Sorry to resurrect this thread but I have trawled through numerous threads and I can't work out what UK-spec GTDs have.

I think that they have both static cornering lights (fogs or little bulbs in main cluster) and possibly also dynamic cornering function that operates above a certain speed (lens of main bulb 'moves' to direct main bulb light).

Is all that correct?

I ask as the VW website specifically lists the 'R' as having static cornering but the description for the GTD makes no mention of any cornering function..... I'm confused/  :huh:

Yup,
The GTD and GTi are the same, have static and dynamic lights.
They only work in car which are no Eco :)

Thanks for the clear and straight foward reply.

I wonder why cornering is only mentioned on the R on the website and on the GTI and R in the manual.

Does anybody else think that VW make it really hard to work out what the spec of each model is?

I think Volkswagen UK do get information wrong or miss it entirely but this probably down to poor communications links with VW AG.
Car are so advanced these days and the marketing, sales and customer service staff can't keep up. :)
