Golf mk8 / Re: GTI Edition 50 order thread
« Last post by Pooksta_5 on 03 June 2026, 13:27 »
Finally got my 0024 plaque from dealer today, now where to put it….. most peoples I’ve seen seem to be on the side when you open the drivers door, but for me why keep it hidden with a door closing on it. My preferred choice at the moment is just by where your left knee sits kinda right side of the gearbox column.

Cosmetic and bodywork matters / Zaero body kits
« Last post by JamieClubsport45 on 03 June 2026, 13:26 »
I am thinking of getting a full bodykit by Zaero rather than Maxton.
They are more expensive than Maxton but look better. It will be for my Clubsport 45.
Just wondered if anyone has had any experience with Zaero or heard anything about them.

That looks pretty special there Tom. What an ED should look like, not just another GTI.

Hi guys,

Been trying to diagnose a rattle for a while now and every time i research it, it all comes back to being my 'actuator rod arm' and that is what's causing this noise I'm experiencing.

It's a rattly noise i hear at low revs, usually in 2nd and 3rd, once i get past a certain RPM it disappears. The apparent fix is a turbo wastegate clip, but then everywhere I look says this is only a fix for the MK6 and not the 7.

Can anyone else help me here, has anyone had this issue and resolved it in a MK7?

Thanks so much!


Not really help on the mk7 but had the above on my mk6 GTI and the clip cured it 100% is mk7 not the same?

Golf mk7 / Dreaded - Gearbox Malfunction - you can continue driving - Error in Dash
« Last post by Al1040 on 02 June 2026, 15:03 »
Coming back from Manchester early evening last Friday in the warm weather I had the error above come up on the dash and lost odd number gears  :sad:
Managed to get home but it did get progressivley worse.

I Manged to pull the code with my OBD11 and it was P173500 (Position Sensor for Clutch 1 Electrical Malfunction).

I have done a bit of ringing around and it looks to be in the region of 2k if the Mechatronic unit needs replacing which is highly likely. There is of course a TSP for the fault in the UK but unlike US, Aus etc VW have not put out a recall!!

Another option would be to send the unit away for refurbishment for c. £400 but of course would require removing etc.

What are the thoughts of our esteemed members on the best way forward?

Thanks in advance.

Car currently has c.83k, DQ381 7 speed.
I manged to clear the fault and had a quick drive and it has not reoccured.

I thought the Golf GTI 25th anniversary edition was a mk4, not a mk2. There was also a diesel version as well as a petrol version.

Welcome! Interested in more details of the car as I don't recognise that spec.

You may not many replies on here.

However, Goodyear F1 A/S 6 has a good reputation for a quieter ride than most low profile performance tyres. Last year I changed to them from Michelin PS 5 s and noticed some difference.
