Golf mk7 / Re: Wireless Android Auto adaptors?
« Last post by jdoubleu on Today at 08:49 »I am currently using an Ottocast mini, but I have an AA wireless 2+ on order. The Ottocast was absolutely fine and I suspect some of the issues I see are actually to do with the car (though in my case, this is actually in an Audi A4).
I originally wanted the AA wireless 2+ as that seems to be the go-to for this purpose, it just wasn't generally available when I was looking. I can try to report back in a week or so once I've got it.

Golf mk8 / Rear wiper - am I going mad..?
« Last post by CarbonGTD on 15 February 2026, 14:53 »I only noticed yesterday - the rear wiper on my 8.5 GTI 265 doesn't sweep a full 180 deg - it only sweeps to maybe 170 deg? Now I have had many Golfs before and I have never noticed on any of them the rear wiper to not sweep the full 180 deg - but maybe I just never noticed before?? Anyone out there with a Mk 8.5 GTI that can confirm whether yours is the same??

Golf mk7 / Re: LED Boot Light
« Last post by Rudedog on 15 February 2026, 00:40 »Reading this prompted me to have a look this easy mod - I went for these from eBay.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/140471578326
Received them today and fitted them dead easy - definitely take out the trim and the light together which made getting the bulb out really easy. With these bulbs have had no errors.
I bought these before I knew VW even did a replacement light - checked the SN and seems either it's out of stock or the cheapest is around £25 - I don't have access to a TPS. Very interesting the whole light is made in the UK, must be the only VW part I've seen with UK/GB markings on.
