Wolfsburg Edition Golf R

1. The sweeping motion is only on the hatch - the wagon taillights are just tinted. A couple of us would have had them installed on our Alltracks if they were dynamic.

can i ask you guys who have already taken delivery about some nuances about the 2018 7.5 wolf wagon? really appreciate it!

1. is the rear turning indicator in sweeping motion same as the hatch? 1st world problem i guess?
2. do all the 4 tips connected the exhaust? saw on the vwroc someone said they are now all connected?? so no more 2 dirty pipe situation?

cheers!

2. Here is a pic of the exhausts. Unvalved, but plumbed at least.

My front indicators don't sweep either a are they supposed to? Not that I give a flying about it, but I know others do. It's only because I notice every time i drive out of Dan Murphy's and the car is reflected in the window across the road.

The exhaust on the wagon is quite a different sound from the hatch. The hatch is more bass and rumble on the over run, where as the wagon is a more metallic rasp and snarl when on the gas. It doesn't really come into the cabin unless the windows are open. Still thinking about the res delete but will wait until over 1000 kms and see if it changes the sound.

Had an interesting experience with my new Wolfie wagon.

I took it Opticoat for protection, and when I picked it up they said paint had come off the rear bumper ‘like butter’. They thought it must have been respected, badly, somewhere along the delivery process.

Dealer has been good and are taking it back for respraying.

The fronts don't sweep - only the hatch rears.

Anyone have any recent info or experience on how long it takes from the car arriving at the Ro Ro dock , Melbourne, (mine arrived today) to the dealer?

Ouch !

Good to hear that the dealer is going to fix it. What colour is your wagon ?

I believe it can take up to 2 weeks, but I'd say between the 1-2 week bracket. Really has to do with a lot of factors - customs, dealer, delivery etc.

Great news though. I wish mine was on the Grand Hero, it's still in the factory apparently.

White.

I'll be interested in hearing your opinion on the result. I think the Oryx white is a 3 stage job: white base, metallic next, then clearcoat to protect.

Do they think your issue was the factory finish peeling off (ie never prepared properly so didn't adhere), or a respray repair gone wrong ?

My dealer is telling me 4-5 weeks for a car that gets off at Melbourne and comes to Adelaide.

I was told upto 3 weeks but it arrived in Adelaide and was delivered to me within 10 days

I'll cross my fingers. Just spoke to dealer and I have a car that was on the Oberon that docked at Port Kembla on the 6th.
