I don't know where the microphone is on the Golf, but some years ago My mk2 tt had similar probs. The mic was in the overhead box behind the rear view mirror. I was discovered that some had been fitted on the left hand side at the factory (for lhd cars) once it was swapped over problem solved. Might be worth a check.
Just to let you know, I have just renewed my insurance and took it with LV. They will now cover the R without a tracker.
£215 fully comp. Now I know I have had no claims for many tears and a completely clean licence but still think thats pretty good.
Just had my my16 in for its 2nd service. The car was collected from my house yesterday and delivered back in the afternoon. great service, However, on the seat this morning I found a bottle of washer fluid and a box with a "Dataplug" inside. Has anybody got an idea of what this is for.
Just had a call from my local dealer regarding an air con service.
The car is 20 months old and the dealer says an air con service is recommended at 2yrs. Apparently this entails removing and replacing the gas and replacing the oil in the compressor. Anyone else heard about this. Oh and it's £79. Sounds to me like a dealer scam.
I had mine replaced a week after taking delivery for a stone chip. Done by Autoglass via insurance. I asked about OEM and the technician said they use the same glass from the same manufacturer but they do not have the rights to the VW logo. However, the service and fitting was excellent, would never know it had been replaced.
