Re: New GTI

Ok cheers, I ask cos I would want them opening as I unlock as would catch the frame of garage on way out then as door opening is narrower than the garage itself Confirmed: If the switch inside the car indicates the mirrors to fold, they will not unfold until you turn the nob to another setting.

Re: New GTI - Was armrest an option?

Feel like I've been mis-sold, which, in conjunction with the fact that Mirror link is next to useless (nothing works when the car is moving, scuppering my plan to use my phone as a sat-nav) Other users have had more success in this, I could have sworn it was perfectly capable to use as a SatNav pla...

Re: New GTI

I park my car in garage at night and have to fold my mirrors in to keep over to one side as not that big. If I folded the mirrors in via the button inside the car then locked it, would they open when I unlocked car or only when I use the switch inside again, hope this isn't to confusingly written l...

Re: New GTI

This isn't a GTI specific question, but do the eletronically folding mirrors fold in automatically when you lock the car? My BlueGT electric mirrors fold in automatically when you lock the car, and unfold when you turn the electrics on with the ignition. They can also be manually folded with the mi...

Re: Stupid question (Blue GT)

Easy Entry seats aren't actually listed on the BlueGT 3 door spec, not sure why these would have been omitted.

Haven't tried them on mine yet, although it sounds likely that I am inconveniently in the same boat. I'll give them a go later and let you know.

Re: New GTI - Was armrest an option?

In the various re-downloaded price lists I have it is listed as being standard, so I was surprised to hear of people saying it wasn't. I went for the BlueGT in the end anyway, but it seems really sneaky for them to make that change, potentially after people ordered their cars? Edit: Actually, lookin...

Re: New GTI

I thought the centre armrest came as standard in the GTI?

Also in my 6C manual it says the sport button only has the two modes: Sport and Normal, something I have read elsewhere, yet the pricelist does suggest 3 modes. Strange.

Re: Anyone currently waiting on a 6C factory order?

My BlueGT arrived in the UK today, will arrive at my dealer on Thursday, and will be ready for collection on Sunday. Sadly I am not available Sunday so I will have to grit my teeth until early week. After an initial indication of 12 week waiting time, it will technically be available for collection ...

Re: Anyone currently waiting on a 6C factory order?

I've never trusted the build week until the tracker says it's confirmed, since they seem to have a habit of changing. Plus my car updated to "in transit" at the end of the build week, so it doesn't seem too far behind in my case. What one did you get? (spec etc) I ave already told you, yo...

Re: Very Annoyed!

That's a tough break!

You should definitely be able to get them to bend backwards for you, and get a good deal with a couple more toys!

Was it DSG or manual?

Re: Start-stop Problems

I have read about this stop start / climate control issue before, but when I google it I can't find anything, so it certainly doesn't sound like an issue across the board.

Re: New GTI

A lot of people on this forum who have gotten new Polos at the higher end of the spectrum have gotten BlueGTs. I personally went into the dealership with very intention of getting a GTI, but the dealer convinced me otherwise. It does have the updated exterior which the BlueGT is lacking, but the mi...
