Now, good news  re WLTP for the Golf

At least its confirmed on the VW website that Golfs are now WLTP approved. https://www.volkswagen.co.uk/owners/wltp

But is it only some or all Golf models that have been WLTP type approved? Looking at the latest price list, in the ‘WLTP type approved’ column not all 2019 models are showing a ‘yes’. None of the performance Golfs have a ‘yes’ in the WLTP approved column.

So looks like it might be mid to late November for WLTP approval for the GTI Performance as per watchdog’s post earlier in this discussion thread;

I sent VW an email on Monday of this week asking for a latest update for my order and their email response confirmed they are expecting to be WLTP compliant for the Golf GTI, middle to late November.
2020 Polo GTI Plus; Pure White, DSG (because they all are)
Gone but not forgotten;
2016 Polo GTI; Blue Silk
2011 mk6 Golf GTD; Carbon Grey
2007 mk5 Golf GT (2.0 170bhp TDI version); Deep Black Pearl
2002  mk4 Golf GTI (the 150 bhp diesel version); Deep Black Pearl

Current ADAC list shows that the VAG Group 2.0 TSI engines as WLTP certified are Cupra Ateca 300hp, Seat Leon 190hp and 190 / 240hp Octavia's.

I'm surprised they are shipping them without certification.

Mine's the 1.5tsi petrol r-line according to the earlier post on the VW website, price list for 2019 it's passed.

VW Online Chat are no longer giving out updates on orders, they say you need to contact your dealer. This is my first VW and i've been shocked by the appalling customer service from VW UK compared to Audi. It's all well having a nice myvw app if the thing actually worked but it doesn't and they admitted last week they was having problems with it.
