bossjohnc Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 Had a call from VW this morning...They got a new spoiler delivered, but it arrived broken.Next day (today) they got another spoiler delivered, but it's "Different". Different, but for the loop GTi apparently - they called the parts place and they said that the old spoiler is no longer made, and has been replaced by this new one. The brake light assembly is different, so they need to order a new brake light now!! Hopefully that'll arrive tomorrow and they'll spray it and it'll be ready for Monday.I'm intregued as to what the difference might be - I suspect it might be something to do with the condensation problem though... we'll see.

bossjohnc Posted September 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 Only thing that makes me think that they may not be lying is that I haven't actually chased them for it, and they originally said it would be back on monday anyway! :?

jr Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 the spoiler they have ordered is of epac, and is a optional extra on normal models, it uses the standard brake light that is in the top of the tailgatePART NUMBER: 6X0 071 6459 AXthe part number you need is 6E0 827 933 D GRU, which does have adiffrent brake light arrangment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bossjohnc Posted September 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 Well beleive it - I've just been down there - they had the `non-gti` spoiler in and were prepping it. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":o" border="0" alt="ohmy.gif" />They were adamant that the other spoiler had been discontinued until I showed them the part no that jr gave me, and they then realised their mistake. My friend, I owe you a couple of beers!!!GTi spoiler now on order - car should be ready Tuesday.Oh, and they offered me a job in the parts dept!! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
