Mk7.5 Golf - News and Discussion Thread

[GabrielT]

Hi everyone! Just spoke to my friend who works for Vw, he had training on the golf range today. So l ask about the Dynaudio if it's going to be a option in the gti and R. He told me it will be.
Also gti and R has been pushed back till October-November.

Wad?! Hmmm haven't heard this news from my dealer. Mine is supposed to be due end of August. Already got built email though. Wouldn't be happy if they sat on it for so many months.

[Mr T.]

I've been told my Wolfsburg wagon should be delivered "around the end of August" (2017). According to the build info sent to me it was planned for build in week 26, so end of August delivery seems about right.

Some salespeople have absolutely no idea. At another local dealer one tried to tell me price info wasn't available yet, and they wouldn't be delivered until some time in 2018. I waited a few days, they didn't get back to me as promised (I must admit I wasn't at all surprised) so I bought from the dealer that seemed to know what was going on. Price wasn't negotiable (and the dealer charges were so high I mentally labelled them as a "Wolfsburg tax").

I hope you are right! I was told November for my Wolfie

My salesman ballsed up told me 7th june when he should have said 7th august....
Not happy jan got me all excited for nothing

Is this dealer delivery date? Or arrival at importer date?

He also told me the Wolfsburg 's builds are scattered over A period of time. So I think that's why some people getting early and some getting later delivery dates.

He just told me golf gti and r, the performance is the gti right? So l would include that too.

That's interesting. Will check with my dealer tmr. Was told that last week that they will have a demo gti and r in sometime July for test drives. Wasn't notify (at least for now) that there was any delay for an end of August delivery. Fingers crossed. Toes too.😶

Was looking at the video review of the new golf R-Line on caradvice.com.au. It looks like the R-Line has only one LED DRL/indicator on each side unlike the UK model which has two. Did anyone notice that at dealerships? I visited a dealership that had an R Line on display a few weeks ago but don't recollect how the DRLs looked . Hope the GTI has two on each side!

Seems like you're right.

There's a picture with just one LED DRL on each side.

Seriously hope not the case in the gti. Will be reconsidering getting it this is true and if there is a delay in launch. Sigh.
