Golf mk8 / Re: Software glitches? Anyone experienced these
« Last post by agentutah on 16 March 2026, 21:50 »
Yep I've had quite a few.   Pretty sure mine are all software related too! 

https://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=291515.0

I've also had sporadic disappearance of numbers on speedo briefly and then they return.  Don't get me started on the heated seats and steering wheel auto function.  Ive turned it off now as it didn't come on in baltic temperatures, but the seat came on the other day when ambient temperature was well over 10 degrees  :grin: 
Have had few glitches with infotainment system where it lags and have to do a hard reset.  Its all a little frustrating really!

Anyways I've now booked mine in at my local VW dealer, but got to wait until end of April before they can give me an appointment with courtesy car!   This apparently is due to all courtesy cars being booked out due to a large recall of their ID electric vehicles.

Deffo gunmetal, I spent an eternity pondering colour and so glad I went with gunmetal, really pops when clean against the red callipers.

If you get a 2020 model under 6 years old pop it on the 'all in' vw service plan and you'll have some piece of mind with the warranty etc. They're great cars :)

General discussion / 19 inch Pretorias from CMwheels

I’m looking to get replica Pretorias from CMwheels but unsure of which colour to get, for reference I’ve got a Tungsten Silver GTI, which I heard suits both colours for Pretorias

Yes I will upload one shortly
I placed mine on the rear opposite the GTI

Fair, I got the "35" badge there on mine, I might stick this to my service folder :D

Fine, you convinced me. I ordered one.  :whistle:

I will wait for your review  :smiley:

So it's arrived and to be honest, I don't think I will use it.
Have you got a picture of yours fitted?
It is far to big and in your face, really not sure if I like it or not.

Golf mk6 / Re: New Head Unit
« Last post by Nino on 16 March 2026, 07:28 »
I looked into this. My car also has Dynaudio and reverse camera. From what I could tell, the RCD330 should work fine with Dynaudio but it does not look like a straight swap for the reverse camera. I gave up on my research last time but might revisit in the future!

The Dynaudio shouldn't have any special loom for a head unit, all that is taken care of at the amp on under your boot floor with the sub.

With the reverse camera, the RCD330 should form memory have an input via RCA.

Golf mk8 / Re: mk8.5 GTI road noise

Carbon GTD - thanks for reporting back and glad that the tyre swap has made the car more liveable with.

I drove a few other cars on Friday; a 320i, C class estate and an A4 Avant and it seems to me that your point about the lack of sound deadening in the GTI 8.5 is relevant; none of those cars had the kind of roar and boomy resonance that the GTI can have on rough roads making it so hard to live with for some. My partners 2024 Polo also has it on rough roads so perhaps it's a problem across the range.
