I would like to add could it be gp regen blocked due to the short trips I make?
Would the warning light come if this the case?
Thanks

Golf mk7 / Clubsport S Question.
« Last post by EB2019 on 14 April 2024, 08:37 »Hi
Does your Clubsport S come with under bonnet sound insulation?
Can't find a good picture in reviews on Evo, Autocar, Pistonheads or Topgear.
I 'm guessing if it was to protect the paint the Clubsport s would have it fitted?
They sag/shrink on the mk7/7.5 Golfs and aren't worth the £120, mine is doing the same and it bugs me every time I open the bonnet. Apparently the RS3 and TTRS doesn't come with the sound pad (different engine) but is the Clubsport S the same? It would make sense that the metal exposed to the engine heat will radiate heat away better than the sound proof pad and possibly a little more noise?
I took mine off yesterday and cleaned the engine bay however the upper part of the bonnet was very hot above the Turbo and just want to check VW thought it was ok enough to remove it on certain cars?

Take the car for a short drive and avoid using the brakes as much as possible. Just a few miles should be enough. Then go around and feel each brake disk (carefully) for heat. If any are really hot, you have a sticking caliper. It's very common with low mileage use.

I have a golf gti mark 7 2019. It has done 10000 miles
I was getting up to 52 mpg for a long time and during the last 6 months this has reduced to 33 on a run driving at 55. Driving on a regular route. When in fifth or sixth gear it feels like it is in third gear. In fact on a shorter run I get better mileage. I have never experienced this before. I have been the owner of four Gti during the last 35 years! I have the same driving style.
It has been checked out and no faults found
The tyres are inflated to 38.
The brakes have been cleaned
No faults show on the dash.
I am informed there is nothing wrong with it! That they are thirsty cars!
Please could someone help me?
Thank you.
