Mk7 Golf - Australian Specifications and Prices (Base, Comfortline and Highline)

[Ryan_R]

I've done it on the Mk6, the problem is the paddles are so tiny that you can only reach them when the wheel is straight and/or if you drive with your hands glued at 9 & 3 o'clock. Which is why it didn't take me long to spend more money on DSG extension paddles that attach to the original ones.

Was it "plug and play" or did you have to fiddle with VAG COM

Fiddle required, at least on their Tiguan, but someone needs to try it right?

Thanks, looks like a big job. Needs a lot more thought.

Used VCDS to enabled the paddles on the steering wheel module and clear an airbag-disconnect fault code

I'd love to get it done, but I'm worried about the warranty and if anything went wrong with the DSG that the dealer would say that "...you added a modification to the gearbox and that it's not covered by Australian Warranty"

Cost ? $500 ~ to buy the wheel, but who would fit it for you ? Any VAG mechanic ?

My friend put a mk6 wheel on a mk5! Service people didnt even bat an eyelid. So I highly doubt they'd even notice that the TDI isn't meant to have flappy paddles.

It's pretty easy if you've got the right tools, took my friend a night and then I helped him with the vcds coding.

Did you have any more thought on this ??

I'm going to leave the steering wheel for a while, but will probably go ahead and get the OEM LED tail lights from them when the cash reserves are in better shape

Check out VWA's website. There has been a price drop on the new golf. The 110 TDI Highline has dropped almost 3k. Others have also dropped in price, but I can not ascertain by how much

Wow I just looked that up its true. I better get the discount. All I have done is put down a deposit. They better pass on the discount!! Or heads will roll

So who's still going to be one of the first to grab a GTI - they might play the same trick when the Performance Edition and/or R launch down here

It's part of the Volksfest driveaway deals thingy and its for all their models. The trendline polo manual is driveaway for $1000 less than its retail price! Thats about 4K!

I wonder if this leaves any room for further negotiations.

I just found out that overseas' model has LED tail lights with the bi-xenon options and they look great! I added the same option and am sad that our specs here are different.

I don't think you can get the LED tail lights at all in this country. It'll be the only aftermarket thing I add to mine when I get it mid next year (hopefully)
