully. hope its not the start of things to come as im bit gutted at the moment to say the least.
-
Welcome mate.
That's horrendous news! Did you find out whether it had highline or not? Silly of VW not to have included it for only £50. Anyway, hope the car get's sorted and when it does, post up some pics!
-
no sadly its not got a highline dash. tight sods. still gutted didnt even have it a day lol. at least i will be gettin paid to work on my own car next week and i will have a nice new ac pump. will get some pics of the pump and post them up. it pretty much blew it in half! so its dumped its oil everywhere to. never seen one do it before. then as the pulley went solid on the pump it destroyed the belt in no time at all, a matter of seconds. couldnt believe it. never mind, will strip it down tommorrow gona take the cambelt cover off to want to make sure nothing got behind it, then put all new pulleys on and a pump and go from there. just want it back sooooo bad. :driver: :sad:
-
Hey George that's really bad look, but i think thats all it is as i have never heard of that happening.
Keep your chin up it will be sorted soon and you can then begin to enjoy your GTI experience. :wink:
-
yea i cant wait, i work for vw so i know the gti's are normally pretty good which made me even more shocked. will be gettin the parts on order first thing tomorrow so they land tuesday. its on my ramp already waitin to be stripped down.
-
So has the car been sat around for a while to do that sort of Damage, seized belt pulley?? :confused:
-
no think it was just plain bad luck. they have modified the ac pumps now anyway. i got the car bk on the road tuesday after it cost vw bout 1500 quid in warranty bits and labour. had a new ac pump, belt, condensor, expansion valve and a pipe. i also flushed the system 4 times when it was apart so it should be smooth sailing now. just want the snow to leave me alone now. hopefully give it its first wash on sunday so i can get some pics. love driving it though was worht the wait. :grin:
