Golf mk8 / Re: Keep an eye on your front sensor..
« Last post by davo245 on Today at 22:25 »



And by posting articles like this or links all it does is give more scumbags the headsup that they are easy to steal and worth a lot of money, when they had never realised! so probably not the best idea to keep posting links really.

All that does imo is get the thefts to be more common as more dodgy people read this too!

From our point of veiw unless our cars are garaged 24 7 nothing we can do to stop it anyway so only people it helps is the people who make money from stuff they steal.

Isn’t that “Golf” lady standing in front of a Passat??
And if thefts have been recorded since 2017 that would involve the Mk7 radar which was very different?
And finally, can you really just undo 3 screws and ouch the badge/sensor????

Golf mk7 / Re: Tyre recommendations

Quote from: Big Col on Today at 17:14
I'm about 2000 miles in on a set of Goodyear F1A6's and I'm not happy with the noise from them.

current car and the last 2 cars have been on the same size tyres. I've been through F1A3, F1A5 and PS4.
These F1A6's are noticeably noisier.

That's surprising as reviews I've seen have suggested that they are slightly quieter than PS4.

I'll be replacing my fronts (PS4) soon and I was considering the AS6.

Just returned from a 1,400 mile trip around France. Apart from a couple of spurious tyre pressure warnings it didn't miss a beat. The ACC and DCC in comfort mode made driving the autoroutes a breeze.

Still loving this car after nearly 5 years.

H41ly, I have a genuine VW TCR diffuser I may be selling. It's been professionally painted along the top edge in textured satin finish to match the GTi sideskirts and front. Let me know if this is something you may be interested in.

JB73, Car looks fantastic.
