Picking this up tomorrow..

Late 2015 VW CC

Black Leather

Bit different from the GTI, but will at least get more than 200 miles to the tank lol

My first Diesel! (any recommended mods?)

Very nice! Must be one of the last of that shape with the Discover Nav. I really loved ours but Mrs Lyons hated it!

Was looking into it, apparently it was only the later 2015 and up ones that got discover (along with the newer EA288 engine)

After the emissions thing they put the gtd engine in them and the radio is usually the give away, if they have that, then it should also have the ability to have apple car play fitted to it. It will tell you to request a pin from the dealer but you will have to pay for it.

Nice, I do like these!

Mods, usualy, slight lowering, debadge the boot, remap the ECU and TCU

I am sure you can retrofit other parts from other models as well.

Looks great - these have aged really well; surprisingly spacious as well given they're coupe-y shape and the boot is enormous!

It has the option for App-Connect, but it's not activated! (yet)

Debadge is happening, remap is likely...

It has the DCC suspension, which i'd like to keep, so I'd need to get KW's DCC kit, which is out of my price range for now!

Any more info on how this is done?

If you have the stereo the same as mine, £250 at VW and they'll activate it (some cars need the USB port swapped out too)

That price was from Boucher Road

Auto park is great, I’m going to wreck all round me when trying to park again in a normal car lol

900 miles to a tank! What's the capacity on them?

I was really surprised how well it works, especially for parallel parking if your not confident, i was told you only need 40cm front and back which is tight enough, id be surprised if you could park better/quicker as consistently.

70 liter tank in them, i would also be a fairly careful driver (hypermiler) and was getting high 50's to low 60's to the gallon on a full tank (calculated not read from the trip computer) on mostly hilly A & B roads....i have no doubt doing motorway miles i could get 1000 mile to a tank easily

I'm just hoping for more than the 250 miles I got from the GTI :sweat:

With the higher power and DSG box id expect MPG in around the high 40's to low 50's so should be good for over 700 miles per tank.
