Why do lots of owners with the sportline front splitter fitted, not have the centre lower section in black, is this lazy colour coding or by request?
Mines a Euro 6 204
Not sure why there's animosity towards the Adblue, i've done 8k so far and put less than a fivers worth in, mfd says 3k before any more is required, no big deal to me, the first fill cost me 3.4p in Adblue for every gallon of fuel i used, 3.4p worth of diesel is enough to cover a few hundred metres
this is more than likely to be offset in other ways based on the 180's v 204 comparisons.

Nothing against adblue, just more stuff to go wrong, my neighbour owns a garage and his first comment was your better off without it!Why do lots of owners with the sportline front splitter fitted, not have the centre lower section in black, is this lazy colour coding or by request?

All the adblue issues are dsg related. Thus that's why I stayed away from dsg as adviced from my local VW specialist garage.
No problem, However I have not seen statistics that document that the problems as reffered to are the general rule of the new eu6. (Probably 500.000 out there rolling by now?)
Bear in mind that new technolgy will bring new problems that will need incremental development over the comming years. Still a step in the right direction. I have my 5 year / 200.000km warranty and mobility warranty, they screw up, they fix it
Really? Any further information?
Might be worth noting that we found it very hard to find AdBlue in France; tried all sorts of possible outlets but only managed to find €10.99 for 1.5 litres at a service station; many had none at all.
And do be careful; I added some with that special nozzle but still had a tiny dribble escape which almost immediately crystallised on the paint; rinsed it off sharpish.
Ours started moaning at 1400 miles range and has been making a right fuss; now on 1000 miles range but found a garage with a pump thanks to a handy adblue finding website.
Will top up on our way home.

@Polzeylad , seen it stacked in the doorway of services in Brittany, think it was the Mont Saint Michael Esso or Shell? From memory on the motorway..

I agree, but it could be worse. You could be driving Tesla
