Cars and parts for sale / Personalised registration GT11 PAW
« Last post by Willmore on Today at 12:20 »
Hi,
I bought GT11 PAW last year.
I have a GTD and my initials are PAW, however I’ve since bought another plate.
It’s not been assigned to a vehicle and is still on the DVLA V750 form.
Offers over £400.
Thanks. Paul

Golf mk8 / Re: Newer mk8 cs vs older mk8 cs
« Last post by DrG_GTi on Today at 07:18 »
I have a 21 CS, since its had the standard warranty work, new steering wheel, gear selector, software updates, its perfectly fine. Still has random bongs, but nothing most other modern cars (bmw etc) get as things like the cold, condensation and general ice, grime etc, cover/interact with external sensors such as radar, assistance cameras and thier housings and the like. I'd say ignore the haters, as long as its been looked after and had the warranty work, service schedule at VW, you should be good.

This might be of interest to some. Not sure how they’ll actually get the cars though.

The 50 can have the sharpest transmission in individual mode...

And probably a gift will be present...

Those gifts are exclusive to the Spanish market (at least the Mk8 replica) where they have decided to sell only 325 units.

How many miles have you done since the new discs?
Both pad deposition and interface with hub being out of true tend to only cause problems 1000-5000 miles later. Don't ask me how I know....

Sorry, it's been a while since I was last on...

Since the new front discs were fitted, its been around 6000 miles. Rear discs and pads are now looking bad too i've noticed.

So once this poxy rain naffs off, I'll check all the wheel bearings, for play, and have also purchased brand new discs and pads all round.

I'll put them on and carry out the specific bedding in process and see if anything returns, if the bearings are all good.

Going to try Tartex pads as they seemed to get good reviews. Not a fan of Brembo pads, i've decided.

Golf mk7 / Re: Soundaktor disconnection

Know this is an old thread, but I coded mine out this afternoon, with OBDEleven.

Only cost 10 credits, and is loads better, because I can't stand that fake sound.

Sounded like an old diesel engine, as others mentioned.
Even Eco setting was annoying. So I turned it off completely.

I'll get to hear a Turbo with Induction, now....... :grin:

Ooooh. Great spot! Seems to contradict what I’ve been told (in classic Vw style!). I’ve asked my dealer about it as I only ordered 2 weeks ago. Worth a shot!

Finger on the pulse Andy!

Hi Andy,

Apparently this is all Golf’s apart from the edition 50. But, if you’re an existing Vw finance customer, or have been in the past 12 months, you get a £1000 deposit contribution on the 50.

From VW’s website:
