Check your fuses, VW did this as a separate fuse on older golfs, might be the same here. Unplugging it generates an internal error but nothing else happens.

What are peoples thoughts on the Golf GTE?
I'm with multicar but it works out that I'm paying about £366 with 10 years NCB, driving for 10 years, no claims with my GF on it and I'm 28. Think my postcode is the worst thing about my insurance though.
Not even had a look against the R
, I suppose it is too new being just released as well to compare against the other Hybrid's out there ... , maybe in a few years time..

Really nice looking car, but are the wheels supposed to be like that? They would really set my teeth on edge if I saw them like that everyday!

Yes they are supposed to be like that, if you mean the two tone black/silver thing. It seems to be very popular at the moment...
I actually like that wheel style, but in most cases I'd prefer it if they hadn't bothered and just made it all silver. The standard GT86 wheels are a good example of this.
The fact that the "pointy bits" of the alloys only follow the movement of the car on one side is playing with my OCD something chronic though...
Hell I'd be tempted if I could afford it. 400BHP as standard, and manual transmission!

No, I like the two-tone. I meant one side pointing towards the front and the other towards the back.

Ah. Well yeah I mentioned that too, and it does bug me, but there isn't a way around it unless they have different wheel styles for each side, or re-design the wheels.
It'll be interesting to see if Audi release a car using the same engine/power profile - maybe an RS3 Ultra Black Edition Plus

I really wanted them to use the 5 cylinder from the RS3

I'd rather have a charged R32 than a tuned R

The Golf R32 was too nose heavy to be fun in the twisties, and the twisties are more fun than a straight.
Do love one of the comments on the R400/R420 article:
"But I don't think this R400 can keep up with the 600hp Lancers, & these +500hp Honda's Civics.. These "Tuner Racers," know their stuff, and their decent drivers.. But, my driving skills are on a professionallevel, and I know a thing or two about tuning.."

WGAF when it makes that noise though

Exactly!

True. From inside all 4 Pot's make the same droning noise.
But if you were deaf...
