Update:

Apline have released a recent Firmware update and by using the tool on thier website and abit of Photoshop skills, I have managed to alter the boot screen from the normal Alpine to a GTI one.

I have information and the message from internal vw showing exactly where and how to fit the limited edition plaques and it is only 1000 units this plaque is the one they are used, they say that once the build has a bin number the numbered plaques get automatically issued and sent out to the supplying dealers, 100% 1-1000 and numbered car

Are you able to share this info, where it is going, right hand side glove box area?

Lovely photos miromen, looks cracking. Congrats!

Golf mk6 / Re: grinding noise when shifting into 6th
« Last post by Nino on 15 April 2026, 22:16 »
Hi Markus,

Grinding into 6th isn’t normal most likely the 6th gear synchro starting to wear, especially if all other gears are fine. Could also be clutch not fully disengaging or slightly misadjusted linkage.

Try shifting a bit slower or double clutching if that helps, it points to synchros.

Worth checking gearbox oil too, especially if you’ve just bought it.

Golf mk6 / grinding noise when shifting into 6th
« Last post by Markusb207 on 15 April 2026, 22:11 »
hello, recently i purchased a golf gt 2.0l diesel from 2010, absolutely stunning first car i have ever bought, but driving it on motorways i have noticed something odd when shifting 5th to 6th, (also applies from any gear into 6th) changing gear half way you can hear a grinding noise. i cannot tell whether its the gearbox grinding, or the gear selector doing something funny.
just asking if anyone has the same problem or if there is a solution to this.

regards
Markus

Yep, can confirm my 75 plate GTI driver's seat does exactly the same thing - totally weird

They’re not unique to the Golf either, the up! GTI and a few other models with fractionally wider wheels than the cooking versions also sport similar winglets

Yes, the previous generation (the 6c) Polo GTI with standard 7.5J wide alloys had similar winglets. If the first owner went for the alternative factory optional alloy wheels which were a 7J alloy, you didn’t get the winglets.

Golf mk8 / Re: 8.5 - 1st oil change
« Last post by Paul70 on 15 April 2026, 21:00 »
The oil filter traps all the particulates so what’s the benefit in changing the oil without changing the filter especially when the filter is so easy to change, it takes 2 mins to change whilst the oil is changing so no extra labour, just the cost of the filter.

Personally, I would not use a garage that advised changing the oil without the filter.

The oil capacity for the engine is 5.7 litres but this will be less without a filter change, so 7 litres is far too much.
