So i drive a standard TDI and what has really annoyed me is...

[new here]

 

The sound system........

I started playing around with the stereo as i realized there was no great sound or volume......

Then discovered there was no option in the balance for front and rear....strange i thought....

So i turned up the system and sat in the back to notice there was absolutely no speakers in the back!!!!

So the solution would be to spend some money on some descent kit.

....Be very careful what Hurdy suggests, 'new here'!! You'll end up with a silver carbonfibre bonnet! And that's not all!!

Is your car a 3 door? (Assuming you get a TDI in 3 door) and is it a import?

Up to a stage. Im not sure what year your car is... The three door imports and some 5 door imports did not get rear speakers although the speaker grills etc were there. You can take it to VW amd ask them to install the speakers for you.

Or go aftermarket. The standard VW amplifier is useless and cant run a sub and the actual player itself is useless. So get something like Hurdy has. Much better deal.

I cant complain about the stereo cos In South Africa we get different speakers to the UK and I can tell you. The sound system is excellent.

ive got speakers in that back as standard and they sound good!! i have been in another gti and the sound was cr@p compared to mine, perhaps the previous owner uprated them i havent had the covers off yet but am tempted now

Between a certain year. I think its from 06 to 07 they changed the Sound System.

Before the headunit was the amplifier and later they fitted an amp under the drivers seat. All the GTi's as far as I know came standard with the amp after 06.

You then got the soundblaster/ soundpack option which basically gave you minor upgrades on the speakers and they boosted the amp.

With all due respect. Everyone complains about door cards rattling etc. We have never had that and no matter what genre of music it still sounds classy.

I’m perfectly happy with the sounds in my ED30. More interested in the turbo whoosh and exhaust burble.

Not bad for a mainstream manufacturer.

What he said!  I have just upgraded my head unit to the MFD2 and the sound is waaaaaayyy better than the CD player i had.  Good clean bass even when loud
