Lee, don't suppose the pictures you were referring to can be viewed on-line somewhere?
-
No sorry mate
Basically the left and right buttons on the m/f wheel are being chaged to a similar icon that is on the button in the left hand side of the speedo. Two little rectangles slightly overlapping each other.
The alloys are as the describe similar design to vancovers but painted like the mk5 charlestons were.

Lost me on this thread , what's so funny about led lights? :drool:
-
Probably cos folk were moaning that VW were adamant they weren't including the LED's as standard on the cars and now they have done just that.
-
Is that them all - or are there likely to be more?
Thats it at the moment anything else that happens of course I will post.
-
Or they could be laughing at the fact that most of us have paid an extra £400+ to get these installed.
But if you stop and think about it, we didnt have any f**kin choice. :rolleyes:

Maybe I now hope that mine stays at BW22 :wink:
Knowing how lucky i've been [NOT] it'll be brought forward!

Maybe will have to try and reject mine for its knackered gearbox and get me a new one with LEDs and non Vancouver Wheels for the same money.

I think they are laughing at the fact people have gone out and brought the rear LED`s but like you said how else would you get these if you have already brought your car, or they are laughing at other peoples misfortune. :undecided:

DSG gearboxes have Hill Hold. Manual gearboxes have to option it. It is not an expensive option (£73.91 + VAT - old price) which I am sure will be available as a retro-fit from KUFATEC eventually. :rolleyes:

When I got my GTI, I dont think that was an option to select at the time. :sad:
-
so does this mean that we can then get proper left hand drive VW LED lights and also the connectors (as didn't the guys who bought them so far need to make the connectors themselves?)
Bit pants that even up to mid April VW customer services were still saying there was no plans at all for LED lights in the UK - even as an option, but guess there has to be a cut over at some time!
-
These changes will be put the price of the car won't they? Gotto be more expensive car to buy?
-
All the retrofit guys have gone for the R ones anyway - which look much better with the darker glass.
VW generally don't raise their prices for a Model Year change if I remember correctly - but it will be added on at some point.
You'll probably find the LED lights are cheaper to make anyway.

Sorry for the stupidity of myself but week 22? Is that build week 22 of 2010 or 2011? Just with the title of the post being "Model Year Changes 2011" I'm getting a bit confused....
-
It will be year 2010.
Its a bit like next months magazines coming out with June emblazoned on them.

Bummer, mine was week 16! Never mind i'll have to get them upgraded myself.
-
Cheers p3asa
Better get onto the dealer to see what build week I have.
The first week quoted was 24th May (build week 21?) however he admitted that this would be guaranteed to be pushed out.
Looking pretty good for me :cool:
evo1986, do you work for VW??
-
Evo,
Do you know if the new PQ500 7-speed DSG box will be fitted to the GTI, GTD and R models. (It has already been announced for the Audi TT-RS, which has too much torque for any existing DSG box to handle.)
-
Coincidence?
Was about to phone my dealer to ask about an update on the build week and he phoned me!
Build week at week 22 at the moment but this could go back yet again
He couldn't confirm whether it would come with the changes and won't know until the car has been built.
Evo, maybe you know more?
Build week 22. Is that a definitive cut off date for the changes. Do some continue to be built with the pre-change detail after this date?
Knowing my luck, mines will be the last to roll off the line without the LED's!! :laugh:
-
I have no idea about a new dsg gearbox going in the gti/gtd/r etc of course if I get a sniff of it happening you guys will know. They are putting the 7spd dsg in the tiguan as of week 22 aswell which will have the 2.0 tsi 170/200ps and 140 tdi ps.
I would probably say the same about your build of week 22 best thing is probably speak to VW customer services there is a reason it has gone to week 22 I guess.
-
It seems a welcome change of tack that VW are adding things to the MY revisions, not removing things ala the mk5 ...
-
Evo,
I think you'll find that the 7-speed DSG is going into the GTI, GTD and R, VW just hasn't confirmed when. I had heard it was May, which seems to align with reports of other Week 22 mods. Given how new the R is, perhaps they've decided to wait until it has been out a bit. Whenever the new DSG box comes, it should deliver even better economy for hi-speed motorway cruising.
One other thing...
VW told me in January that they were working on on an upgraded OEM phone unit for the RNS510. This will enable a wider range of smart phones to work with it better.

Where have you got this information from for certain? I would rather state the facts and this is not the case yet, I am sure it will be but to say it is is not true yet anyway

Nothing on the list i would want anyway.
The GTI LEDs unless they have changed them from the optional GTI ones in Germany are too light red for my liking.

