How did it go on collection day mate ? Hope all went smoothly



Well didn’t quite get it last week, they found a split pipe on PDI so had to wait until today. Here it is  :cool:

Looks cracking mate!

Love the colour  :wink:

Thank you, really happy with it.

Only had it 24 hours and I really don't see what the problem with the infotainment system is and the lack of buttons. Everything seems easy to find and works, i'm comparing it to my audi and feel the VW version is better!

Just been given an estimated June 2023 build. Ordered in Oct 21.
To say I’m sick of waiting is an understatement!

you're not far off what I had to wait there unfortunately. If it helps, mine was worth the wait!

so far so good with the clubsport, however it has the annoying problem of being in sport mode but not fully in sport mode unless you tell it to, as with the previous model. So, start the car and it's in sport mode, but if I press the sport mode again it seems to wake the exhaust up. If I don't press it again then the exhaust doesn't pop, press it and it does. Not that I care about the exhaust noise, just strange it doesn't stay fully in sport.

Everything except the gearbox will be in sport after you restart...

Just flick the chicken nugget if you want sport gearbox again. Quickest...

It stays in sport mode for sure, but the exhaust doesn't seem to unless you hit the button again. Pop and bangs only happen if I press the sport button again. Like I said though, this is no bad thing as pootling around town doing 20 - 30mph and it going pop pop pop is probably too much for me  :grin:

It's the over run on S mode...

Try it in some other mode and flick the chicken nugget to S
