VW must still be laughing...

at back of 'pod' with speedo in are two small handgrips...

sit in driver's seat, grab the pod and pull up (and slighlty forward)

Ta-Da!

Can't miss the bottle once the lid's off. Wiring in there can be a bit delicate, so be careful about knocking things too much.

Extendable oil filler??...... :shock:

I reckon someone working for VW design team was either incredibly witty, or bore a grudge, I'm as yet undecided..... :lol:

Tinware, always in the way, falls apart when you try to remove it in one piece and hides within its folds the little tiny nut you've just dropped.
