Golf mk8 / Re: 8.5 GTI with 19 inch Estoril with DCC?

What does sports suspension mean in this context?

I don't really understand why it would mean that you cannot have DCC, when you seem to be able to spec DCC on all CS wheel types which I assume also has a 'sports suspension'.

I ordered Jan 29th. My build week will apparently be 202513, so that's the week of 24th of March. In case anyone is curious as to current lead times.

That makes it 7.5 weeks from order to build week.

Had mine for 4 months now and not had any problems like that. Id does make a 'bong' on start up though and I can't understand what the bong is for, no errors anywhere.

Golf mk8 / Mk 8.5 operating system/screen gemlins??
« Last post by CarbonGTD on 06 February 2025, 09:23 »
I have had my new Mk 8.5 for 10 days - until this morning, all good.  This morning (cold 2 deg start) 3 times on my commute in to work the car 'lost' all settings as I drove along - so the instrument binnacle reverted back to 'factory' setting (not my chosen nav view) the tone controls for the audio reverted back to their 'flat eq' setting etc etc ie like some sort of system re-set.  Each time I reverted everything back to how it should be, only for the 'factory re-set' to happen again (as I was driving along) a few minutes later.  Really annoying.  Nothing like that happened in 4 yrs of owning my Mk 7.5 GTI PP.  Has anyone else had a gremlin like this in their Mk 8.5 so far??

So the factory has finally said they can’t build the car with Estorils and DCC. So I’ve had to change to Queenstown to get DCC. The Estorils only come with the sports suspension option apparently. Good old VW

I managed to obtain some of the history for the car I’m viewing it seems to be on a service plan that ends in 2028? Will ask the dealer for some more info but it’s surprising it has another 3years of servicing included, assuming it can be transferred to me.

Red Hammerite I'm hoping is a good match!
