Perfect wheel choice too 😎

I must say, the infotainment system is really quick. No lagging, no glitches. I have also not managed to accidently press the steering wheel heating yet!

Same, 12 months in, no problems with infotainment and never accidentally pressed a steering wheel button

Stunning car worth the wait and the wheels defo finish it off. I just cannot understand why VW would think that leaving R badging on those alloys is acceptable when ordering a customer is ordering a GTI Clubsport. Surely there must be Estorils made that are not emblazoned with the R logo. You bought that car because of its uniqueness away from an R. It’s like the R having a steering wheel with GTi embossed on it. Sorry it’s my opinion and I hope I am not offending your special purchase because it’s is a very nice car.

@MaggotsRus im not offended at all. It is quite strange, not sure of the reason why apart from a cost saving? Yes i brought the car  precisely because its not an R, and i love that.

At long last after nearly 2 years waiting I finally have a delivery date for next week

Good to see more cars coming through. I'll be curious to see how many they built in the last couple of quarters of this year. Current figures show registrations up until end of the first quarter of 2023, still only 889 on the road!

Anyone know if the Ghost immobiliser voids the VW warranty?

IMHO, installation of a Ghost immobiliser shouldn’t invalidate the whole warranty. However, if a factory fitted part of component failed within the warranty period and the cause of the failure is considered by VW / the dealer to be the Ghost immobiliser or the way it’s been installed, then it’s likely the warranty won’t cover the cost of repairing or replacing the failed part.

Therefore something such as a failed suspension component or wheel bearing should be covered, but the car’s battery ‘dying’ prematurely due to parasitic drain attributed by VW to have been caused by the Ghost immobiliser is unlikely to be covered.

Also be VERY careful who fits the ghost for you as anyone and everyone fits these now and only as good as the fitting but you won't realise that till its too late!
A lot of people just fit them near the obd port and from there they can be easily bypassed by someone in the know.

My money would be going Pandora storm instead so if they are found and removed car will still not start even then ,where as with a ghost it will.
