Mk7.5 Golf - News and Discussion Thread

[onelouder]

My dealer just emailed me to confirm that my R 7.5 Wolfsburg wagon should arrive in Oz around mid August (2017), but other orders are going to be much later (possibly December 2017). If I get it sometime in September I'll be happy.

He thought the delay was due to a shortage of supply for the active info display units . I seem to recall a similar problem with the display units for the Octavia vRS a few years ago which led to very long waiting times. I guess this is something that happens with the lean production methods (just-in-time sometimes isn't) VAG use these days (like everyone else).

I've rung around a few dealers. I've found one car I can get in November. I'm really pissed off that my original dealer wasn't able to get me one of the august ones given how long ago I put down a deposit. I've been told there a few arriving in august, and then the bulk will be later. Same story about the active displays.

That's great! Any rumour that the launch dates for performance range are gonna be pushed back? I have emailed my dealer to ask about it. Still waiting for a reply.

Can anyone help with my Golf Gti facelift 2017 settings? I have the outer DRL and blinkers working, but not the inner ones. I see that there are bulbs inside the inner stripes but they for some reason are not illuminated.

I would like to make it work so that both DRL stripes are illuminated and also the inner blinker would blink.

Anyone knows how to do it already for the facelift?

Sorry to be out of topic here,but you already took delivery for the gti facelift version? Care to share some specs with us?🙃 Didn't get much details from dealer though.

Oh right, cheers. Interesting they've changed it - thought Lapiz would remain synonymous with the R.

Ralfi, Lapiz Blue is not synonymous with Golf R's, only the Mk 7. The Mk 6 was called Rising Blue, the Mk 5 R32 was called Deep Blue Pearl, all of which are slightly different colours. IMO that the Rising Blue was by far the nicest of all of the R blues.
