Today's brief golf moment was checking my tyre pressures. I actually expected to find them inflated by the dealer to the fully loaded values (41 psi). Instead they were all slightly under the light load values (38 psi). Could just be my crap electric pump not reading true but I've put them up to 38 anyway.

It didn't seem to make much difference to the ride and handling in a negative way anyway (had a quick blast to test my settings... Like you do)

I checked mine about an hour after picking it up and they were all 2-3psi over the light load value.  Don't forget to set your sensors.

Does the non HK  have the centre speaker.... might as well ask those in the know
Mine is non-HK and it does have the centre speaker.

Loads!

I made a noise like an excited girl and almost went back to do it again but the weather was grim and I just wanted to get to my destination.

Another day I'll be back  :cool:

Haha. That’s really good to hear.

Best way to stay interested in a car is to drive your favourite road/bend ever so often.

Be interested to know if the mk8 gti is more fun than a 7.5 performance.
