What have you done to your MK 7 today ?

[willni]

Mine has been parked up in the garage all clean and shiny for the last week after I washed it and put it away last Friday.

I think that’s the longest I haven’t driven it- except when away on holiday.

One of the nice things about owning more than one vehicle, is that each one has a purpose, and you can rotate usage.

So I’ve been using the 205, the motorbike and the family bus, and just enjoying the look of the golf for the last week.

Next week back to work and school, and the golf comes out of hibernation.

With the exception of driving the family bus, I'm sure it's a nice jump back into the golf after the 205 & motorbike to make you appreciate the now common luxuries a modern car has.

I like to pop an air freshener in the car if I know I'm leaving it in the garage for a few days, adds to the fresh factor

Oh, I’m very much looking forward to driving the golf again- so much to appreciate and enjoy in that car.
There are some roads- or sections of roads- that I prefer to drive in the golf than either the 205 or the bike.
It may not have a charismatic engine but the chassis and the accuracy of the steering make it a joy to drive on the faster twisty A roads.
And i can listen to absolute 80s on the way to work!
Last few years I’ve enjoyed a horses for courses approach to motoring.

Changed the diverter valve, seems to be better with boost

I ordered the TCR Rear Spoiler today for my car and I can confirm the mk8 golf Rubber mats fit perfectly into the mk7, and look much nicer than the mk7 triangle mats, they are not for my car however.

I like the idea of rubber mats and will probably get some, but I hate that "GOLF" script.

I didn't like it that much either, but it's probably one of those things you notice it for the first week then forget about. Although it is the perfect shade for a white silver car

Always amuses me that a Golf badge doesn’t appear on a GTI.
Also interesting that the mats from a MK8 are a perfect fit for a MK7? Another indication that under the skin and without the suspect software and infotainment interface they are not hugely different?

The Polo badge doesn’t appear on the Polo GTI / GTI+ either, so VW probably did this to help create a separate ‘GTI’ identity and sub-brand.

On the mk8 GTI, there is one Golf ‘badge’ (not really a badge per se, as it’s the word ‘Golf’ impressed into a plastic trim piece). It’s on the panel in front of the wireless charging pad and phone cover in the front section of the centre console.

I took the plunge and ordered the Mountune stage 1 remap which is supposed to be kind to the clutch on manual cars

Interested to hear how you get on with it.

Any reason you chose Mountune over Revo, Abt, Racingline etc..?
