From the dealer who just finished training a week ago. P.S. The GTD was classified as a sales failure, not a sales success in OZ - very low numbers, lowest of any Golf ever I was told. Nothing wrong with the car - I believe VW should have spent some time & effort in marketing it - unfortunately it was almost invisible to the average buyer - the enthusiasts knew of it.

Hopefully they will change their mind further down the track (like they did with the Scirocco).

Ok thanks Guy, looks look my sensible plan of trading down from GTI to GTD is switching to trading up to the R!

Well that makes sense since the whole cooling system acts as a heatsink - you'd see the coolant temp rise alarmingly before any IC heatsoak became apparent. The downside is that the cylinder inlet temp will always be above the coolant temp (but consistently so).

Real shame about the GTD not getting to us
