Also, that’s not my car, mine don’t have PP 😬

I will be in the minority but really not getting on with DSG, seems to take part of driving away which I enjoy

Or is that not a 'thing' anymore?

Did you get round to ordering one or are you waiting to see if there are any discounts on stock cars?I haven't ordered one so far Paul! I may reconsider if VW start discounting them but I really can't see that happening. I'm also really enjoying my Black Edition 8.5R and I live in hope that an RS3 engined version may appear next year!

Golf mk7 / Re: What have you done to your MK 7 today ?
« Last post by Sanemancured on 13 April 2026, 18:42 »Being new to my car I decided to remove the silica gel pouch from the coolant reservoir and cable tie the bonnet release cable box.
I was too late with the silica gel pouch. I got it out and it seems complete but there’s silica gel stuck in the reservoir so I’ve ordered a replacement. I did remove it and I tried to clean it out.
I’m getting the system flushed when the cambelt is done at the end of this month.
I took the car for a run and got a low tyre pressure warning. The tyres are fine and I reset the sensors.
The vehicle information display between the clocks isn’t showing any data.
