Golf mk7 / Re: 19" Wheel and Tyre weight?
« Last post by flipflops on 25 April 2025, 19:02 »As a guide: Tyre 235:35:19 around 10kg.
19” OEM VW Alloys around 10kg.
Some Aftermarket alloys are lighter, 8kg upwards.
If you are buying Alloys with tyres fitted, you may want to look at Paisley Freight as a courier. Decent prices and good Service in my experience.
I used Paisley Freight when I sold a set of alloys last year. I live in Norfolk and the buyer was in Wales, and the alloys were delivered on time and undamaged, although whether or not they arrive at destination undamaged will largely depend on how well the seller packages them up.
Thanks for the confirmation on PF

« Last post by HBW13 on 25 April 2025, 13:56 »Located the noise!!!! It was driving me mad!!
It wasn't the light strip but the door padding above that
When I heard the nose then leaned over and put pressure on it, the noise would go. For the moment I've wedged a small piece of plastic in there and peace and quiet again.
Going back to VW in MAY!!!
Thanks all for the messages
One of the most annoying noises I have ever heard.

Golf mk7 / Re: Dynamic cornering light error
« Last post by breezasib on 25 April 2025, 13:22 »Quick update on this one:
Went in for diagnostics and a fault was found with the LED output module.
Second visit to replace the module but further diagnostics showed a problem that required a complete replacement headlight.
Third visit to replace the headlight and get it calibrated.
£2458 in total !!!! but luckily covered under the extended warranty
