Ok m8 thx, I've read in the manual that the instrument cluster lights switch off wen dark to prompt u to put ur lights on, think this is why mine weren't lit wen I was sat on my drive

Tweeted VW this morning and they've said mine is at build stage 5 of 8. Tracker still just says confirmed build week though. Fingers crossed it won't be too much longer.

today I've ordered a tuning box for my manual from DTUK, know a guy at work who has on his golf and can only say good things about the product and service.

Be careful as they will make the engine run very lean .. Mate had one on golf r and removed it because off it running very very lean ..

Took a drive from home to Ludlow today, bout 40 miles to there. Some lovely twisty country roads, plus some dual carriageway. Goes like stink, in any gear there is power. Handling spot on, and ride its pretty comfortable in normal mode. Sport mode does firm up but still tolerable, and steering is more direct . More exhaust noise is fun too. Not reset my mpg so includes when dealer had running in workshop etc, arrived home with the average at 37 which I thinks pretty damn good for new motor. Have noticed in full sun a few swirls inflicted buy the dealer but plan to polish myself with D.A machine I have and put some wax over the top so not gonna beat myself up that they have slightly marked my lovely paintwork lol. Overall, well impressed.

Let us know how you get on with it, I've got one of them bookmarked to buy after Christmas once I've bedded my engine in a bit.

Speaking of which, collected mine earlier on. It's awesome, I love it. Haven't driven it as much as I'd like to yet due to other commitments but will be doing 60 odd miles later on so that'll be fun.

Yeah I'm sure I heard a couple but didn't push it too far

[Dink]

I can't say ive ever heard the exhaust pop ever on my new gti and I've given it a go

[Andy4791]

Lol, maybe I didn't then lol

Wind the windows down.switch off the music. Put your foot down and hear the pops.
