I don't think I've asked this before...

I've had the Formentor for a few months now. It was bought secondhand from a main dealer. The salesman told me they don't come with a big, paper Owners Manual booklet these days - just a little, thin 'quick start guide' type of thing. Was he correct?

If you've bought a facelift Formentor, did it come with a nice big fat Owners Manual?
 
We got our ex-demo Facelift last week and yes it did come with a Owners Manual, A5 size or slightly smaller but Fat and about 200 pages. Not like the old ones with decent size 10 or 12 Font this is all about 6 Font. But yes we got one so i think you have been told porkies. No quick start guide though.

No Service History book told that is all online now.

Did it come with a full size book back holder? a really small one? or were all the booklets loose?

It came with a proper full size wallet holder - which is what's made me continue to wonder.
We got a black 'fabric; type wallet with stitching - not particularly substantial/but flimsy (not mine copied from web)

James, you know about these things. If I were to go back to the dealer and explain that I would like a manual, how hard/expensive would it be for them to sort it out?

Realistically, it should be of minimal inconvenience and cost to them. They could easily borrow one from another vehicle to make you happy.

That's how my Ateca came in 2016. Just a few pages. You download the pdf. Have phablet so have them downloaded to that plus the Erwin manuals. Can always have a good read wherever I am if need be.

Manuals and brochures went the same way a few years back (10 or so). Online. Might be that Cupra give them you in a presentation gold case but probably not 😉. Gold edged pages 🤣. Seat drivers PDF.
