Morning - I wish to comment on my new Mk.8 Golf. Love the car - the best model yet., BUT - feel the handbook is not worth the paper it.s printed on !!
I had the car delivered to my home but the driver had to dash off to deliver another car, miles away ! I looked at the handbook for advice on various points but ended up visiting my local dealer (Wolsey VW ,Ipswich) -where Mike of fleet sales assisted me -
Needing more advice on how to work various things required two subsequent visits to Wolseys, who were kind enough to help.
I,m 74 now and have owned loads of VWs including every mark of Golf - except the Mk.5 - and I feel the handbook is totally lacking in information - it is too cluttered with a lack of illustrations and a"brief how to guide" !!
I tell my friends I feel limited without an electronics degree !!
My latest query is a warning which states - "Hazard warnings are currently restricted" - Is this covered in the handbook - NO it isn,t !!!
I log for the old days when the handbooks were understandable - perhaps you should consider a seniors version !!
