Gti reappears on Configurator - manual G/box
The Gti and + have reappeared on the VW configurator
No price information - but, listed with a manual gearbox !! :: and rather weirdly, no option for the DSG (as I type, may be different tomorrow...!)

Re: Gti reappears on Configurator....
And further to Joe Knight's tip, 'Beats Audio' is now listed as an option..
Re: Gti reappears on Configurator....
Yep, seeing a manual but no DSG as well, the photos/renders are the manual version.

Re: Gti reappears on Configurator....
Looks like VW are in the process of updating the configurator and they’ve put a test version into the live environment in error. I’d anticipate a correct version will appear over the next few days, with pricing information and the DSG version of the GTI / GTI+ included.
The fact that VW are working on the configurator and a manual version of the GTI has appeared suggests that the 2.0 GTI/GTI+ engine may have now been type approved under WLTP. If so, a new price list should also follow soon.

An yet you can still configure on iPad configurator. Not sure if its been updated or not but you can configure the lot.
No mention of WLTP though.

Re: Gti reappears on Configurator - manual G/box
So I have a dilemma for GTI+ number 2. I thinki'll be ringing the dealership and ticking the manual box when the configurator has it with solid pricing. Manual should be £1450 or thereabouts cheaper has been that differential for about 4 years on the Golf), which should add up to a real cost reduction on my order of £1280 assuming same 12.5% discount. If 7 speed DSG box becomes available on GTI+ I might not change.
Still don't know if dealership managed to officially place my order yet.

Update -- not on the UK config, but the GTI with a manual g/box has appeared on the VW German site

Re: Gti reappears on Configurator - manual G/box
Is it me or have the emissions changed for the GTI? That German page is showing 138 g/km - current UK Price list shows 134 g/km Wonder if that means they've finally approved the engine if they have the new figures?

Re: Gti reappears on Configurator - manual G/box
I got a screenshot of the emissions a couple of months ago.
Seems the UK hasn't changed but German has. I'm expecting our UK site to update this soon then.

I see the UK configurator is down for maintenance, I wonder will the GTi be added back on again

Re: Gti reappears on Configurator - manual G/box
I did notice that all VW cars and engines have passed WLTP now, and they’re obviously building the LHD versions already. I think they’ve just been clearing the backlog of orders, so agree that the manual and DSG GTi will be available for order again soon.paulrodgers7 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 19, 2018 7:30 pm I see the UK configurator is down for maintenance, I wonder will the GTi be added back on again
