Golf mk8 / Re: 8.5 GTI - issues with fuel system, had the car 4 months
« Last post by AbsoluteAnorak on 10 April 2026, 16:39 »Just an update on this, in case it helps anyone else out.
Car has been with the VW dealer in Tamworth for nearly 3 weeks now. Repeated repair attempts appear to not solve the issue. I'm not certain what the extent of their repairs have been so far (other than the initial two new injectors), I was told "wiring needs changing and re-coding" so I assume some harness has been replaced (not sure why that would need coding to the vehicle though). As of right now, I'm told VW UK technicians have advised to replace the inlet manifold, which is being delivered tomorrow and is being fitted on Monday. We'll see. Will update on any further replacements or progress as and when. What a faff.
I'll be contacting my lease company and the broker v. soon to apply some pressure to VW and enquire about some form of compensation. I'm paying for a GTI and I've been driving a T-Cross for the last three weeks. Pretty big downgrade...

« Last post by MrEdition50 on 10 April 2026, 09:38 »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

« Last post by JoeGTI on 09 April 2026, 21:47 »I just looked, that’s unreal 🤯 I don’t understand how the prices vary so dramatically
We get a right seeing to over here I’m afraid! High taxes on cars, particularly anything performance that doesn’t come with batteries
