Title: Model updates?
Post by: JellyCat on 29 January 2010, 08:02

Hi.

There was some rumours \ posts late last year about changes to the 2010 Golf (keyless entry \ LED lights as an option \ also release of a new version of the RCD510 \ RSN510 (called the 520 lol?).

Anyone picked up anything?

2011 models will be announced and come out this year as Snoopy has suggested.

Just to clear this up.
Cars delivered from ~June 2009 are model year 2010.
Cars delivered from ~June 2010 are model year 2011.
There is also normally a slight tiny tweek to the spec around Noverber each year. ~BW46
VW do not work on calander years when it comes to model years.

Years of dealing with VWs, but i also use to have a contact who supplied me with a copy of the info supplied to the dealers by VW when i was involved with the mk5's and i use to post the MY info up on another forum most years.

To back up Snoopy's post, My car that I ordered in July 09 was classed as a 2010 build even although it arrived October 09.

I ordered my ED30 in March 2007 and it arrived in June 2007 - a MY07 car.
If it'd been about 3 weeks later it would have been a MY08 car.

Its pretty annoying, but most of the stuff was pointless.  The Air Con button changed to Econ, the symbols on the wiper stalk changed a bit, and the stereo came with MP3 playback - which mine didn't!

I would bet keyless entry would be a cost option, as would LED rear lights.
A new RNS though?  Could be interesting!

You could wait forever buying a VW, as every 6 months they change something!
