zweeks can you take a picture of the rear license plate light at night? I've heard VW may have replaced those with LEDs on the 2012 GTIs and Golfs.

You're right, the dealer should be able to do it. However, when I took my TDI in for its 10K service, the dealer said "no-can-do."

Just find someone in your area with a VCDS if the dealer won't do it for you.

On the 2011's in the trip computer there is an option to show "alternate speed" I think. This will give you km/h right above the odometer in the center display.

First:

Second (Box Ticked):

Result (Note that with this ON you cannot get the MPH to show up in a larger number above it):

zweeks - Gorgeous Car - Sounds like you made a good deal. Like you I was totally blown away by the ride of these Golf TDI's. Enjoy

Thx TDIStevestr,

That solve my question and hopefully that 2012 is the same.

Do you have a body kit on the car. Your front and rear doesn't look anything like the 2012's I've seen on the dealer lots... I like the look of your car much better!

No body kit - everything is stock for a TDI Tech Pkg. Not sure what you might have seen that looks different? I think that you'll see other pics over on VWvortex that might help??
