Also - how can you miss out the reverse cam for £150?!  Its great... and costs about £500 to retrofit!!!!


Can you get the reverse camera on its own, or do you need to spec the parking sensors too?

Plus ordering the DAB means you can't have the camera anyway.



ive got camera on mine without sensors, well worth the £150 in my eyes very handy and use quite a bit,  :wink:

I'm pretty sure you CAN have the camera without the sensors.  Never noticed the DAB on the spec list.  Definately can't have the cam with DAB!

A build week 9 won't be here in Feb, since week 9 is the first week in March!


Can definitely have the camera without the sensors.

Ordered it at last. Had some issues as the dealer i was going through could not get an order in before January and i didn't want to get hit with a price rise ! :sad:
Found another dealer which would give me 8 % Discount and then another (with 17.5 % Vat) ! :laugh:

Delivery in March (They did say they could get it before then end of Feb  but i declined that offer as i want a 10 Plate)
Fancy PMing me these dealers details because i feel i need to cancel my current order due to a dealer who is hopeless (huge understatment) and get mine elsewere.


I've gone through Stoke-on-Trent VW (was via the Work Fleet Dept so they got me this deal, but is a private buy not a company car) ! I also could have go the same deal via Coast to Coast Cars (broker) who where using inchcape VW in Stockport i think.
Thanks.  :smiley:

heated washer jets and heated cloth seats. I really don't see why anyone need them this side of the highlands. Im over 310Metres above sea level and never needed either, as long as you keep the consentration of screenwash right i have never had any problems with jets freezing in the past 20 years.
heated cloth seats i don't see the point of as they quickly go to body temp anyway.

Never needed them yet in 21 yearws of driving. Its' been cold and i admit that the heated seats would have been nice, but they would have been on for 5 mins then turned off.
I was trying to keep costs down so it was not an option i really thought i would regret not having.

I am glad that this is an option...since I ordered leather afterwards...by doing so I now only loose the electric side supports but still can have the heated seats (by ordering a winter-package) :wink:

My wife loves the heated seats and it is something we have used often during this cold snap. Heated water jets are brilliant on the golf. As a comparison, our other car is a SAAB and the other week we had both cars out. The Golf you could practically use the jets right away, on the SAAB it took ages. (With the correct concentration of fluid). It was -10 at the time.

Once again it is a personal choice, but it something we are glad we ordered.

It was -10 at my place the other day and I don't have the heated jets and they worked no problem.
With the correct washer fluid ratio, they shouldn't freeze. Even with the heated jets, if you don't have the correct ratio they will freeze, which to me makes little sense.