I agree. The light red GTi LEDs would look 'not nice' stuck on Wolfgang's pretty little arse!
Hill Hold might have been useful as it is not very expensive. However, no one at the dealership had any idea how it worked with a manual gearbox. Typical! It might be available as a retro-fit item too?
I am rapidly coming to the conclusion that it would probably be best to stick with the 'iconic' Golf tail lights for the time being!
How is Vicky. Have you finished lubing her? :smiley:

:grin: Front and rear arches done. Just the underneath to spray after i service the compressor and i can be bothered to do it. :smiley:
I don't think the bright red LEDs would work well on the shadow blue. Im not sure the dark R ones do.

As for hill hold never found the need. I can normally control with handbrake and clutch/throttle as its a manual.
I do seem to have an issues in stop start traffic with the manual gearbox/clutch/floor hindged throttle with what feels like a defined notch/step at the top of the clutch pedal movment. Every so often i seem to not be able to control throttle/clutch and have kangaroo'ed more than once :embarassed: normally 1 in 20 times :embarassed: embarassed
-
Hill hold for a manual??
Whatever next.
Does that mean there will be a special driving test soon without a hill start and you get a special licence like an automatic test???
-
Im guessing these are the GTI LEDs the UK will be getting ie the optional ones overseas for the GTI (less darkened than the R ones)

VW always upgrades its models (and its prices) on May 1. Incorporating the must-have LED rear lights will be hidden somewhere in the price hike. There's no such thing as a free lunch.
As for hill start control, this is standard fit on my Transit van (!) and really isn't that exciting.

So Hill Hold not worth getting?
What's happened to your beautiful signature?
I agree with you, there won't be such a thing as a 'free lunch' especially from VW!
-
Most of the revision changes sound good, especially the rear LED's, but what's this Hill Hold all about? I've got a handbrake, clutch and accelerator that does that quite nicely when coordinated properly.
-
Im still trying to figure out how the hill hold works on a manual car if you don't have an electronic handbrake. Anyone want to let me know. (Watch it be in the manual :grin: )

I've got it on a manual Passat (called auto hold on that car) and works the same way on the Golf, except on the Passat you can switch it on and off. All it does is use the ABS unit to hold the hydraulic line pressure to the brakes after you've come to a stop. When you go to pull away a switch on the clutch tells the ABS computer to release the line pressure in a controlled way, the brakes release and away you go.
It's just a convenience thing, useful but ultimately unnecessary in the same way DSG is.
-
Hopefully I'll have moved onto the RS3 by the time they stick the 7-speed DSG in. :wink: You can't hang around waiting forever...
You will definitely be getting a chariot for all intents and purposes! :evil:
Please do get it in silver as this would be most apt. :evil:

How? Me too? :smiley:
-
Hill hold
This is similar to autohold, but only keeps the car at a halt for approximately two seconds before it is released. This features on cars with traditional handbrakes.
-
As frog said i've got it on my works transit, can't tell you HOW it works just how it feels, when you stop on a slope using the foot brake with the clutch in and in gear, when you take your foot off the brake it still feels like the brakes are on for about 2 seconds after so you don't role back, it doesn't stop you pulling away quickly, it's quite a good feature but not really necessary if your good with the handbrake! :smiley: i've no idea how the brakes stay on without your foot on the pedal as i'm no mechanic so don't know if it would be retrofitable (if thats a real word).

