Golf R - Parking Sensors?
« on: 26 June 2012, 13:42 »
Hi all,

Anyone know what has happened to the availability of Parking Sensors on a Golf R? According to a recent Golf price list they are available as an option for the R, but they have mysteriously disappeared off VW's car configurator? I know they were there not that long ago!

If VW have decided to take them off the options list for the R then it's a very odd decision!!  Any ideas as to why they might choose to?

Phone your dealer pal and ask....

Surely not already, it's a 12plate isn't it?

Yes MrGTD you're right, but I'm within a week of rejecting my Ed35 if the dealer doesn't get it fixed - so I'm considering my options at the moment.

To be honest am undecided.  Couldn't justify the extra cost of of an 'R' at the start of the year and probably still couldn't now.  But got to admit though - that Rising Blue is a cracking colour!

I agree it's a really nice colour. I couldn't justify the extra fuel costs, insurance, tax and so on of the Ed35 over the GTI, even though when the GTI was fully specced, it's not far off an Ed35, it's been bad enough coming from a 2.0 TDI lol
