Ordered a Golf GTD today. The spec is as follows
3 door manual
Tornado Red
18" Charlestons
ACC
Xenons
RCD510 c/w DAB
Winter Pack
Delivery probably January/February
I got a wee bit of a discount and 3 year service plan thrown in
It's going to be a long wait
-
Oh hesitant will at least the snow will be gone by then :wink:
Maybe worth getting your name down on the list for a Bluetooth in the mk6 section?

Bluetooth is now standard Doc :nerd:
Very nice spec.
Will be a long wait.

Nice spec. Had my GTD just over 2 months now and really enjoying it. It'll be worth the wait! :smiley:
-
I would highly recommend the Flat Tyre Indicator for £40 but you must tell them when you order as they say it can't be enabled afterwards but I probably can if the right ABS module is fitted. That was the best option that I had when I ordered mine for £35.

Quick question - does the 2012 GTD come with the LED rear lights as per the Golf R?

Quick question - does the 2012 GTD come with the LED rear lights as per the Golf R?
The one i looked at in the dealers earlier this week it had the lighter red LED ones rather than the dark red LED ones of the R.
The same as the Mr F's GTD on this thread below
http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=195702.0
IIRC the GTD now comes with leather seats and LED number plate lights as standard.
Like keith i would suggest you add TPMS as it is a handy thing to have for £40
Keithuk
Is there different verison of the ABS unit that do not allow retrofitting of the TPMS?
-

It should. Mine's a 2012 model and it's got LED rear lights, plus you get LED rear number plate lights as well.

Cheers.
I have now added the flat tyre indicator for £40
-
You do get rear LED lights as standard now, though as snoopy says the ever so slightly lighter units.
If you can, I would change your order to include the tyre indicator and also a rear view camera, so wish the camera was on the options list when I ordered mine. Now looking at a retrofit as the rear visibility when reversing is woeful!
But even if you ignore all the extra advice after you've ordered...She'll be here in no time and you'll be happy. Be nice to the dealer once every couple of weeks with a courtesy call to track your order progress. In my humble it makes the whole process work well.

Thanks Mr_F. I have now added the flat tyre indicator to my order.
As for the dealer, I have bought 7 VWs from them over the past 12 years. I am on first name terms with my salesman and the sales manager :smiley: Therefore I don't foresee any problems from the dealer. Its all down to VW now
-
Andywell;
'Scuse me buttin in; but as others have said I'd really recommend adding the reversing camera to your car as it's such a bargain at the options price. I had to retrofit it (well, Steve P did) and although he did me a good price and great service - it's still lots more than from factory. It's a really useful addition; not just a gimmic.
just my tuppenth worth though :smiley:
-
But if he wants DAB radio he cannot have the camera,
I would recomend parking sensors or the luxury pack just so you get the dipping passenger mirror when reversing to save your alloys as the golfs wider than most people think.
-

Oh I forgot to mension, I wish I had ordered these after driving it for a while not so much for the back but the bonnet drops of quite sharply so you have to guestimate.
-
:embarassed: Ah; yeah. Hadn't noticed need for DAB.
ALSO; ANdy - Lux packa good move - wish I could retrofit teh mirror drop, but don;t think it's feasible / cost effective.

Could be wrong but I'm sure I read this was purely software driven and can be activated with VAG.COM? I have it and it is a great addition in helping to keep the alloys good.
-
Sadly not a vagcom mod as you need extra wiring and sensors in the pass mirror :sad:
-
I have now added flat tyre indicator and luxury pack to my spec. Not bothering with the reversing camera as I tend to avoid parking in tight spaces or near other cars if I can avoid it

Welcome to the world of the big black abyss!
Have you got the "supposed" delivery date etched up on the bed post yet?
-
The RCD 510 works great with the parking sensors if you can find the dosh. If you want to upgrade the rcd to rns these guys will take it in part ex :grin: www.satnavsystems.com/ and they come to your house or place of work. Great car mate and the leather and phone prep what a bonus :grin: Althou i like the cloth in Gtd and Gti. Roll on the new year then.

I reckon it will be the middle of February. Should I drive my Scirocco like a hire car until then? :evil:

I ordered a Golf GTI in middle of Sept and I'm still waiting for the order to be accepted, please keep us up to date as interested in how long it takes for yours.
-
Just had my VW dealer on the phone with an update on the Golf. He tells me it is scheduled to be built in week 48 (next week) so I can expect delivery in early January :) :smiley:
-
Good News! What's the first things your going to do with her after the initial Ooooohness!

Full paintwork protection probably with Auto Finesse products. I have mild OCD when it comes to keeping my cars clean :embarassed:
-
Just had an update from the dealer. My car is on a ship from Germany due to dock in Newcastle this evening. Things are looking good for me taking delivery of the car next week :smiley:
-
Finally picked up my GTD last Friday :smiley:. It was actually at the dealers on the 22nd December but they couldn't register it due to the DVLA having an extended Christmas break.
1st impressions are good. The Golf seems a more refined than my previous Scirocco and the 170 diesel engine feels very torquey.
-
Piccies?
Congrats on the new car. Good to hear your first impressions are positive :smiley:

Ordered my GTD the same time you ordered your Roc and I'm getting mine on thurs too.....
-
Ordered mine on Oct 8th and collecting Thursday as well. You can see VW are reporting record profits. Well actually ordered on 4th but went back to change/add some extras on the 8th. Lol
-
Mine was Oct 25th...I'm getting cruise fitted by the dealer, a nice chap called Cliff told me via pm about this...it makes it cheaper than factory :smiley: @ £188 fitted!
-
So there should be a few pics from members come next weekend.... :cool:
-
Indeed will post up some pics kind of glad it was a little delayed as will come with a 12 plate now :cool:
-
Off to Paintshield next weekend to have the front done with paint protection film.
-
Are either of you (Robocop or Kerrse) going to see your motors before thurs? Or have you done so already?

No not seen mine yet hopefully it is all ok as won't see it till it arrives
-
No, not seen mine yet.
I had a call from the dealer in December, who informed me it was ready for shipping early :laugh: and I could, if I wanted, have it ready for the New Year. It was due to land in the UK in mid January, but I'd already decided to delay it and have it on a "12" plate.

Finding it hard to concentrate at work with only 2 more days to go :grin:

-
Wish I'd taken time off on the delivery day, I had all manor of fun, some good some bad!
Definatley a good idea!
-
Been told that I might not get the car till friday :angry: as my dealer has 5 or 6 hand overs already that day...and as they ordered before me, first come first serve!! But saying that he hasn't ruled it out just pre warned me...
Its only fair i guess, but at the same time still a bit annoying!!!

:grin: I guess that's why he's in for a hour but his usual day off is a wednesday, either way I will know tomorrow....and ever since I first put the order in he's said from day one that pick up would either be 1st or 2nd...reason being is that he's already got 5 or 6 customers collecting on the 1st so told me 1st or 2nd so i new from the start...
My reason for being so hopeful of the 1st is cus last thursday I receive a email saying that the car had arrived at the dealer and the plan was for the 1st of March pick up, so of course I've been holding on to that date....
Will post up once I know :wink:
-
Have you heard back yet? 24 hrs to go :) not that i am now counting in hours :grin:
-