....yeah and the s tronic box is better than the old DSG

Information of changes is corect. My dealer contact me today with the information of led.
My GTI is production 22 / 2010.
Dealer informed me about the price, of course some extra money, but for the moment ?
Story is from Croatia / Europe.
PS - UK forums are very good with plenty of informations.
Cheers.
-
I Now have the pictures to go with the model year changes.
Lets just say its kicked up an interesting question. :smug:
-
Can you post them? or is not worth it?
-
I will at some point but i have to do some cut and pasting first.
-
Good man :cool:
-
I read this:-
For 2011 the GTi gets an trim level overhaul, instead of starting from the base model and adding options (nav, xenons, etc) VW is now going to make 4 distinctive versions with set standard equipment, so here they are:
- GTI Base – includes: new RCD310 single disc CD player with satellite radio, leather steering wheel (same design as last year, without multifunction buttons)
- GTI w/ Sunroof – includes all of the above plus: Premium 8 touchscreen radio, leather multifunction steering wheel, power sunroof
- GTI w/ Sunroof and Navigation – includes all of the above plus: new RNS315 navigation system and bi‐xenon headlights with AFS
- GTI Autobahn – includes all of the above plus: leather top sport seats with V‐Tex leatherette door inserts, Dynaudio “Lite†and Smart Key keyless entry with push‐start/stop ignition
Other updates include a much improved and welcomed bluetooth system called 9W7 that will erase all the confusion and pain associated with the 9W3/9W2 systems and well as the following:
- 18‐inch “Detroit†alloy wheels now standard on all trim levels
- Rear side thorax airbags no longer available
- Voice‐controlled Bluetooth w/ audio streaming and phonebook download standard (9W7)
- GTI: new RCD310 single disc CD player with satellite radio
- GTI w/ Sunroof and Navigation and Autobahn Packages: New RNS315 navigation replaces RNS510 navigation
- GTI Autobahn: New Smart Key keyless entry with and push‐start/stop ignition
-
^ Thats America. Its similar to how they did the mk5 there too.
The Uk model year 2011 spec (Until ~ Week 48 when they often do slight tweek) is whats posted on page one.
-
Thought so, but interesting.
-
Whats AFS as in Bi xenons with AFS?

"same as currently on Golf R" so does that mean they will be smoked versions?! Let the speculation begin! :laugh:

Now you know what question it brought up for me that i posted about earlier :wink:

The pic with the steering wheel buttons doesn't make sense??? :huh: and it looks like the new ones will control the clock cos it's the same image thats by the rev counter.

Are we getting the RNS315 in the UK? If not, what is the state of play on the OEM bluetooth that only works with rSAP? I had contacted VW in January when they said that a new unit was in the works.
Even without mobile phone integration issues, I understand that VW are upgrading the satnav system to provide a range of improvements. More details please.
In the meantime, this is a terrific thread. Very interesting and helpful. Thank you

Much, much better than the standard lights.

But they are lighter than the 'R' versions though.
Which is better is a matter of taste. I like both!
I am getting the 'R' versions. :wink:

Still very light and i think probably lighter than the oem bulb lights. I have seen a massive amount of photos of the GTI Leds as im also on a german gti site were theres loads of build logs.
Im starting to warm to the oem bulb ones (runs and hides :laugh: )

And so you should. You wicked person!
I do prefer the 'R' LEDs and the OEM bulby ones are darker the GTi LEDs.
Both loveRly though. :smiley:

Both of the new LEDs are better then the old non-LED ones and I prefer the darker R ones as well. I can't justify buying the R LEDs ones though since my GTI came with the GTI LEDs from factory. :)
-
Hi Awry.
GTi LEDs will look fine on all colours but not on a red car probably! This is MO and taste.
Your LEDs look superb on your silver beauty.
The OEM Bulby thing-me-gigs look poo in comparison.
Rear LEDs are the best man-jewellery IMO! .... on a car! :laugh:
-
Be intersting to know if the GTI LEDs have the same connectors as the R LEDs :huh:
-
FAO EVO!!!! (or anyone else in the know)
Good news or bad news, I'm not sure...
Build week has been confirmed as week 22. Will this include the new lights, etc, etc???
Chuffed that it has been confirmed, but hope I don't miss out on extra toys for the sake of a week!!
Any thots folks?
-
^^^ - I'd hope so, Brig.
Clearlly VW are keeping the BW's pretty tight right now.
If this is BW20 and you've just been told your confirmation of BW22 then there's consistency in that I should know 'in a week or two' that my BW [provisionally 24] will be confirmed.

Wooohooo, dealer just confirmed that my ordered car will include the new rear LED lights.
Build week was confirmed as BW23. Must say that I do prefer the darker R ones but definitely better than the current stock ones.
I saw somewhere that the keyless start was also being introduced, i take it life is not to kind for this to be included.

I am pretty sure that another 2011 mod will be the new 7-speed DSG box, which can handle much more torque than the existing 6-speed one. VW is keeping pretty tight-lipped about this but it goes into the Audi TT-RS from September and is expected to be rolled out across all VW/ Audi Group cars with 170 bhp plus thereafter. It will certainly arrive by May 2011, because VW likes to keep the number of components it needs to store in parts inventories to a minimum. Once it goes in, you essentially have the 2014 Mk VII Golf GTI minus new bodywork and 20 bhp.

And the manual 6 speed gearbox will remain as it is as you cannot improve on perfection! :laugh:
