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

Awesome, thank you! I’ll give them a buzz

Thanks very much for the replies and suggestions, my wing mirror now dips when in reverse and returns to normal position when I go forward - great result!

Golf mk7 / Re: Annoying, intermittent tapping noise from B pillar.

I had the door card clips replaced on mine which solved a similar sounding issue. Try pressing the top of the rear door card in the top corner and around just behind the pillar to see if that helps.

My sisters GTi had this, slam the boot made it rattle.

Golf mk8 / Grenadilla?
« Last post by Exonian on 30 April 2024, 20:06 »
As far as I was always aware the Golf R could only be specced in Pearl Black, White or Blue.

I have no idea how or why I ended up there but I found myself scanning through incoming stock of R’s and Clubsports (well, it beats watching Corrie) and spotted a car in a slightly unusual shade. I clicked on it and it showed it listed as Grenadilla Black. A more in depth search turned up a few more listed in that shade including at least one R20 Years.

Can anybody shed any light on it?

I’ve learned later in life that price only matters before you buy anything.
What is really important is living with your decision and being happy.
So clearly right to avoid this one.
(In similar vein I have regretted not up-speccing my cars when changing then wishing I had).
The right buy will be out there for you.
Happy hunting.

Sorry guys, I think Youtube compresses the video which takes some of the sound away. I've popped the video into my One Drive if you don't mind taking a look.

No mods at the moment until the warranty runs out.

To be honest it could be a heat shield touching when accelerating possibly..

Which heat shields are usually the main culprits?
