So turned up today and have spent a lot of the morning zipping around in it. So far so good just have to get to used to it.

Where can I turn the start stop off when at lights etc I bloody hate that feature.

No sign of the service book.

One curious thing  every option was pretty well ticked for the build except the reversing camera yet has the parking pilot.

Nice, judging by the nice spec and no service book would mean Jap import :angel:? Those are better spec'd than our base nz new cars anyway so who cares. I believe you can permanently disable the start/stop through vagcom

Gazley is a odd one (to me at least) - they say they are an official dealer for several brands, including mercedez benz etc

I have not found another dealer selling an official brand car that isn't NZ new, except that's exactly what Gazley does - I even asked Mercedes head office about this but never got a reply back.

I assume Gazley is just buying these cars off a wholesale importer

For instance when I was looking at trading in the golf, at that time the car was within the 5 or 6 year period where they will re-sell it on their yard but the VAG dealers I spoke to all said they would not put the car on their yard because it wasn't NZ new

So had it for a couple of weeks now and all I can say is oh yeah. So much I love about it.

I do love the heated leather seats and the push to start, its the small things that keep me happy lol.

Its going in next week for a full inspection and the following'

Oil change and flush
DSG service
Haldex Service
Coolant flush
Brake fluid flush and change
Maps updated

Still getting used to it but grin every time I get into it. My wife just rolls her eyes lol.

Once you get heated and cooling leather seats there is no going back, the heating is awesome for winter and the cooling awesome for summer

Glad to hear you're so happy :)

Next up is convincing the wife you need a Stage 2 tune

The car cost me a new 5k ring for her so will hold off for 12 months before it needs to go in for a "Tune" if you know what I mean. ;)

auto stop/start makes so much more sense with the amber before green that you get in the UK

Is your retrofit kit component portection free? The new MIB systems are region and VIN locked, they have to be remotely adjusted to allow for all options to be opened up.

Conversions on the MIB are $1200nzd for all options porgrammed, NZ firmware and maps installed.

Alittletuingco in CHCH are setup for these.
