It’s part of a local motor group so not one of the big dealership franchises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe raise it with VW directly too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m assuming the engine cover would be the same for the R20 as the golf R and not needing more alterations and that’s why the vin is not showing anything for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nes Posted September 20 Report Share Posted September 20 Is there a way to check detailed spec on my car using the registration number or something else? I bought a 2021 Lapiz Golf R 19" Estoril alloys Pan roof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a 2021 Lapiz Golf R 19" Estoril alloys Pan roof Yes, If you use the myvw app and navigate to the garage section there is a link which will list the specification of the car. It looks fairly comprehensive but I can't guarantee it will show everything. Hope this helps Nes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best service I ever had was from Toyota, I couldn’t fault it and that was on a humble Yaris.
