Welcome to London's VW Specialist.We have a team of VW specialists who can sort out anything from basic VW servicing to advanced technical VW cars problems. One of the best independent VW Master Technician on site offering knowledge and experience using the latest VW Main Dealer compulsory diagnostics equipment.

A Volkswagen Winter Health Check can ensure your vehicle is ready to face the worst of the winter weather. Available from participating Volkswagen Retailers nationwide, the central element of this seasonal service is the Express Visual Check. This 34-point inspection is intended to help identify any parts that require work or replacement for safety reasons. It will also point out areas of the car that may require attention at a later date.

 

All of the information gleaned from the check is relayed to the customer via a simple ‘traffic light’ reporting system where green means an item is in full working order; yellow means it is safe and legal, but may need maintenance in the future; and red means it could require immediate attention.

 

Among items included in the Winter Health Check are tyre pressures and tyre tread depths, both of which are important for safe winter motoring thanks, of course, to the season’s often difficult driving conditions.

 

The Volkswagen Winter Health Check also sees the car washed and vacuumed so that it is returned in good cosmetic, as well as mechanical, condition. Customers can keep their car in tip-top shape through the worst of the weather, too, as they go home with a car care kit that comprises anti-freeze, de-icer, rubber care materials and a handy ice scraper.

 

Last year thousands of UK motorists helped to ensure their cars were prepared for winter by purchasing a check from their Volkswagen Retailer.

  • The next phase of the staggered market launch begins
  •  TV and print advertisements complement comprehensive digital activities 
  • Focus on design, spatial concept and connectivity

Volkswagen is further developing the international marketing campaign for the market launch of the new Tiguan Allspace. Under the motto "The new Tiguan Allspace 7-seater," the digital activities, which have been ongoing since the official pre-sales launch, will be complemented with TV, print and poster advertisement.

The new Tiguan Allspace is the long-wheelbase version of the best-selling Tiguan, offering a slightly modified design, greater flexibility in the interior and an attractive equipment range. At the same time, with the optional third row of seats, the Tiguan Allspace can seat up to seven people. The 360° marketing campaign underlines these qualities, illustrating how the Tiguan Allspace perfectly combines spaciousness, flexibility and connectivity features.

"The new Tiguan Allspace is a perfect fit for all drivers and families who have, until now, been reliant on vans for the space they require, but are looking for the design and convenient equipment of our successful Tiguan model. The campaign combines humour and feeling in demonstrating just how the Tiguan Allspace offers comfort, modern design and room for adventures as one complete package," noted Jürgen Stackmann, member of the Volkswagen Board of Management responsible for Sales.

The TV advert uses humour to show how the Tiguan Allspace's innovative spatial concept with up to seven seats is full of surprises. At a wedding with a twist, the Tiguan Allspace helps guests arrive just in the nick of time.

The print campaign also highlights the Tiguan Allspace's expandable seating arrangement and showcases the vehicle at various viewpoints outside the gates to the city. What's more, the highlights of the new Tiguan Allspace, such as the gesture command and Cam-Connect, are presented to the relevant target groups via social media channels in an entertaining online film, shown from the perspective of a dog.

 

The creative agency responsible for the campaign is Grabarz & Partner.

Small gestures can achieve a lot in everyday life, but also when it comes to gesture control in your car. This function makes it even more convenient to operate the optional Discover Navigation Pro system. It enables you to easily move around in the main menu and various submenus using a right-to-left swipe gesture to switch pages. For example, with just a single hand movement, you can switch radio station, songs, or photos. For each gesture, you use a colour code on the user interface to see where gesture control works and where it doesn't - after all, the traditional control options are of course also available for use at any time.

  • Automatically retrievable personalisation offered for T-Roc, Golf, Touran, Tiguan, Passat and Arteon
  • All personalised settings are saved locally in the Volkswagen for a number of drivers

People are different. Some are tall, others are short; some like loud rock music, others may prefer classical; some actually freeze in summer, while others are too warm even in winter. If a number of people share one and the same car, each change of driver involves setting, altering and adjusting preferences. Now Volkswagen is putting a stop to all this. "Personalisation" in the true meaning of the word is the key here: the individual settings are allocated to a user name – Driver1, for example – and the respective car key activates them automatically. The personalisation function is already available for the new T-Roc and Arteon as well as all versions of the current Golf, Touran, Tiguan and Passat. As soon as these Volkswagen models are fitted with the feature known as driving profile selection and/or (depending on the model) with a memory function for the driver's seat, personalisation is also included.

 

It is remarkably easy to handle: all of the useful driver settings for personalisation are saved automatically in an individual user account. When drivers leave the car, their settings then remain on board as a data record. Thanks to the key memory, the settings are automatically retrieved and reactivated as soon as a driver opens the Volkswagen again with his or her car key. All user accounts can be given their own name (apart from the "Guest" account), which then appears as a greeting in the instruments.

If you have accidentally picked up another driver's key, the user can be changed "manually" in no time at all via the display in the instrument cluster (or the optional Active Info Display) and the multifunction keys in the steering wheel. Personalisation can of course also be completely deactivated (and reactivated) and the user account changed via the user management function in the car menu. Three memory places are available as well as a Guest account with preset values.

Depending on the model and equipment, the following functions are saved:

  • Electrically adjustable driver's seat with memory function: seat position
  • Exterior mirrors (only for driver's seat with memory function): position, lowering while reversing
  • Air conditioning: temperature settings (left/right), ventilation with circulation and blower speed
  • Infotainment: navigation settings, radio station and sound among others
  • Head-up Display: selection of information shown
  • Instrument cluster: multifunction display, Active Info Display.
  • Driving profile selection: last profile
  • Park Assist – park steering assistant including parking assistant: volume of the beeps, pitch
  • Lights: Coming Home and Leaving Home functions
  • Configuration of the driver assistance systems: Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), advance warning for pedestrian protection, Lane Assist, Dynamic Road Sign Display, Side Assist, Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Traffic Alert
