Usually from August onwards, but saying that, I bought a MY 2000 Mk4 GTI in June 1999.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

I think the dealers got the bulletin last week, maybe give your contact at your dealer a ring and ask them what if anything has changed.

There is a model year change at around week 22. Then there is a slight tweek to the specs at around week 45. So he is sort of right but its a cheaky way of saying it. :wink: As there is one change per model year (week 45-46) but the model year changes at around week 22.

Spoke with dealer who has checked VW desktop back to start of April, apparently no information on any changes as yet.
