Golf mk8 / Re: Do service at 12 months or not?
« Last post by joe6 on Today at 10:00 »
I would get the service done and then wait for August for the all in plan. Service costs will go up so you will probably save a few  £ by having the two 'free' ones later.

Golf mk8 / Re: 8.5 - 1st oil change
« Last post by joe6 on Today at 09:55 »
First oil change I personally would change the filter as well. Why leave any possible contaminants in the filter to get into new oil. Also old school with oil changes.  :smiley:

Guess as he's never being back since 18th March at 9.30am he hasn't seen the reply and tried it. Oh well. Don't know why I bother sometimes.

Detailing / Re: water spots spotted on front hood
« Last post by willni on 08 April 2026, 09:39 »
I'd say best course of action would be:

Bit of water and car shampoo on the area and clay bar the affected area
Dry it off
Put your megs compound onto a microfibre towel and buff (Should give you more cutting ability and generate more heat to remove)
Check that they're gone
Wipe down
Reapply your wax

Nice and simple approach and can be done after the next time you wash your car  :smiley:

Golf mk8 / Re: GTI Edition 50 first press release

I saw that plate and also hope it is true as it looks great
 No the price was just under 48 now it’s just over I think by £80 but it’s still an increase that shouldn’t happen

The build dates are a little longer than I thought. Mine is scheduled for build last week of May.

I see the £1000 contribution has been removed by VW.

I also got confirmation each car will receive the following name plate, which I think looks good.



Not sure if it was a rumour, but here’s the post from early. To me it looks like VW intranet/internal comms for their staff. They may have back-stepped on the plate idea if they’re forecasting more than 1000+ orders. Me personally, I would like a numbered plate, it looks quite good!

Was it not always 48k? Has the entire range price increased?
