MK7 GTI Facelift

Fog lights, fog lights, fog lights...........................................

Surely there must be something more interesting about the facelift than fogs or no fogs? Come on chaps and chapesses!

Maybe there is, but if you had ordered a brand new car and it turned up and didn't meet the specification listed by the manufacturer would you just accept it?

Just been messing with the Audi Q3 configurator, where the headlights are termed "All Weather LED".

Is this why our fogs have been deleted? Yes, I know it has previously been suggested that the LED headlights will do the job of the fogs, but this adds weight to that arguement, doesn't it?

That being the case, maybe the others WITH fogs don't have the LED light pack? Or that if say in Germany the default is Xenons, which come with fogs, then you add the optional LED headlight, you still keep the fogs?

And I disagree that this isn't an important issue to try to figure out!

The headlights in Ireland are the same as those in the uk - the new led units. And Irish cars have the fogs, certainly the half dozen facelifts I've seen anyway.

Has anyone seen on page 2 of the latest pricelist dated 6/4/17 there is a small box listing changes between 21/3/17
and 6/4/17 which says led headlights with dynamic light assist are now a no cost option on GTi/GTD and R models ?
Am I right in thinking this cost £310.00 when the launch pricelist came out ? - on page 25 of the pricelist it shows
that it is still £310.00 extra on GTE and e-Golf and £1285.00 extra on the SE Navigation,GT and R-line models.
BUT - in the same paragraph it says "only in conjunction with lane assist" - so to have this means you need to specify either lane assist with dynamic light assist and traffic sign recognition costing £630.00 or lane assist
with dynamic light assist/traffic sign recognition AND rear traffic alert plus traffic jam assist for £1225.00 - and this
latter option is only for DSG gearbox cars with both options only for 5 door models !!
So,in summary,it's not really a no cost option (unless I'm missing something) and also has any of this got anything to
do with - FOG LIGHTS !!

Just realised i've made an error ! - dynamic light assist is £310.00 extra on the GTE and GTE Advance models and £1285.00 extra on SE Navigation, GT and R-line models - all other points raised remain.

[MEZZA]

Actually,got it right the first time (just left out GTE Advance) !!

just reading the standard extras it says curtain airbag system for front/rear passengers is fitted as standard but it seems to be in the extras too...

Tell me if I'm being a fool, but isn't the specification of a product, & correct pricing of such, a pretty basic requirement of a car company?

Yes unless it is on Volkswagen's website 😂 I think they dispensed with the proof readers a long time ago. Somewhere in little letters it will have a get out clause if there are errors and omissions. Trouble is if you go to a dealer they very often are not much help and muddy the water even more. Such is life 
.....I have a good salesman though.. should have him shot and stuffed and put on a wall !!

Not really what I said was it? I don't disagree with you but the huge number of posts and opinions on the subject so far has not really answered the question, unfortunately you may only find out for sure when you go to see your car. Which is a shame although personally I wouldn't be quite so bothered.
