Looking for a used mk8.5 GTI for the misses. Is it safe to assume cars optioned with Queenstown alloys have DCC aswell? It seems on the configurator you are forced to select DCC with the Queenstown alloys. Is that a new change or always been that way? I have searched the forum but not getting any hits, I'm probably being stupid! I called up a VW dealership earlier and asked someone in sales, it almost blew their mind 

Any info on the subject would be appreciated!

Hello all.
Early apologies if this cuts across protocol and happy to be moderated in first post , but I’m actively searching for the above .
Ideally looking for 5 door/ manual / without modifications and  hopefully less than 40,000 miles and some meaningful service history .
Having driven the Mk1 all the way through to Mk 7.5 I remain a massive fan and hopefully I can acquire one of your carefully cherished cars?
Of course , if there is a Wanted section please can this to moved to that section and I’ll keep checking into the Sale section on new availability .
Looking fwd to hearing from you , as a genuine private purchaser with cash .

Germans are getting reemed by the Chinese for several reasons:

1) The advantage they had in complex engineering such as engines and gearboxes are not applicable to EV's - EV's are very much less complex things to design. The only really clever bit is the battery... and the Chinese developed the battery tech to start with.

2) Germans (and other European car makers) made a massive mis step in EV's by making them premium (priced) vehicles and not focusing on cheap mass market first. They ended up with millions of unsold vehicles which in turn dragged down their financial state.

3) The Germans assumed the Chinese market would want their cars and not Chinese made ones and similarly assumed Europeans would feel the same.

Basically German ubermensch superiority hubris has killed them.... and it probably has killed them.

Morning guys,

Not strictly GTi but booking at a 2014 Golf GT Tech and i am trying to work out if these are factory fit Xenons, or some aftermarket fitment type as i cannot find any other pictures on the web, or a VW brochure.

Never seen L Shaped DRLs on these, just the 'U' shape.

Picture aint great as i grabbed a screen shot



Cheers!





Although looking at this pic, it may be U shaped and its the front angle that doesnt show them properly?

Centre speaker ordered 👍😊
I really appreciate your hard work on devising the upgrade and looking forward to the sound improvement.
I have missed having a decent sound system since my Golf MK7 GTI with the Dynaudio upgrade.
