Finance is 2.9% I think this is good compared to other VW models?

I like the Polo-ish size but with more interior room and boot space

I wanted a standard Gti 265 near the end of Feb this year. March 4th was collecting it. cant be bothered with all this pre ordering, just get one from whats already available. on the road in a few days, job sorted

I know it wouldn’t suit everyone but there’s a lot to be said for building cars with a standardised equipment package for each trim level, leaving just the paint colour for the customer to choose. The downside is that customers couldn’t pick and choose specific options, but such a system must remove potential complexities from the supply chain and vehicle build process, and reduce lead times.

Easier to find a Golf GTi in a specific colour from stock than a wait months for a car to be built to a customer’s specific spec requirements.

personally i wouldn't want to be spending all that money without having absolute freedom in choosing options.  It's one of the things that i despise about car manufacturers, forcing trim levels down our throats.  I get it that it might be a faster built process that way but for the money spent, customers should have the right to choose.  Think about it this way: get a car with pre-determined standardized settings with minimum fuss or wait a bit longer and get a car just the way you like it.  Just my 2 cents

Totally agree 👍

Thanks Rowlers,

I used the ‘apps’. Having finished and having the fault, I have ‘opened’ and ‘closed’ service mode a couple of times with no change to the fault.

When trying to go through the basic settings via the menus to start/end the lining change mode it’s asking me to upgrade to PRO. I’m happy to pay for it if need be, but as I haven’t need Pro for the 8 years I’ve had the car, if I can get around with a little help from someone it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Folks,

I’ve just replaced the drains and pads etc. on my 2013 mk7 GTi along with a new set of aftermarket rear calipers.
Using my free account OBD11 I put the EPB into service mode. Once I had completed the job I took it back out of device mode, however it has thrown a fault. I am currently getting fault C10E254 - stating No Basic Setting.

I’m assuming with the new calipers they need to be calibrated to suit? The EPB and Auto Hold are working as they should. I’m based in Dunfermline, Scotland and was hoping there might be someone local with VCDS that might be able to sort it out for me if that is the issue.

Many thanks
