Missing fusebox info

How about asking the dealer to show you under the bonnet of another one on the forecourt? Or go to another dealer pretending you are interested in buying one, and ask to look under the bonnet?

Why? What will you see there? ;-)

The fuse identification diagram is normally moulded into (inside of) the fusebox lid.

I'm talking about the one under the dash. No lid and no moulded guide. As I said, I was advised by a VW mechanic that there would normally (on other VWs at least) be a vehicle specific sticker attched to the back of the compartment cover.

It is the fusebox on the drivers side end of the dash panel. You carefully pop the cover off with a couple of flat blade screwdrivers, and the "traditional VAG grey" sticker should be stuck on the inside of the cover.

Tim, as someone else mentioned, go along to the stealer (or even another stealer), saying you are looking to change, and want a full-day unaccompanied test drive (if you currently have, say, a petrol manual - then ask for a diesel DSG). Then, when you are clear of the stealers premises, pop the fusebox cover, and have a look.

Can't see what good that would do. All I would then know is what fuses should be where for a different car. The whole point of the sticker is that it's supposed to be specific for my model.

I've got VW UK currently looking into the situation. The dealer's mechanics tell me there should be a sticker there. The dealer (after consultation with VW UK) tell me my car doesn't come with one. I'd rather believe the mechanic (even if he is wrong) and am currently pressuring VW into supplying me with the info.
