And i was wondering roughly how much a full respray will cost me ? Color change is expensive. I say do not do it. It is very hard to paint everything to make it look right. Any paint shop will give you a price, but it will be eye watering. It will also devalue the car considerably. Although you may not care about that now it will hit you hard when you come to sell. It would be way too much work and expensive on such a new car. Best would be to trade it in on a white one. Anything can be done at a price. The trouble is that the engine bay, inside the rear hatch and within the door frames all need to be done. Sell it and buy a white one. You might lose a few hundred quid doing that but that's nothing compared to the cost of getting a bodyshop to spray it a different colour. Will changing the stereo in my 2010 VW Jetta void my warranty? I have a 2010 VW Jetta that is still under the bumper-to-bumper warranty.
I want to get my stereo upgraded to the "Premium 8" satellite radio. I also need to get the "shark fin" antenna installed too. Will doing this (or having it done) void my warranty? That should work fine. And if you are worried about the warranty, have the dealer install the units. This will ensure the warranty is good. CAN-BUS, which can only be done with special tools. If I recall correctly, that 'shark fin' you mention, is only on Audis. I believe you may find that the alarm system "routes through" the stereo system so a word with your dealer would not go amiss. A new car warranty can't be voided in it's entirety as the result of adding aftermarket parts or equipment. There is something called the Magnum-Moss Warranty Act that gives you specific rights in this arena. Also, even if new parts are installed by an authorized VW dealer, they will not carry the new car warranty unless they were installed prior to delivery on your specific car.
This clause pertains to situations like a VW dealership installing VW Driver Gear lowering springs or a premium radio like the RCD-510 or RNS-510. Unfortunately neither of these items will be covered by the original warranty on your car, or the warranty that previously covered the RNS-510 or RCD-510 if it was purchased pre-owned. New parts from VW are covered by a separate 12 month warranty. Hopefully this information helps clear up those issues for you. As far as the installation goes, it is fairly straight forward. You will need to partially remove the headliner to install the wires going to the new sharkfin antenna. Additionally, you may need to perform some coding using a VAG-COM to make sure the the RCD-510 properly interacts with your MFD display and multifunction steering wheel, if applicable. Did the old Volkswagons really float and if so, do the new ones? Yep they are a forgotten gem.
Most cars will float for a while. Are you gonna paddle it like a canoe? If you want to cross the English Channel. Catalina Island from the coast of California, this is what you need. Schwimmwagen was made to float. WWII. the beetle were so air tight that when new and if the seals are perfect on a restored one you need to crack the window a little to get the door to close. 5) Most cars will float for a quite sometime if the Japanese tsunami was anything to go by. Which is the best car; the Volkswagen Jetta, the Chevy Cruze, or the Kia Forte? I'm on a tight budget and safety is a priority. They are most likely all pretty safe. If you are tight on a budget, avoid the VW. CR is the best source for that info. Dont buy anything w/o reading Consumer Reports, CR.

If safety is a priority, take the Jetta. Among these three, the Volkswagen Jetta is the more solid, quick, luxurious and safe car. If you go for the 1.4TSI engine on the Jetta, it would blow you away. The Kia Forte and the Chevy Cruze are better-than-average Korean cars (the Cruze might wear a Chevy badge, but it is engineered by Koreans). The Kia Forte offers good value, and the Cruze is big on style and space. The Jetta is based on the Volkswagen Golf; one of the best hatchbacks of all time. Question about my 1974 Superbeetle?
