One per cent rise for all models and some options from 4 November
VW1195-13

From Monday 4 November 2013, all models and some options increase in price by one per cent

Golf Hatch (week 45)



All trims

Luggage compartment – conversion of handle to handle recess with variable luggage compartment floor
Label in tank cap changes from white to yellow background in all diesel models
Change to optional folding door mirror – this can now be operated with the remote (currently only works when the ignition is on)
Media-in with iPod adapter cables – introduction of ‘Lightning Adaptor’ for iPhone 5 alongside regular iPod connection, as standard
GTD – introduction of optional Sport and Sound pack – £255 including VAT. This sound generator enhances the aural sensation for the driver (and passengers). In ‘Sport’ mode (using the Driver Profile Selector) there is an additional acoustic emphasis to the sound of the engine inside the car, with no additional noise externally

Golf GTD brake callipers do not have logo03 October 2013
Make sure customers are aware that callipers are plain grey
 VW1209-13

Golf GTD brake callipers do not have the GTD logo on, as incorrectly stated in the brochure and price list.

This is a misprint. An updated price list and brochure are being worked on and will be available on Desktop shortly.

Doesn't the GTD already have the sound acuator or whatever it's called?

The folding door mirror on unlock - surely this would just be a software upgrade of some sort?  How would cars that are already built go about getting this?

Any ideas if the GTD in the UK does have a sound actuator then?

All previous reports state that it does.

No don't worry, you pay the price at the point you signed.  However, if you later make a change after the price rise they will reprise everything with the new prices.  Under some circumstances this actually means it can cost you money to remove an option.

Yes it does.

No it doesn't , well not strictly. What the GTD currently has is a "Sound born actuator", which is on the plenum chamber bulkhead and is designed to resonate the windscreen to simulate a sporty noise inside the car only.

What the sight and sound package in Germany adds (which it looks like we are now getting), is the modified exhaust system. This does away with the rear silencer and has a speaker actuator fitted inline just before the rear axle. This speaker system is designed to give the GTD a sporty sound from the exhaust externally, so passers by will think you are driving a V8

wonder if it could be retro-fitted?
