Golf mk7 / Re: What have you done to your MK 7 today ?
« Last post by Lima29 on 21 May 2025, 14:31 »hi,
i think my heatshield is hanging on so will also need reattaching. Could you tell me if its a fairly easy job to do as i don't have access to any ramps?
thanks
If it’s the exhaust heat shield then it’s a 10-15 min job, no ramps/jacks needed. I did mine last week, lay on the drive with a pair of pliers to pull the remains of the old clips off and then replaced with these:-

quickly knocked into place with a socket & rubber hammer.

Golf mk6 / Re: MK7 Style HVAC upgrade
« Last post by Nino on 21 May 2025, 07:38 »I’ve been looking at doing this for ages, just haven’t got around to pulling the trigger on it yet. Might have to do it now.
Get it done, it feels and looks so much smarter in my opinion and easy to revert back to OEM if needed.

« Last post by EB2019 on 21 May 2025, 04:08 »@ paul70 Thanks, yeah B6 feel nice, probably too soft for the Ring, but balanced and firm enough for road use, especially with the driving roads around here.
No tourist laps for me these days, it's like the wild west out there. Locals in stripped out semi slick E36 BMW's, GT3 RS's racing and family Passat estates doing 60 mph, what could go wrong lol. I used to do them 10 years ago and more recently the odd official track day at the Ring but no TF laps. Haven't done any track days in this car at all Tbh.
Industry days are cool as you get to see the cars with camo racing round before they go to market. Quiet camouflage Boxter yesterday probably electric by the lack of sound.
@clubsport: Sorry you're right, when I wrote it I was thinking it didn't seem right in my head. The TCR wheels was what I was thinking about with the 18" Belvederes.

Golf mk8 / Re: Silencer delete
« Last post by HBW13 on 20 May 2025, 21:28 »I literally had this conversation with my dealer last week
Below is quote from the email he replied to me
"I have spoken to our Master Technician and he has advised not to do this as although it may not void the entire warranty it could void anything to do with the gearbox / engine and drivetrain"
So sadly I am going to leave it alone...
Hope this helps
