Golf mk8 / Re: How many get the 'OMG' thought after placing order!!
« Last post by BillSan on 16 January 2025, 09:07 »
I'd guess it's almost a universal feeling after a large purchase.  It certainly applies to my house, car, hi-fi, laptop, maybe even the washing machine!  It's part of the reason we keep browsing, even after committing to buy, just so we can check if anything 'better' is available.

We research and test before we buy, but there are soooo many options that we can never be sure.  I suppose it has the benefit of keeping us busy.

(Thanks for the private chat GTI_for_her!, it's always good to read what forum members think about cars they've owned)

Golf mk7 / Coolant shut off valve - Heater Control Valve
« Last post by Jake1 on 15 January 2025, 20:40 »
Hi all,

Does anyone know if there’s a way to test the valve? Example should both pipes be red hot etc?

Having heating troubles car does seem to get warm slowly also the far right vent seems to get the hottest.

Golf mk7 / Re: Heater Blowing Cold Air

Hello all,

thought I'd revive this thread, as I have the same issue.

I tried a flap reset and hot air only comes out on the vent nearest the passenger door. If I close the vent, some heat come to the middle 2 vents, but none to the drivers side.

Would this be blocked heater matrix perhaps?



Did you ever manage to resolve this mate?

From my experience main dealers are good at telling you what you want to hear on the diff servicing, "yes it's been done" as part of a warranty repair suggested to me that it had not been touched, beware...

I was feeling like that yesterday when I rang the dealer to make an enquiry and 5 hours later I bought a mk8.5 GTi. Although my previous cars include an M3, Golf R and two Golf GTis, my current car is an Audi A3 which I have had and enjoyed from new 4 years ago, it just does not have the character that a GTi has.

Even when I drove my Audi this morning I was questioning OMG what have I done.

Good afternoon peeps,

Hope you're well.

My name is Wayne, and I am currently on the search, for a standard Mk7 GTI 5 door in DSG guise. I've narowed the colour down to Grey or Red, as I'm definately not a white car person.

I did consider the R, but not with the theft rate, through the roof. I'd be forever checking on it lol.

Never owned a GTI  or any VW for that matter before, having been Audi, BMW or Ford for years, but ULEZ is playing a part, and now need to part ways with my A7, and get something petrol based.

I've got quite a healthy budget, so will have a decent pick of cars, if any take my eye.

Then first thing will be a Stage 1 remap and leave it there.

Just thought I'd say hello, and hopefully do some decent research here, to assist with my search.

Cheers

W.

No, it’s not just you. I can certainly remember having the same thought when I bought my last two VW’s.
