#43 of 50 20,000 mile service by shirotori Jul 22, 2008 (5:39 pm)
I just had the 20,000 mile service on my 2007 Rabbit that I've had for 14 months. For the full service it cost me $218 in a smaller city in Wisconsin, though if I had had it done at another dealership near Chicago where I'm living now it would have cost me another $100 or so. A clamp in the driver-side window had loosened, but that was the only issue...of which it was very small. The Rabbit is running very well; it's been a very good purchase for me. I also had my windows tinted a while back and it makes the car look quite nice.
#44 of 50 Windows and the Remote Control by daylabor Jul 24, 2008 (2:24 pm)
I just bought a rabbit, and so far I love the thing.   I've already got a question the dealer can't answer: if you put the key in the door and twist to unlock and hold it, the windows all open. Can you program the remote control to do this?   Thanks to anyone who has an answer! Replies to this message: shirotori (Jul 24, 2008 3:17 pm) jeffyscott (Jul 25, 2008 9:14 am)

Replying to: daylabor (Jul 24, 2008 2:24 pm) I believe this is a European feature. My German friend told me about this and then I asked my dealer (last year) and was told that this is not a feature on the North American or at least U.S. vehicles. The dealer could have been wrong though, so I suppose it's worth further investigation.

Replying to: daylabor (Jul 24, 2008 2:24 pm) Dealer won't want to do it because they do not want to mess around with, or risk making an error in, changing the coding. But in theory, it can be done. It can also be done with vagcom, I believe.   Look for "Comfort opening power windows via remote control active" in the list here: http://en.openobd.org/vw/golf_1k.htm
#47 of 50 wow, i have not been here in awhile. by eldaino Aug 12, 2008 (12:59 pm)
i just was browsing the forums, decided to stop by.   still have the fit, have racked up over 30k in less than a year.    i figure my rabbit would have fared the same, it just would have been more expensive to do so.   we just got an 08 bug for my wife and she loves it, as it reminds her of sammie. it was nice getting back into a vee dub, and like i said before, they have thier very nice points. (and yes, we opted for the one time charge, and now we have free maintenence for the next 3 years regardless of mileage.)   so how is everyone's bunny doing? i may get back into one in a couple of years, probably an mk6, wether or not it'll be a gti remains to be seen.

Replying to: eldaino (Aug 12, 2008 12:59 pm) I have 22,000 miles on my 2007 5M Rabbit and am enjoying it a lot. I have had no trouble. It's been a great car thus far.

Rabbit Log: 2200 hours, 997 miles:   August 13th:   Observed and driven 2008 Rabbit 4 door automatic for 30 days. No problems noted, except for 2 moderately-deep half-inch scratches on rear bumper caused by lame attempt to load road bike through rear hatch.   A bit more power desired. Should have bought a GTI.   Will do better next time.   Over and out.
