welcome Mark.Just dropped a deposit on a 2009 R50, trading in my 2009 V6 TDI, which I love
any know issues with the V10, seems strange it did not come with SAT Nav Colour Screen, I thought this was standard on R50?
Cheers
Mark
Hi Stevewelcome Mark.
Why trade up to the R50? Whereabouts are you? The RNS510 map screen is colour. If you're referring to the Multi-function display between the tach and the speedometer, I'm thinking there's been a problem in the past and a non-colour MFD has been installed.
Really need more detailed information in respect to what you are referring to.
Don't be offended....but I'm surprised you've put the deposit down before coming here to ask about known issues. Cart. before. the. horse?
Thanks Steve, nice to know someone who knows this stuff inside out. I am in Vermont in Melbourne and would like an independent look at it, do you know of anyone?ok..my apologies...the RNS510 with RVC was a $6k+ upgrade option.

Easy enough (and significantly cheaper) to upgrade once the vehicle has been purchased.
Where are you located? I'd be getting an independent Volkswagen Service Technician to inspect this vehicle before putting the balance of you purchase price on the table.
Thanks for thatThere is a thread in the Australia /New Zealand section......maybe a page or 2 back. It details highly recommended technicians etc Australia wide.
Just looked at your proposed R50 on the dealers website...looks very nice...Good luckJust dropped a deposit on a 2009 R50, trading in my 2009 V6 TDI, which I love

Hi Ben,Ripper! I'll be in touch 👍
So the story goes;Hi Ben,
Are you new to VW? I am. When will your car arrive down here? Tell me more about it - year, condition, how many k's etc. And if you don't mind telling me (perhaps by phone) how much it set you back?
Have you thought about an extended warranty for the car? It as recommended to me by another R50 owner in WA - I took it up and glad that I did - my thermostat failed after about four/five months - the replacement cost was over $1130 - covered by the warranty. Will provide details if interested.
Cheers, Dan
