Hi all,
Been lurking for a while. Great site by the way much busier than tyresmokes gti forum
Having recently sold my Clio V6 I'm on the lookout for an edition 30, DSG
Does anyone have a list of what the ed 30 came with as standard? (i.e mfsw, auto dip rear mirrior? etc) and what options were available?
Also what are the service intervals?
Many thanks in advance :wink:

Welcome ! I drove past one of them V6 Clios the other day actually, don't see many about, awesome (if not a little mental) car them.
I'm pretty sure if you go on the VW website and pretend to price up a brand new GTI (to my knowledge the only thing different in the ED is colour coded bumpers, pescara alloy wheels and KO4 turbo along with real minor stuff) it then gives you the list of options you can tick. I can tell you now mfsw isn't standard but auto dip rear mirror is.
-
neither is an armrest which I find shocking :angry:

Don't forget that the hallf leather heated seats are standard too.. :wink:

10,000 miles on time and distance service, further on long-life servicing.
Me, I have a T&D service but use Long Life Oil.
-
You can have Time and distance(T&D) or variable. The T&D is as it says 10k or 12months, the variable, the cars ECU monitors the condition of the oil and adjusts the intervals accordingly. This means you could potentially go 2 years(20K) between services if you do a lot of motorway miles etc which is kinder on the oil. Personally I always have mine set to T&D and use the longlife oil just to be on the safe side with a performance engine :smiley:HTH

They only made 356 Clio V6's (mk2) and mine was one of 36 in Titanium silver and also one of the last made. It was a great car, I'd originally planned on keeping it for ever but my lifestyle changed completely and it became impractical as a daily driver and hence the reason I sold it. As a second car for weekend/special occasions not much comes close but when used everyday it becomes slightly uncomfortable and at times just bloody annoying.
Tried going onto VW and speccing a new one but the MK5's have been replaced with the MK6..... don't suppose nayone has a list pretty please? For instance does high line come as standard and is there even any such thing?
Many thanks

High line is NOT standard and yes there are two different types of computers, high line and mid line which look like:
Midline - (http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b93/sukh16v/DSC03334.jpg)
Highline - (http://www.golfmkv.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=6350&stc=1&d=1169459769)
As you can see they look slightly different and you can so slightly more with the highline adjusting a few more bits and bobs.

If you download the R32 pdf brochure it has the Pirelli GTI spec listed as well :wink: The Pirelli GTI had rear tints, centre arm rest and Ipod doc (not sure about the last one) as standard over the Edition 30. The price of the Pirelli did reflect this though.
-
I made a table in excel using the price configurator thing for the mk5. If I can get it up on here, you'll be able to see the extras that you can pay for, but not what came as standard (most sites advertising the GTI will have those listed as "features").

Brilliant thanks for this. Is my understanding correct, if a car has the MFSW then it means it also has highline display which you need if wanting to retrofit bluetooth phone pack? Also do all ed 30's with DSG have paddle shifts?
Thanks for bearing with my newbie/annoying questions :rolleyes:
-
You can have a MFSW with the midline computer however you lose some function such as being able to change track number from the steering wheel. TBH most people that speced a MFSW also speced the highline so its unlikely you will find one without although I know of a member on here who has midline with MFSW.
All DSG GTIs come with paddle shifts.

As I recall, it was an optional extra.

On the first of the original GTi, yes .... but I thought they were standard on all DSG Edition 30's ??

It was an option at first but was standard later on :smiley:

I think I have a list of all the options and prices somewhere....I'll try and dig it out over the weekend if I get chance and post my findings :smiley:

I tried to get it up as a table within the post but failed multiple times. Note that I couldn't be arsed to ctrl+r some of the prices over from pirelli to ED30 but they're the same cost.
