Bit of a thread revival but I viewed the new GTD at the dealership yesterday (in preparation for the wife's Blue GT Polo arriving any day now, and found another small area where VW have cheapened out.

That being the area on the forward inside edge of the front door (near the rear view mirror), where on the new car there are two ugly bolts showing but on my current GTD, they are covered by a black trim piece. Must have saved VW all of a euro each ! They much have changed the door as well as the current GTD has two small holes where the trim piece fits in to, but on the newer car, the holes are no longer there. Wonder where else VW have removed pieces from to save money ?

Enjoy your new GTD. As you ordered the sport & sound pack did you notice if the front callipers have the GTD logo?

No they don't mate (never expected them to). They are exactly the same calipers as the standard non S&S Pack GTD (like my current car), but painted red at the factory.

The name plate "GTI" that's on the PP models, use a slightly larger caliper with a modified design to take the two pins that the cover plate (with the GTI lettering) uses to attach to the caliper as well as larger diameter discs.

Sorry :-)

Thanks for the information.

The current price list says.

Sport and Sound pack Exhaust sound actuator for selected driver profile. Comfort sound –
Normal and Eco mode, ‘Deep Sporty sound’ – Sport mode.
Includes ‘Red’ brake callipers with 'GTD' logo.
 
When I seen this I checked with the dealers parts dept. for the part number - there wasn't one.

Is that a recent brochure as that description was on an old one from 2013!

Have a look at this post http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=260090.msg2389060#msg2389060
Evo1986 is a dealer on the forum and he posted a recent VW bulletin on this very subject.

Checked the VW site today before I made the post.
EFFECTIVE FROM 5.4.2016 and as you say also in previous price lists.
