GTI Ordered. Who else has made the jump?

The colour multifunction computer is standard now so you could put the £135 towards ACC? 

Hey Jimble,

How do you know for certain that the 'colour display for multifunction computer' is now standard on the GTD & GTI?

Just sat reading the 1st April 2013 PDF brochure and it says it's an £135 optional extra.

Cheers for the info Si but I've just been through the UK website build configurator and it's still coming up as a £135 optional extra?

Yours confused

I'd specced it on my order then had a call a couple of days later from my dealer to say that when he put the order through he couldn't spec the colour screen but he would investigate why? The next day he called to say the reason was because it is standard now so isn't an option.


A few people have been told the same since, the price lists have changed a couple of times since the 26th (books opened).


VW seem to be a bit slow with the configurator atm.

Thanks for that Jimble 

One less thing to tick on the options list.

I've owned two Sciroccos with ACC and I didn't bother spacing it on my order. I always ran the Sciroccos in normal. Comfort is to soft and Sport is great when your hocking it on but I honestly only used Sport about once a month. Save the cash and go on a holiday..

The ACC on my Roc is useful in the winter, I set it on comfort when the potholes appear to lessen the blow when you inevitably hit one you can't see that is full of snow or rainwater. On my first Roc (09/140TDI GT) it was fitted with Dunlops and 2 of these developed sidewall bulges following encounters with very minor potholes). When I got my 11 plate 170TDI Roc, I haven't had any tyre damage at all attributed to potholes, but it did have Pirellis on from the factory. I have found that even the sport mode is massively less harsh than the set-up of my old MK5 Golf GT Sport 170TDI, so I am wondering whether MK6 (and expecting same on MK7) has a far better suspension set-up or whether ACC is really that much better than standard GT/GTD suspension on a Golf.

BTW I have had 2 warranty claims for my ACC on the Roc, both in consecutive Januarys, starting up on a very cold morning. I don't think the system likes the cold. I'm not ordering it on the GTD.

But from when is it standard? My dealer has had definite indication that it will be coming in as standard but is unsure from which build week it will happen. He is quite confident mine will probably get it but couldn't say for definite, depending upon build week.

OK guys, deal done, deposit paid.  Ended up with exactly the car I wanted with DCC.  I took a GT spec car out with it, and noticed an appreciable difference in the way the car handled and responded between sport and comfort.  I wouldn't say there is such a thing as too soft when riding over some of the bad roads around here!

To ease the decision, I got an extra £500 part-ex on my car and around 6% discount on the entire package.  Also got free servicing, paint protection, plush mats, full tank of fuel, GTI pen and a VW keying, lol.

Oh, and as of right now, the colour multifunction is not standard.

Lets see what he says when he actually puts the order through?

Congrats btw!
