purple highline monster 0 Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 software upgrade is free form vw, check the haldex diff has been serviced/checked and beware any lowered r32 this nackers the diff over time, check the konig seats are ok too, vw have replaced loads of leather covers due to seams splitting!!

VR6Pete 1,455 Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 I thought the stuttering was only on the earlier R32's anyway, i'm sure VW would be able to check on there systems if the software upgrade has been done or not... Link to post Share on other sites
vr6highline28 0 Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 i bought an r32 from vw dealers about a month ago now and asked about the software upgrades - ure right it was only the very early models which had this pause in power problem .. i even checked with customer services at milton keynes that the car hadnt had any warranty recalls ... my best advice on buying an r32 is write down exactly what you want in terms of spec / colour / leather ? / sat nav ? / miles and just wait ... mine turned up though ended up buying it from a vw dealers on the south coast and i live in yorkshire ... !!! they are still pricey so make sure you get exactly what you want but you wont be disappointed with the handling it really is truly excellent !

vr6highline28 0 Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 yes and your right about the konig leather ... the quality (in my opinion) of the leather isnt as good as my highline to be honest ! Link to post Share on other sites
