Title: Any News on MY 07 spec ?
Post by: deanpoli on 29 July 2006, 16:52

Does anyone know when MY07 spec golfs come into effect? i.e.  what month was it?
I hear it was 1st June, just need confirmation?

I notice that on the VW website, one change is:-
 
Luxury pack 1 - Electrically foldable door mirrors and surrounding area lighting including reverse activated kerb view adjustment on passenger door mirror

Also i have this information from another forum.

GTi blue tinted glass will now be changed to green tint.

All trims
. • Automatic employment of warning lights under emergency braking
. • 3 large head rests in the rear
. • Whiplash optimised headrests
. • Change to front courtesy light – discontinuation of the middle lamp and housing is no longer lacquered
. • Radio and navigation systems – change to chrome surrounds on knobs and buttons (all silver)
. • Change of icon on the lock/unlock button
. • Location of the airbag warning label will be on the B pillar rather than next to the windscreen
. • Centre console foot space covering for front passengers in black only (beige and grey discontinued)

I think the warning light business is a situation where you're braking hard (IIRC ABS has to be thumping for about 2 seconds) and the hazard lights come on automatically to warn the drivers behind.

What's wrong with the rear headrests Doc?

Sounds to me like they're just fiddling for the sake of it!

Hi, spoke to a dealer in Poznan, Poland and he seems to think that the LED rear lamp clusters seen on the new Jetta/Eos will also be present :smiley:
