Golf mk8 / Re: GTI Edition 50 first press release
« Last post by Exonian on Today at 16:16 »
Whilst discussing another matter with my local dealer in March this year I did ask about the Ed50 as the sales manager had literally just got back from the big event VW threw for dealers and sales staff in Wolfsburg.
They had been shown the Ed50 at the event but sworn to secrecy as far as spec and looks are concerned. What they were allowed to say was the model would be produced for the whole year of 2026 with no limitations to numbers. We can assume that some cars won’t be delivered until the following year going from that.
Obviously this was a while ago now so they had no idea on pricing or whether it would be exempt from sales promotions etc.

Golf mk5 / Re: MK5 at an official dealer
« Last post by SRGTD on Today at 15:36 »
A GTI from an era when everything just seemed to work as it should and all the driver needed to do was get in and drive :smiley:. No nannying driver aids or potentially troublesome software to contend with either.

I often thought it strange that VW supplied a bottle opener as the divider between the two cupholders in the centre console (I seem to remember the mk6 had one too); did VW encourage drinking alcohol consumption in the car in the noughties? :shocked:

Hopefully the dealer will re-fit the rear wiper before sale; I’ve never understood the appeal of removing something designed to aid rearward visibility, but then I’m old and grumpy……….. :angry:

I wonder as well, if you're looking for a 3-door, it might be one of the safer purchases you can make if it comes with the two year warranty

Cars and parts for sale / Re: AXX de cat wanted
« Last post by The_Doc on Today at 01:36 »
Don’t have a source for a decatted pipe, but why do you want one? It would almost certainly make your car illegal for use on UK roads (if they could meet emissions regs without them, manufacturers would) and there’s not practical reason to need one. All it will do is make your car smell worse, and throw a CEL. Instead of a decat, get a down pipe with a good high flow cat that meets emissions regs, is better for everyone.
