Thanks very much Sandberg84, I did try the uk site which is still active however it requires a VIN number before it will issue the online manual. Unfortunately my Australian VIN number for my TSI Alltrack is not recognised in the UK. I did contact VW Australia about a online/PDF manual but I have not received a reply. I am having some issues trying to read the VW manual's small print due to my poor eyesight (reading), so I will be really looking forward to the new iPad app 'stuff' perhaps coming to fruition !
