Golf mk7 / Re: What have you done to your MK 7 today ?

Having invested in a new trolley jack, I spent the morning cleaning and applying the annual coat of Tetroseal anti corrosion gloop to the underside, suspension and subframe of the Golf.... Living the dream! :)

I signed up for updates weeks ago and I've heard absolutely nowt. :sad:  For those that have, does it say exactly what the PP comprises of, in particular the wheels?

No specific details apart from the Akrapovic.  Based on the different wheel options listed for the performance pack variants, the standard PP wheels are black Warmenau, but you can select any other 19 inch wheel option for the same price. The wheel options are also available without the PP.
Thanks, black Warmenaus would be my choice.  Wonder if there will be any pcp contributions, there wasn't with the Edition 40 (not sure about the Ed45).

They look to be only slightly more expensive than Ate on AutoDoc, I'll also go for them next time around https://www.auto-doc.ie/zimmermann/7789437

This is a photo where the logo is on the hub, depending on your alloy style you may need to remove the wheel to see it.

I am really excited about flying out to pickup the 40th Anniversary GTI on Saturday. Following that, I have a 5-6 hour drive home.
My initial concern was comments I stumbled upon saying that the wireless connectivity was less than ideal, and had frequent dropouts. They strongly recommended using a hard cable.
I then came across this, and similar comments in several places, and it concerns me. I will certainly be in need of NAV, and Sirius/XM radio on the way home.

"Are there problems connecting newer Samsung Phones To 2023 VW GTI's for Android Auto?
Yes, there are problems connecting newer Samsung phones to 2023 VW GTI's for Android Auto. Users have reported issues with Samsung Galaxy S23 phones not connecting to the VW system, even when using different USB ports and cables. Some users have resolved the issue by using an Android Auto wireless receiver. It appears that the problem is not specific to the S23 series but may also affect other newer Samsung phones. Volkswagen has not provided firmware updates for the 2023 GTI S trim, which may contribute to the connectivity issues."

Has this problem ever been resolved? I have a current top model Samsung and am concerned.

I have an S23 Ultra connects wireless to my 2021 GTI never had any issues never needed a cable.

I'm coming to the conclusion that maybe the TRW logo might be misleading - the braking system VW use is either ATE or TRW, it could be that this is why TRW is on the pads to indicate they are compatible with your brake calliper - my OE pads I've just taken off had Jurid stamped in the little window section - given a choice I wouldn't buy Jurid pads.

Now I've started using ceramic pads I wouldn't go back - this time I bought ATE ceramic pads but next time I'll be trying to find someone selling the Zimmermann ones.
