robinf said:The problem with the original unit was that horizontal lines started appearing across the display obscuring the words and icons. Over a period of some months, it got progressively worse to the point where it was not possible to read anything! The faulty unit is the one I retained. The replacement unit (in Sept 2012) recently started showing the same symptoms so before it got any worse, I contacted VW in Cheltenham for a replacement under warranty. They kept this one (as it was a warranty item). Hope that helps! Robin
I've given up on the Cornwall dealership. First impressions of Exeter are good; decent product knowledge, friendly, call answered immediately, etc. Fingers crossed!dynamicstall said:Exeter have been excellent with me. They even put the TV on for me and gave me coffee!
