Me too - PFA: front fog lamps for North Africa.

Mind you, it also says I have air-con in place of standard sunroof. They might have a sunroof as standard in North Africa but here in rainy old Blighty they don't - they have air-con (climate control actually if you don't mind) to stop the windows from misting up

When I checked the one I am getting, it only staes six-speed automatic transmission, I hope that means it's the DSG box! it does not state DSG anywhere else though!!

Depends on the engine you've gone for - diesels get the DSG auto whereas petrols 'make do' with Tiptronic.

It's the diesel I'm hopefully getting.

Going back to the original query - I too have option PFA "front fog lamps for North Africa" and I'd love to know why they are called that.

Also does anyone know what 4X3 "sideguard" is? I guessed its the anti-ding strips down the doors.

Cheers,
Les.

I have "Leather package for China" on mine - with ISOfix (child seat anchorage) labels on the seats. In addition to my Chinese leather seats I also have"partially leather seat covering".

I think we should take some of the info from that Oil Shop site with a pinch of salt, or a drop of soy sauce!
