Eddy 30, the standard trim vs normal GTI

[Ganan53]

Hey all,

I've had a look around and couldn't find the answer to my question.

Basically I know the edition 30 had 230bhp, different body kit and interior trim but I was wondering if there were any other extras it got over the standard gti?

Bluetooth, winter pack, luxury pack?

Wondering if anyone had some insight?

Thanks

I don't think the ED30 had any 'packs' as standard.  Just heated half leather and a red stitched steering wheel were standard afaik?

[Pesky jones]

Gearstick as well?

Other than that - the options you have listed were options for any GTI

The rear light clusters on an ed30 are the same cherry red ones you get on an R32.

Trim wise, like the guys have mentioned, it's just those few interior bits, deeper front lip, colour coded skirts and a different rear bumper.

The main differences are under the bonnet. K04, different injectors, and the engine internals are stronger than the K03 engines.

Unfortunately an ed30 was out of my budget when I bought my GTI. Of course I'm not brave enough to add up what I've spent on it since..

Oh yeah, I keep forgetting the rear lights are different on the 30.

I'm sure there's a thread on here somewhere which lists the standard equipment and also what each pack gives you?

Is the full display, think it's called 'Highline' optional?

I think it is, my 07 GTI has Highline. Or maybe it was retrofitted by a previous owner. Who knows!

Yeah there's definitely a thread like that... somewhere

Thread on here somewhere from '08!! 

Highline was an option on the Eddy too, IIRC it was only about £50 and some tight arse buggers didn't tick it!

No packs were standard, no Bluetooth.....not even Cruise control. You could get a poverty spec Eddy as you could a GTI.

Exterior has the full colour coded body kit, 18" Pescara wheels, darker rear light clusters. Interior had the tartan seats with leather bolsters, differnt door cards, gear nob, lighting but as mentioned main difference was under the bonnet re K04 etc etc.

I've the original brochure at home....ill have a look laters and see what was what.

Good info mate 

The original buyer of mine got fresh with the options sheet I think.   Highline display, heated washer jets / washer level warning, xenons, sunroof, heated seats (I'm guessing this is all a 'winter pack'), cruise control, arm rest ('Comfort pack'?) and some other bits I can't remember.

Interestingly, there is a white sticker on the interior fuse board saying "Dealer fitted option: Cruise control".  So you're right, out of the factory, these cars don't come with a lot as standard!

[Leco_GTI]

Mine is a 05 GTI (not Ed30) with heated seats. My question is: why do I have headlight washers if I don't have xenons? 

[pudding]

That is an odd one!  Was it an option without xenons?  Maybe the car had xenons originally and they were sold on and swapped for normal lights?  Do the washers work?

Same here, mine's got all that too. Apart from cruise... but it does have puddle lights, auto tilt passenger mirror, folding mirrors, Highline, heated seats, sunroof, pretty much the works, and......

Headlight washers without Xenons! I've always suspected that to be the case with mine - that it did have Xenons from new, but somewhere down the line they got 'harvested'!

I did read somewhere that headlight washers could be specced without Xenons, but I don't know how true that is.

[Rossimac]

Winter Pack had washers without xenons. It was an option and weird one at that.

Hi Pudding,

I don't know if that was an option. There is a lot of GTI's on Auto Trader with non-xenon headlights and the washers. I never checked if they work. I will give it a go and see. I read somewhere that the washers only work every 5th time that you wash the windscreen.
