I reckon April is worst case scenario because of WLTP, I don’t think anyone at VW has a clue when it will get certified. Mine has officially been built this week but they’re telling me I won’t be getting my hands on it till December because it’s not had WLTP certification and it won’t be likely to till then. Could happen any day though, i genuinely don’t think the dealers or customer service know when. I ordered at the end of July

I’ve ordered Indium Grey 5 dr with DCC as the only extra. Not had DCC or DSG or 245hp before so should be a bit of a change up for me.

Very basics apart, i am not technically gifted when it comes to knowing all about engines, but does anyone know what the likely outcome will be in VW proving that the cars are WLTP compliant.  Are we likely to see a reduction in performance / power for the GTI PP?

No, it will remain at 242bhp as shown on the MY2019 price list, it’s only the R that has had a reduction in power to comply with WLTP

Had my 7.5 PP since March this year, there is another 7.5 PP local to me that i see around as well, but thats the only other one ive seen!
Is that me??

Gotta be, it is a tornado red!

I have owned a Mk 7.5 GTI PP DSG for a year next month and have not seen any other Mk 7.5 GTIs of any type on the road at all in S. Wales

Had mine a month, only 400 miles but I love it. Massive difference after being in LR Discovery’s for nearly 14 years
