Hi, does the mk8 gti have a diff like the CS and 7.5 pp please?

Thanks,



Yes but it is an electronic diff, not the same diff as a clubsport and 7.5 pp they are a mechanical proper diff.
I think you’re wrong. Both mk7 with PP and the mk8 as standard come with the VAQ differential.

Fuel filler flap notchy when opening and closing ,works fine ,is this normal? It seems to have 3 movements when closing.
Keep it lubricated, drop of 3 in 1 oil every now and again.

They are known for seizing up. The shaft twists as you close the flap and the small lugs lock it. If it seizes while shut it is a PITA to get open.

Options are change the solenoid that is easy enough apart from the plug is buried inside the boot and trim has to come off to get to it. OR cut off the small lugs on the pin so it will shut as normal but will not lock or get jammed shut. You can either leave it like that or change it when you get time then. I trimmed my shaft a few months ago..........er  :embarrassed: as it was notchy. I have a new solenoid I will put on when it gets warmer.

Golf mk5 / Golf 5 Gti Clamp that holds the Turbo Sections Together
« Last post by Golfoldie26 on 01 May 2026, 17:31 »
Hi,
My 2007 Golf GTi has lost the clamp holds together the 2 sections of the turbocharger at the exhaust end.
I'm having trouble getting a replacement as it isn't listed as a spare.
Can anyone advise where I could get one - have tried lots of suppliers and breakers already?
Even happy to buy a broken turbo to salvage the part if necessary.

Thanks
Golfoldie
