Your local TPS should be able to order them for you, some won't deal with the public though.

Where it says "GTI" is just a plate which presses into the caliper.

Part number 5G0698221.

You lil legend, thank you! Saved me from creating a mess with paint. I had a quick browse online, looks like they’re not readily available only. Any ideas where one could source these from? Otherwise I’ll ask my local VW garage to see if they can bring some in for me.

hi everyone thanks for all the valuable feedback , I have no idea how much I should be paying . any ideas thanks

From Raw2K Vehicle Auctions web site (Google is your friend :wink:);

How much value does a Category N car lose?
Even if a Cat N car has been repaired competently and to a flawless standard, it will likely see somewhere between a 20% and 40% decrease in sale value, compared to a similar model of the same age, condition and mileage.

Link to website ; https://www.raw2k.co.uk/news/all-your-questions-answered-about-category-n-salvage-cars

As the above is from a vehicle auctions website, I’m assuming that reference to ‘sale value’ relates to an auction sale price, but I’d expect that lower auction price to flow through to the motor trader’s retail price. If it doesn’t, then if a motor trader advertises a Cat N repaired car for the same or similar price as a non-Cat N car, they’re pricing it too high IMHO.

Golf mk8 / Golf MK8 GTD gear error select code V682
« Last post by swinny599 on Today at 16:54 »
Hi I’m having a massive issue with my Golf GTD. There’s an error select light appeared on the dash and I’ve been to the garage and they’ve said it is a V682 gear selector issue. The car drives perfectly still ans there’s no obvious driving issues. The problem is it’s a lease and I’m trying to give the car back and they won’t accept it back with the light on. Currently, there are no parts in the country or in Germany and they’ve no idea when any will be manufactured. Does anyone have a solutions to this? I was thinking a breakers yard? VW won’t even give me the part number! All I’ve got is the attached picture with the required part highlighted in gold.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Golf mk7 / Metallic sound on acceleration
« Last post by SanHolo92 on Today at 16:43 »
Hi guys,

First post so sorry it’s straight to asking for help.  :grin:

I have a 2016GTI PP with 72k miles.

I’ve noticed over the last few weeks a sort of metallic sound at the front of the car when I accelerate at anything more than a potter.

Doesn’t happen when you rev the car at idle so only happens when there is load on the engine. I was worried it was my compressor wheel touching the housing but I’ve checked the turbo and it all appears to be fine.

The car runs and drives fine but my warranty ends in August so if it’s something on its way out I’d rather get it sorted now while it’s free  :grin:

I’ve done a short video which you can just about hear it and any help would be very much appreciated.
