Thanks for the info Neil.

My worst nightmare that the spare wheel has been taken. Worst idea to hit car manufactures ever! Will there be an option for a spare wheel instead!

 

Not sure yet. We will get full info shortly. My guess is there will but will post up as soon as we know.

Cheers

I agree one of the reason I didnt buy a TT

 

Hi, Do you have any idea when these changes will take effect? I'm picking mine up on Friday and mine has the new style multifunction steering wheel . so I'm thinking this must be the 2011 spec

Yours will be 2010 Model Year spec. These changes haven't been introduced in production at the factory yet.

 

hey evil cheers for that , hope the changes are not going to major or i will be a bit pi***d that i did not wait

I agree entirely with you. The tub of gunge and an electric airpump in the boot just don't work as and when you do get a puncture, just ask the AA - they're dealing with 2,000 a day in the UK. I desperately hope there will be an option to have a full spare wheel.

I think I read it wrong, as in they will put these new tyres on as standard and keep the spare wheel. Well I hope so!

Cant see them offering a full spare wheel as this will put nearly £500 on the cost of the car and also they would have to make the boot floor pan deeper or lose boot space to accommodate the deeper wheel

Ok, but I just don't want to lose the existing steel space saver spare wheel as an option. These self-sealing tyres are only currently fitted by VW to the Passat CC and that's got a full size alloy spare wheel.

 

I've just been informed by my dealer today, that folding electric wing mirrors are now standard kit on GT models. He said that when they processed the order (I had specified folding wing mirrors), they got an error message saying that the wing mirrors were now included as standard.

I'll be honest, that's news to me. I can't find any bulletin from VW that suggests that and i've just tried to spec amend a stock car that hasn't gone to build yet and it let me add folding mirrors.

I'm not saying that i'm right but I would double check with your dealer in case there was a glitch. The system we use to order vehicles wouldn't display a message such as the mirrors are now standard, it would simply tell you that there was a specification error and we would call Volkswagen to explain.

I hope your dealer is right but as I said, I haven't heard anything.....

I ordered mine yesterday and folding mirrors where still a chargeable optional extra.

Electric folding wing mirrors are not standard in the uk on the GT I've been to 3 VW Dealers and was offered them for £135!! so not sure if and when this will take affect

Thanks

Thanks for clearing that up,

 

I see all these posts are from earlier in the year. I take it if we ordered today we'd get the hill start on manual, electrically folding mirrors etc?

 

Electric folding mirror aren't standard (UK anyway).

Hill hold on manual is standard now.
