Now then fellas, a mate of mine is looking at mk5 GTI's, and has asked me if all the DSG GTI's have flappy paddles or was it an option that became std at a certain build year?
Thanx in advance :smiley:
-
IIRC they werent always standard, not sure when the switch was, but I have seen a GTI DSG without the paddles, so something he should be checking.
-
I'm not 100% but I think it was MY06 onwards that got flappy paddles as standard for DSG, definitely MY07 had them as standard.

^^^^
When I ordered mine in May 2005 (Jeeze! that's 5 years ago already), I was given the option on DSG of flappy paddles or not.
My car was built the week starting 11th July 2005 (aren't I a saddo to remember that - I can't remember the date of my wedding, but now being divorced helps) and is a Build-06 car delivered and plated August 05.
I think that July is normally the annual spec change date in Wolfsburg.

MY05 didn't have them as standard, you had to spec the MFSW. MY 06 onwards it was standard.
-
Should be standard on either 06 or 56 plated cars generally speaking
-
Yes early version cars were optional on the 05 cars. 05-54 were without unless spec'd gaz.

cheers fellas :happy2:
