According to a Dutch online newspaper today, Volkswagen is asking owners of a VW Golf I (build year 1974) to return the car to a dealership. There seems to be problems with the lockmechanism of the glove compartement.

Dutch link

Still looking for an English version of the article.

If true, that is customer service for you, but I have my doubts.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Well, I saw the advert of the Dutch VW importer who asked customers to come with their 1974 Golf I to their local dealer to have it fixed. In return they also get a free overhaul.

Well you know how the germans are with perfection in their motors.
Wonder if I stick a Mk I badge on my beemer will they fix my glove box? Or at least seal it up properly. ;D


No chance, BMW are tighter than a ducks rear on a frozen pond ;D

Nope... but for the few MK1s in europe its simply funnny... but they still make new MK1s in South Africa (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_Citi) Which probably have the same glovebox system
