POLO MY13 Changes

[gavs]

No it's not, the very first gear selectors were the old, square-type selector.



the dealer demo would be a later model, there is no way they would still have a MY10 GTI there, it would be MY11.5 at the earliest. Did it have climatronic? WHat colour was the display if it did?

If it was MY10, it would have also had the 12v power socket in the boot.

Thinking about it, isnt this MY13 timeframe around the same time when the change to the new engine code was due to come through as well? I believe that change of code denotes the different pistons/rings as its major change?

I dont know if this is correct but i read this here: UK-POLOS.NET • View topic - 2012 GTI
So, if its incorrect then I am happy to edit it of course...

-----
From May 2012 any car ordered will have the "CTHE" engine code.

This is to try and get rid of the following issues with the cars.....

The ecu upgrades
fuel pump issues
piston rings
spark plugs etc

MY13 model polo GTI's will have 17" Detroit alloys. Production commences June 2012.

That's all for for now.....

GRR...that would be right, really wanted these instead of Denver's (again). Nice of VGA to finally get with the program

Bastards, my production week was apparently last week (unless it got delayed). Naturally, I tried getting Detroits with my order to no avail. Thanks VW!

Suppose I'll have to import them using the money I get refunded on the now-standard audio/comfort packs which I paid for. I do get those refunded, right?

Well I didn't, the reason given was because I already got a good discount plus my order ended up being transferred to another dealership,
(don't ask, long story) but this made renegotiating the refund being off the table....at least the Bluetooth was free and the hole in the dash is such an unwanted tacky bonus!
You may fare better, have you actually asked your salesperson?

I'd be taking all information in those posts -including my own- with a grain of salt because they are only opinions and speculation at this point. It would be a very brave person to rely on that information as gospel...

If you enter CTHE in to Google the only references returned are forum posts like these Haven't seen any official docs at all.

[gavs]

You won't know when they go in until someone can plug in a VCDS cable and it tells them that a CTHE is installed, IF they ever do get installed...

[JonW]

Sorry guys, I shouldnt have added the engine info in here, its muddying the waters... sorry. For sure the wheels are the MY13 spec (its the only change anyone can say for sure) and that starts production in June.

So guys, in conclusion the first batch of MY13 will arrive in Australia shores and dealer backyard and ready for delivery in July? (assume manufactured in May) with 2 months lead time from production to showroom per JonW on: http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/foru...ect-68656.html

[JonW]

I dont think so... first MY13 cars will be mid June, so delivery in Aus is +2mths, ie end August at the earliest.
