Discovered earlier - no under seat storage drawers?! Kept my ice scraper in there  :rolleyes:

Sootchucker discovered this and I believe he fitted the under seat drawers from his mk7 GTD into his new mk7.5 GTI

Both 7.5 PP and both DSG? If so in what way does the car feel different? Plain curiosity

Previous was std with 6-DSG and this one Performance with 7-DSG.

I’ll wait to comment properly although I know a previous thread did the same comparison.

Intially though the car feels much light, steering even in sport doesn’t seem as weighty. No DSG farts so missing those already but more engine and exhaust noise and less fake noise in the cabin (even in sport).

I see, interesting. So the DSG7 comes with the PP exclusively? I thought it was the default (and only) DSG option in the 7.5.

No idea why you lost your farts  :tongue: but this has to do with the ECU map rather than the box (considering they are both DSG), and I would not think the PP has a less aggressive map than the non-PP, weird...

I still think I'd exploit the chance of having to change cars to sample an R though, second 7.5 GTI in a row shows some commitment!

Stunning mate absolutely love that colour

How you finding the PP upgrades so far?  The gearbox just gets better and faster with more miles  :smiley:

Just those dsg farts missing but the exhaust is way louder and has proper growl to it once it beds in  :cool:

I'm obviously biased but Tungsten is the best colour.
TCR, Pure Grey, DCC, Dynaudio and Climate Screen.

AS McMaddy said, underseat drawers it seems were deleted mid/late 2017. I have indeed added them (and it's a piece of pi55), took me all of 20 minutes each side and hides that horrible gap.

In the end I didn't strip them off the GTD, as my dealer supplied a new set for me (as I said I'd fit them).

I’d be interested to get a price. Feel like VW need a email asking where they’ve gone!
