With temperatures falling below zero and the exceptional summer a distant memory, Volkswagen retailers are offering all drivers a comprehensive ‘Ready for Winter Check’ for safe, peace of mind motoring.
Winter conditions place much heavier demands on a car, with cold starts, plus increased use of heater systems, headlights and the rear demister taking their toll on a car’s well-being. With this in mind, it is wise to ensure that everything is in good working order.
The check involves a visual inspection of the car’s key operational systems and components, including the lights, oil, battery, cooling system, tyres and exhaust.
A written report is then produced for the customer, highlighting any potential problem areas.
Volkswagen has unveiled the first picture of its new three-door Golf, ahead of the model’s major international public debut at this year’s Frankfurt Motor Show. The new Golf - the fifth generation of Volkswagen’s best-selling model to date - will set new benchmarks in its class for technology, safety and dynamics.
Compared with the current Golf, there is a greater visual distinction in profile between three- and five-door models. With a ‘kicked-up’ rear side window, the three-door design is intended to convey a more sporty and dynamic message.
The interior builds upon the high standards set by its predecessor, with soft-feel slush-moulded plastics; high-quality switches; subtle use of chrome; fabric-covered A-pillars; plus blue instrument backlighting with red needles, a signature of the current model. The latest Golf also sets new standards by introducing 2Zone climate control and
4-way lumbar support within the line-up. In addition, ESP (Electronic Stabilisation Programme); six airbags; ABS; and five head restraints (including active head restraints for the front seats) will be standard throughout the range when it goes on sale in the UK early next year.
