I was generally under the impression that it could improve it but I would say mine is definitely not better.

Golf mk7 / Re: Battery low voltage

Back along (early part of 2025) my 2018 seemed to half stall randomly when coming to a stop as if the SS was active (although I switch it off every journey), believe there's a service bulletin which recommends battery replacement in such cases, that done and never seen the problem since..

Golf mk7 / Re: DSG oil change
« Last post by Wayne.R on 23 December 2025, 18:14 »
An old thread....I know...

But, my car is ready for it's 3rd DSG fluid and filter change.

I have VCDS so can monitor the temp level, just purchased 5 litres of Liqui Moly 8100 DSG fluid, and the coupling to add to my bleeder bottle, to screw into the gearbox opening.

Are there any tips or things I need to be aware of, when doing this?

I've read that the engine, has to remain running when dropping the final fluid, once it's up to temp. Any truth in that?

Also, how much have I got to cycle through the gearbox, when the new fluid is in and coming up to temp?

Cheers

Wayne.

Or just code it out, using OBDeleven. I hate SS. PITA. So used a 10 credit option and turned it off permantantly.

Ive just bought a 2018 gte mk7.5 and i have a few questions. Not sure if this is the correct thread but please point me kn the correct direction


1.there is a little condensation in the lights. It looks like to get into the bulb area, you need to remove some screws on the back cover. I want to sey out the moisture somehow, what is the best way to do this?

2. When i press unlock on the key, it only opens the drivers door but i want it to unlock everything. I cant see a way to do this via the settings in the car?

3.Which OBD do i need to get in order to unlock those special features that the car can do?



OBDeleven is great, the subscription model kinda sucks though. VCDS is dealer lever and more costly but you can get it cheaper if you look...

Carista is supposedly good, but I have no experience in using it.
CarScanner app is £5, and can be used with a decent OBD bluetooth dongle. I've used it to clear codes and view live data, but not used it for coding.
Hope that helps..
