Mk6 GTD

[SteveP]

Maybe 

[rich83]

I think i prefer the OEMs

[Oli]

Finally got my order in, and have ordered in carbon grey with the following spec;

5 door
Dsg
Rns510
Dynaudio
Rear airbags
Parking sensors and rear camera
Cruise control
18" wheels
Luxury pack
Flat tyre sensor
Storage pack
Xenons
Colour multifunction display

And obviously leather and Bluetooth are standard now.

Looks like my dealer has got a build week at the start of May.

Now where is SteveP, as he's picked his up by now, and got the remap done, and I'm waiting to hear how it's going?

^^^^
Nice spec, Oli 

But for those of us who prefer to touch cloth, don't VW offer a cloth option at all now on new GTD/GTI models?

No, it's leather only now! Which I like!

[SteveP]

Very nice Olly, pretty much identical spec to mine 

Picked mine up on Monday and I am very please with it, the engine is very smooth and sounds pretty good for a diesel.

Performance wise in standard form it isn't going to set the world on fire but that has been resolved with a trip to Revo today.

The remap doesn't change the power delivery as such as it does on the TFSI's, it just seams more egger and gains speed much much quicker 

Might have some interesting DPF developments in the pipeline to that should help to get some more power from it too 

[Oli]

Sounds interesting.

I'm looking forward to hear all about re-map and DPF. Keep the details coming........

Is here a big change after the map, power wise?

[SteveP]

Power wise it's meant to be 208bhp and 350ft lb. 

[Oli]

Meant to be?  Does it feel GTi fast now, albeit different power delivery?

Meant to be = tuners figures 

Yep I would say it's up there with a stock GTI

Just looking back at this, forgot o mention I've also ordered a sunroof - handy in this weather

....As I expect you already know, a sunroof is great in all sorts of weathers because you can lift the back up by varying amounts to help ventilation. I'm someone who never uses aircon.

With mine having a sun roof i never use the aircon

I love a sunroof, but also use air con.  I find with climate I never turn it off.

Note to all those with a/c, make sure you use it every week, to keep it in good condition, stops beactera build up, and stops the seals drying out.

My car should be going into build soon I think, Ive just emailed the dealer to find out.  I thik I will get it sometime in June.

Talking REVO, as Im going to have it done wehn I collect it, does anyone know the approx cost with a SPS unit?  I usually pay approx £300 for an Oettinger map, but I want it switchable on the GTD.

[Oli]

Just got a call. The GTD goes into build two weeks today. Will Definately see it sometime in June.
