MK VI Golf in Adelaide

[WEDEL.1]

Captured at the Mile End Service Centre today. I was told it arrived yesterday.





I wandered down to the Medindie Sales Centre to check an accessory and found a red in the showroom. I was waiting for an invite to the Official SA Launch, with vasts amount of German Bier. Alas, not going to happen

Just noticed the twin pipes out the back does this mean it has a DPF fitted or just an upgraded exhaust for a standard 2.0 TDI?

And what's with the colour, (maybe it's reflex silver in the shade) or yet another near perfect road surface colour match

From memory (after a Brandy & coke & 4 Biers) it was silver. Pics not that good cause I left my camera home (after being at the Caravan & Camping Show) & I used Julias. it had a macro setting i couldn't remove + flat batteries .

PS: It looks really good. Looked at the VIN code & saw the letter W for Wolfsburg .

It will probably take a while to grow on me, it has a concept car look about it to me. Will probably look much better with window tint and some plates on it and all the usual goodies that people like yourself and I would fit to it ie mud flaps, weathershields etc.... all the things most of the youngin's nowadays think look old fashioned and uncool they seem to be into the chipped paintwork look I think it adds to the style myself as long as you don't go overboard

I'm pretty sure the TDI has a DPF now, it is now using the same common-rail TDI as used in the Tiguan which has a DPF.

I think the colour of that one is called Silver Leaf.

There's silver TDI on the showroom floor at Camberwell VW (Melbourne) with sun roof and leather.

The sales guy didn't seem to know a whole lot about it. Looks nice, an evolution.

Forgot to mention the red one in the showroom had the net under the rear parcel tray, as the MK V GTI, and this was a 2L TDI!

TED,funnily enough I saw the Silver one at Camberwell on my way home from work tonight.
My first impressions are that it looks VERY much like the A5,more like a major facelift than a brand new shape.

Slightly off topic (sorry) but if anyone buys from Camberwell VW make sure you check that the compliance plate matches the car, I've just experienced that with a Golf that was sold new by them and obviously they were a bit relaxed on the pre delivery day because they didn't pick up an error on the plate, and it was a PITA to resolve.
