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.

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.

no sweat! Thanks for any confirmation that I can get.
It's covered under the warranty as long as the dealer doesn't accuse you of putting gas in the tank, which has happened.
There are some problems on a few cars and my best GUESS is that it's due to poor robustness of the pump due to poor fuel quality in the US combined with poor design. The pump design has been revised a few times but it could be to make it cheaper/easier to build or improve the robustness. Nobody outside of VW and Bosch knows what the pump design changes are and for what purpose. The lower quality fuel in the US vs. Europe doesn't help either. A biodiesel 2% or lubricity additive for the first few years should help protect the pump.
Then again, your 06 Jetta has camshaft and flywheel problems that most likely, every car will see. The HPFP is only a few cars. So trading one issue for another?

?This description is spot on for my 2012 Golf TDI w/Tech Pkg! The km/h display is rather small, but it's there!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.

2 cents: the photos posted are the difference between my ordering the BGM and just taking a 2011 candy white (my second fav color) the dealer had on the lot.
The configurator on the VW website doesn't do justice to this color.
So either; thanks, or thanks for helping me spend more money!
