Golf mk8 / Re: GTI Edition 50 order thread
« Last post by JoeGTI on Today at 22:32 »
Fellow Irish members, I’ve had it confirmed by VW via my dealer that the extra cost for the semi-slick tyres in the configurator is a mistake. The tyres are included “free” in the performance pack.
Joe if this is the case it's a saving of 1400/1500 correct

Correct. It was €1400 approx. Car is a bargain now  :grin:

Golf mk7 / Re: What have you done to your MK 7 today ?
« Last post by rowlers on Today at 20:07 »
cleared handbrake faults. Faults cleared  handbrake toggled off/on and it is now happy, but can't be doing this every time I get in it...
So looks like I've got some investigations to do.

Left had side handbrake is failing to release properly. No heat getting generated so don't think it is sticking. Hopefully motor just not releasing quickly enough..

Golf mk7 / Mis Fire cylinder 2 - TCR
« Last post by mcmaddy on Today at 19:43 »
Got in the car to come home from work tonight and idle was lumpy and then further along the road the car started mis firing. Pulled over and plugged my obd11 in to find mis fire on cylinder 2. Are coil packs a warranty item or am going to have to buy a new one myself? Going to swap coil packs in the morning and see if the mis fire moves.

Can you share that German forum?

I thought that the black Warmenau wheels were “simpler” to produce than the silver/black ones…

It's this forum:

https://www.motor-talk.de/forum/gti-50-jahre-jubilaeumsmodell-2026-t8175078.html?page=168

I believe this is the German Pistonheads like forum, it's very active.

Bong update,
Took mine in for a service on Monday,  vw apparently not aware of any issues after the update but will log my concerns, pretty sure thay also did a software update and not had any issues since 🤞, also quoted £400 for a new ststeering wheel so well see what happens next (out of warranty btw)
Prob a bit late for you but have you considered the all in plan? I've just taken it out £960 ish, for two years. That is for two services, two MOTs and two years extended warranty with roadside assistance. It's a no brainer if you're planning on keeping the car. Personally I think it represents great value, hence why I took it out.
