Title: 2017 model year changes.....
Post by: evo1986 on 06 April 2016, 19:36

The following model year 2017 (MY17) product changes take effect from build week 22 2016 (starting Monday 30 May).

Model year 2017 will be open for ordering in the week starting Monday 25 April. Make sure your customers know about these changes if their factory order will be affected.

There will be no inflationary increase on model prices, but the delivery charge increases from £570 to £600. Some new engines will be available – see details under individual models listed below. There will be an increase on all paint prices, see under ‘all models’.
 
Note

All customer vehicles tagged by 2 May will not incur the higher paint prices.
All 2016 model year cars that have not been confirmed by 25 April will be moved over to the new model year. 

Important: during the change-over to model year 17, do not amend any orders until your vehicle becomes an MY17 car. If any changes are made before it becomes a MY17 car, this could lead to misbuilt cars.

The Volkswagen website will be updated with any 2017 model year specification changes and price changes on 3 May.

Price lists will be updated and available via Desktop and Volkswagen.co.uk website from 3 May 2016.

Hi,
My Golf R order is currently with the factory awaiting scheduling, do you think I might be lucky and fall into a MY17 car?
I placed the order on 25/03/16.

I would expect so if you haven't got a build week yet.

Any mention of the R getting satnav standard?

Yay, boost gauges!
Childish I know but I've been looking forward to that!

Have to translate but looks like the digital display will be an option on performance golfs also - no mention of engines for the R

Are they really going to do a facelift?

Wonder if the performance gauge screen can be added to earlier MY16 (MIB II) cars or not ?
Title: Re: 2017 model year changes.....
Post by: fredgroves on 07 April 2016, 10:12
I would guess it can.

Assuming its all part of the software of the MIB, then flashing it to the newest version should enable it.

Definitely worth a try.

I can't see that its relying on any new sensor hardware, the data is already available, the unit just needs to read it over the bus.

My thoughts too.

If all that think blue junk is in there and accessible via the bus then so will the other vehicle data.
Being as its been available in the land of the curious presidential candidates for a while it's all hidden in the electrics waiting to be tapped into via software updates or VCDS geniuses poking around in the right places.

Damm, guess my Golf R will be pre-face lift :(

They also say this about the Golf R420
"As study VW has the hot Golf R400 already presented. After the facelift it comes as R420 in a small series on the market. Compared to the study, the power was increased by 20 to 420 hp - a reaction to the revised Mercedes A 45 AMG, which now develops 381 hp."


Grrrrr I didn't think Volkswagen were building the R420???

Darn, just been told mine is at Stage 10 - BW19, so it's going to be a MY16 car.
Title: Re: 2017 model year changes.....
Post by: 2014GTi on 15 April 2016, 13:14
It's changed again, now down as BW22, might be getting a MY17 car after all?
Title: Re: 2017 model year changes.....
Post by: JoeGTI on 15 April 2016, 14:29
if your car is BW22 or later, it will be a MY2017 car.

I would imagine so, means we lose the lockable glove box but gain the GUI boost gauge.
Doesn't look like MY17 cars are having any big changes :)

Yes.

I'm still waiting to read the translated article. When will the facelift be available in the UK? I thought they would launch it at the Frankfurt motor show at the end of September. So not available in the UK until 2017? Then just 2 years until the Mk8 in 2019?

Build Week Confirmed - 16/5/2016.
Think that's BW20, just two weeks shy of MY17 model builds :(
Looks like no Performace Monitor GUI for me :( tut.

That's exactly what happened to me last year, I missed BW22 by 2-weeks!

At least it's not a major change in spec, I can live with it :)

Just had a conversation with a rep on VW's online chat. Build week stated for 23rd May (BW21) which means I'll just miss it! Oh well...
