The CS-S delivery thread

[volkswizard]

I just held the TC button for 5 secs and everything is off... well as off as VW lawyers allow

Don't think that switches of front assist does it? Thought that was through the DIS

Sure does work, the other way is the stalk button, no need to wade through DIS. But for track days you want TC off and stability XDS plus in sport or off anyway, so just hold the TC/ASR button for 5sec and all is off including front assist. It comes up on the screen and warns you!!

Great tip, thanks!

Personally ... I have a black car coming so no stress about the roof ... ! And if having a camera up front lowers insurance I am cool about that also, especially now its switchable ??!

By the looks of it the black roof cars paint jobs look terrible so that maybe a reason but personally I think the cock us is with VW uk but its too late now to worry about it and sums up exactly why VW shouldn't make these cars as they have no experience from a network perspective of how to "manage" a low volume tack focused, collectors sports car ... let's be honest - from start to finish this whole things been a joke!

1) Insdequate Press Release
2) Inadequate info to U.K. Dealers - my salesman hadn't even heard of it ...
3) No configuration available - I had to place a Clubsport order just to attain a receipt
4) No colour option available for the majority, but not all dealerships - definitely not mine
5) Colour allocation indesriminant
6) Press car a grey left Hooker
7) No idea of Price before sell out
No idea of spec before sell out
9) No car for Clarkson
10) Incorrect delivery date info
11) Software glitches hampering delivery
12) uk VW dealerships with no idea of spec
13) Spec differences from country to country
14) Closed communication loop to buyers

On the plus side ...

1) a cheap to run cheap to insure daily driver
2) Selling for overs if you want to bail out ...?!
3) A good bit of fun ...
4) Probably the last time VW will ever attempt this scenario for a decade or so ...

See all the above ...

Can I be pedantic and add;
White press car had rear parking sensors, black wheels and black roof (but also auto lights which wasn't in spec but we are actually getting..maybe)

If anyone went to the Pistonheads / VW UK GTI 40th birthday party this all may not come as a surprise (not saying any more)

I'm collecting mine at 11:30 today

Without it's black roof

5 miles to home and that's it.

Feels lively

No Nurburgring Mode?  thought this was std?

Can't see where my cage will bolt in as no holes anywhere that I can see

Love the crime scene tape on the first shot

Love the crime scene tape on the first shot

What's that tape for ...? Also - what's the crack with the Nordshliefe setting ...?!! Not another VW hiccup

That's for the Star Trek mode. It beams you to another dimension.

No idea

Should have stuck with my CS as this is the same minus the rear seat
