Third wave of New Golf engines confirmed for launch

[linc-dub]

I am sure VW uk will update there price lists and apologise soon......

Don't know why sport and sound pack isn't an option yet. It was a really well priced and cool option on MK7 GTD so hopefully it will become an option again soon. However not many people choose it so maybe because of little uptake, I think they should make it standard and just put the price up....

Evo1986 you are spot on - can you use your inside influence with VW to rectify the situation quickly?  Where would you advise we e-mail to complain to VW UK about their shortcomings?

I tagged along on a BMW shopping trip recently. The difference between the BMW dealer and the VW dealers was stark.

We had phoned ahead to tell them we were interested in viewing a particular car. When we arrived <1 hour later, the car in question was parked at the door, ready for demo. We were introduced to a "product guy" - basically a BMW-nerd who was able to explain every little detail about the car and we couldn't catch him out on any questions. He had swallowed the product guide  That guy took us for a test drive (after explaining how he had kindly left the air-con running for us before we arrived to ensure the car was comfy).

Only when we got back from the test drive did the salesman take over - and again he was very courteous and professional. Knew his stuff inside out.

It was a very enlightening experience (being more used to VW dealers).

Did he show the indicators working on it?  Apparently all MY 2017 cars are now fitted with indicators as standard, but this could be just a rumour.

I've just done that and Mohammed spoke to the Technical Sales Team and gave this response;

If you come back to us in a couple of weeks we may have some positive information regarding front fog lights.  We haven't released anything officially yet, so I'm unable to comment further, but we at expecting some new direct information about the front fog lights being on GTD / GTI's.
