Missing Fog lights

[Piz_Buin]

Just picked up a Mark 7.5 on Saturday and the front fog lights specified in the brochure are missing as VW didn't put them in during build  . Seems dealers and other customers have been complaining and I'm not alone. Anyone else in the same boat? The group my dealer is in has now realised that they have stock of cars at other branches in the group that are missing front fogs too. Waiting for VW to come back and tell us what they're going to do.

29.4.2017 still waiting for VW and dealer to get back with an offer / update. Just seen promotional info on Facebook for the PP version and the pictures show no front fogs. The downloaded brochure I have also shows the R doesn't have them as standard either.

My GTI arrived at the dealership today and they delightfully informed me that the fog lights are there, despite being warned that they wouldn't be 4 weeks after I placed the order mid March. It seems that some got them and some didn't after all.

So I have a question... Does anyone have a UK delivered GTI Performance with front fogs yet? I'm an evo magazine subscriber and I've noticed a couple of recent articles on the Mk 7.5. Reading with interest as awaiting my GTI, the Driven article on the std GTI back in issue 233, showed pics of a German plates red GTI with fogs. Then 3 issues later, an article on the GTE Vs GTI P, almost identical German plates red GTI P with no fogs.... Thought that is a bit odd?

All Performance will have fogs, it was only the first run of the 230ps that haven't got fogs. You won't see a UK Performance for at least another month yet.

I've yet to see a facelift GTI at all other than static demo in my local dealer.... Just thought it's odd that they were missing from a german launch car...

Hi
I have a Gti performance on order,the  volkswagon tracker indicates it is now in uk,waiting clearance before transporting to dealer,
I raised the issue of the missing fog lights,to which the dealer states it was a few early cars built without them and that all cars ,my order included will be fitted with fog lights,they have a gtd mk7.5 as a demo on their forecourt which has not got them,this was one of the very first cars,hope that helps,Dave.

At my order headlight washers is with PXB, now with winter pack.

I took delivery of my GTD on 2 June. Having been told that it was one of the affected cars and wouldn't have fogs I was pleasantly surprised to find them fitted

Has anyone received their compensation cheque from VWUK yet? I have been waiting for over a month now.
