Volkswagen Golf, Golf Wagon and Jetta Model Year (MY12) 2012 Changes

[SilvrFoxX]

"The Golf R 3 Door manual and DSG models have been discontinued"

Excuse my ignorance guys but really? Stupid decision by VW in my opinion. Will this someday become the fate of the GTI as well? I cant stand the look of the 5 door MK6 o_O

very old conversation mate.. it was done to balance the introduction of the scirrocco

Hi All , No sure if this is the correct place to ask this, but if I'm in the wrong place I'msure the friendly folk here will direct to the correct site.

I'm looking at doing a deal for my niece on a new 90TSI auto .One dealer says the my12 has blue tooth AND MDI while the other say it only has BLUE TOOTH and MDI is a extra cost option . Can anybody shed light on this . And perhaps what sort of deals can be driven on these cars. Thanks .

Hey mate, Welcome. There is heaps of info here and links to other sites like:

Volkswagen Australia Passenger Vehicle Model Year 2012 (MY12) Changes | my-gti.com
here is the info your after

Golf, Golf Wagon-Bluetooth connectivity is standard for Trendline models (and above) exc. BlueMotion
Golf, Golf Wagon-Media Device Interface (MDI) is standard for Comfortline models (and above)

Thanks for that . So because there is no comfort line in the 90 tsi blue tooth only is standard .right?. Amazing how some dealers don't know their product.

How keen is the pricing on these things . How does $27500 drive away for an auto MY12 sound?

Is that the current driveaway pricing deal?

My first question after picking up a new 2011 103TDI 6 speed auto Comfortline yesterday.
The 10th letter in my vin is "B" indicating 2011. I have driven one with a "C" vin being a 2012. Are these two cars identical? I ask as my perception is that my "B vin" 2011 isn't as smooth as the 2012 car. I may be wrong as my car only has 50km on the clock and obviously has to be run in but the other car that I drove was also a 50km car.

Letter C indicates MY12 - your car is an MY11 - B/tooth & MDI are a factory option in the MY11 but may have been ordered by the dealer with the car?

Can you tell from the VIN what options the car has been fitted with?

no look in the service book and there is a sticker with all the options code behind the front cover

All Audis and Porsches use a similar system - if you google the codes, it will tell you what they are.
