So.. is this confirmed beyond all reasonable doubt - no heated seats with standard cloth trim?  :sad:

It is the only reason I have the winter pack on order...

The i-pad app Configurator which auto updates with any spec changes every time you open it or your configurations only has winter pack with leather as an option.  Also no grey colour someone mentioned earlier.

My understanding is this Configurator app is gospel.

I think you need a new bible! :grin:

Aside from the fact the last time I looked, it was missing the Carbon Grey metallic paint.  Perhaps it's more akin to a book by David Ike than the Bible.

The configurator for the GT and the other non-GTD/GTI Golfs still (I just checked) allows you to choose the winter pack with cloth seats (£375).

I have ordered GTD in pure white with winter pack. I have just rung my dealer and I have a confirmed build week of 27. He says winter pack is still confirmed. He hadn't heard of winter pack being leather only and he said if changes affected current orders the spec would drop off.

He thinks I will get my winter pack... Here's hoping...

Initially when I ordered the car it was cloth with the winter pack, so that I could have the heated seats. Then when I added leather I wasn't aware I was paying 3 figures to heat up my washer nozzles. I found out by accident luckily. Crazy stuff really.

And I must thank you for your original post on the subject way back.  That was what prompted me to call my dealer and pose the question "what exactly does the winter pack I ordered give me?"  When she said just the washer nozzles (after much hand holding to lead her to that answer) I promptly said "that's hardly a good deal, can you remove it please."

So you saved me £300.  Cheers!

That app is pants.  It took longer to update the new price list on that than it did on the website!  I would take the app with a very large pinch of salt.

Thats right, that app lives in what I like to call "the land of the plonker".  It still thinks the MFD is a "£135 option" and asking it to "update price and options" leads to random changes or no changes at all and usually leads to a crash when I try to open my saved build.  Oh, and it thinks I can add spoilers galore which I doubt, and there is no heated screen or phone prep options...

Its fun for the pretty pictures and not a lot else.

Woohoo!!!!

I have just received confirmation from Audi UK that the winter pack is still available with the cloth seats so no need to panic  :smiley:
