I’ve sent my VIN to the eBay seller Darlo.
I strongly suspect the answer will be no as the Golf 8 doesn’t appear on any of the tech sheets.
Edit just got this back from them:

Hi Andy,
according to Volkswagen, the Golf VIII is not compatible. But I can imagine that it will work anyway.
Unfortunately, I cannot guarantee it.
