New guy from Joburg
Greetings,
I jumped back into the VW way with my first car purchase. Settled on a Polo Highline DSG brand spanking new. Loving the drive so far! The new car smell hasn't gone yet!

Hey Kavi,
I took it with PDC, Composition Media, Lights and Vision and Cruise Control. I can't believe how it drives with only 81KW under the bonnet!

Re: New guy from Joburg
Haven't had the car for 2 weeks yet and some clown on the highway caught a piece of truck exhaust lying in the road and promptly sent it my way. Waiting for the quote from VW to have the damage fixed underneath. Whatever the small radiator below the larger one is called has a nice bend in it. Couple of other things not so happy under there as well.
So chuffed with it all, I am. Fecks sakes.

It is indeed. Got the quote back. Basically R20k damage. Radiator, Charge cooler?, Condensor. The whole lot is bent out of shape.

Re: New guy from Joburg
Yeah our cars don't have a intercooler , the charge cooler does that job for us within the engine cooling system.
