General discussion / Re: Going from TCR to TTRS Nogaro
« Last post by Peter_booker2003 on 22 April 2026, 21:01 »
I didn't end up making the jump in the end. Went and saw a TTRS Nogaro and whilst it was amazing there is still something that keeps bringing me back to the TCR.

Cheers for all your insights.

Golf mk8 / Re: Centre Speaker Upgrade

Hi

So you have a MK8.5 with the Audison upgrade? If so, a few owners have experienced this with the MK8.5, which is cured with the Hertz.

Many thanks.

Hi

With the Audison fitted some MK8.5 owners were reporting crackles. First thought it was interference with the larger screen but more than likely software or amp hardware differences.

The Hertz doesn’t suffer with this.

Cheers

I've noticed this, so I may look to change to the Hertz option.

Are the kits the same minus the speaker itself?

That’s what I’m hoping happens for me. It’s booked in. In August. Bloody long wait!

fair enough, quoting from my Audio post then:

got intermittent sound twice in a week, music cuts, thought it was my usb stick and my music, nope, same with radio and spotify.  Had to hard reset the system.  Some members in other forums mention having to change the OSF Control Unit (part code 572035876G), others cite that is happens because of CarPlay or Android Auto.

As if the disappointment that for such a lovely car, such a poor audio system choice wasn't enough...

Anyone else experiencing this?

makes for an interesting read, cheers mate.  I'll also post in car audio section as im facing some issues with intermittent sound now and then

I’m not sure too many mk8.5 owners visit the car audio section of the forum so probably worth posting your details of your audio issues here as well.
Hey how did you get on with the sound?
I have a new GTI 50 and I have the same problem with the sound dropping out.

Thank you all for your kind words 
 We will double check Tuesday but was under the impression they are standard  and should be fitted  when they do the of
 Will ring later to check and remind them about the blocks
 Wendy first golf was a yellow mk1 not gti 
The gti came years later on the mk2 in grey 8v only sold the parcel shelf last month  I then bought a 16v in grey for my self in 1989 and sold that 3 years ago along the way have owned mk1 2 3 4 5 6 7 7.5 8 now 8.5 
 So probably the last golf she will own as is adamant she is never going electric lol

It looks brilliant, Garwen!

Good pointers by Joe too. I also would ask to double and triple check they take out the transport blocks. Sometimes they ‘forget’

For the wheel caps, I was under the impression you had to the spec the £160 something option as dynamic wheel caps when configuring it? UK website doesn’t show it as standard. If not, well sh!t I spec’ed the wrong thing but adding that option, I didn’t know they were standard spec.

Yeah I’m not actually 100% sure they are standard either but pretty much every press shot shows them and VW’s own configurator images show them fitted too as you build the car. Agree, they don’t make it very clear though.
