Haha that's something from a good few years back!
It's not registered anymore and all it did was redirect to the GTI version.


I think he might mean the stickers bossman.  :wink:

Blimey, I switch out for a few days, wander back over here and this has happened!
At least it’s a proper colour and having owned both polished and now all black Estorils I can say without doubt the polished ones look waaayyy better. I’d go mid grey if they ever need refurbing btw.

Oh, and a tentative congrats Watts!
The 8.5 has a much more responsive engine and better brakes than a TCR. And the best feature - a heated steering wheel.

Well done for making the BIG change you wanted  :whistle:

Cheers! It's a shock for me too :laugh:. I didn't have need to test the brakes but the engine response was just like the TCR but with the pedalbox on, the loss of which was really bugging me.

My little chilly digits are looking forward to some properly cold weather now!

Golf mk8 / Re: creacking doors - not the rubber seals
« Last post by JoeGTI on 16 September 2025, 21:50 »
It’s almost certainly the door seals. More specifically, around the top of the door frame, those “furry” lined rubbers. I had it on my MK8.5 CS recently and oddly enough I don’t think I ever had it in my previous MK8.

Anyway, I recommend you get a bottle of Krytox. It’s what the dealers use for this. Can get it on Amazon I think. It’s a very small bottle but I’ve got mine for years, since my MK7 had this issue. You only need to smear a small drop of it, get it right into the rubber seal around the top of the door frame.

Before you start pulling it to bits, from personal experience I would try (a) clean seals with isopropyl to strip  wax residue, (b) treat rubber door seals with Gummi Pfledge and then (c) lube the furry / felt-like seals with this stuff - worked for me - mine were driving me bananas. Thanks to member Carlosfandango for the recommendation - the lube is great👍


I already lubricated them several times with Gummi Pfledge and sprayed silicone spray in all the possible places
But I did not try cleaning it with isopropyl alcohol and then re-applying
So i'll try that and hopefully it will help
