Golf mk7 / Re: Wet boot and drain in hatch question.

My daughter has a spare tyre well full of water in her Mk 7 diesel Golf. Looked at the usual suspects and the drain tube in the centre of the hatch is missing so have ordered a new one. But two questions if I may. The spare wheel well had at least an inch of water in it. Can that all come from just a misplaced drain tube? And how does the water get from the tailgate into the boot?

I am obviously going to fix it, but concerned it may be the rear vents too. Looking for some reassurance that the drain can cause a very wet boot. He writes hopefully...

I had the same, quite deep. Replaced the drain tube. 3years now and bone dry.

You don't need to use credits to disable it. Just navigate to Structure Borne Sound, select Adaptation, find "Volume of structure-borne noise actuator," and change the value to 0

Yeah this can lead to water in the boot. But it could be the rear vents too!

The cause might also be perished seals around the rear light clusters.

I unplugged the one on ours too. The EA888 isn't the worlds best sounding engine by a long way but it sounds a lot better than some fake buzzing noise behind the windscreen.

Golf mk7 GTD/TDI / U140000 fault code
« Last post by Jay166 on 04 February 2026, 19:02 »
Hi everyone. I have tried searching the forum for this but without success.
This morning I went to start my 18 GTD, the engine turned over and over but would not catch. Locked and unlocked the car, tried again, same result. Walked away for two hours, started first time!
Took the car to a local garage to get the codes read, Came up with U140000 Function restriction due to low voltage. Can anyone tell me what this is likely to be?
On a side note, the scan also threw up air con fault code B10A929, any pointers on this would also be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.

Golf mk8 / Re: GTI Edition 50 order thread
« Last post by TomGti50 on 04 February 2026, 18:38 »
Ordered mine in Belgium on 31/12/25.
Ordered it without PP as I was afraid it would be to harsh for daily use.
It wasn't until last friday,when the first online reviews came, and all of them were very clear that the PP is a must and it doesn't compromise the comfort much.
I rang the dealer on saturday to try to change my order to include the PP.
He said he couldn't change it anymore, as it was allready planned in the factory.
On monday I got a call back that there still was a small chance it could be done by the Belgian importer, but I shouldn't get my hopes up to high. He mailed me a new order, I signed it and mailed it back to the dealer. He would contact me on tuesday to let me know if the importer was successfull.
Didn't hear him on tuesday and couldn't reach him today, so in my mind I allready gave up.
Untill five minutes ago: got a call from the dealer and the importer has managed to change my car to a PP  :laugh:
Only slight disadvantage is that they couldn't tell me if the deliverydate would be a little later, but I can live with that.

My dealer has added the £1k deposit contribution to my finance! Amazed it’s actually real. Thanks Andy for the heads up!
