Golf mk7 / Re: LED Boot Light
« Last post by 2007GTI on 08 February 2026, 17:53 »Looking back I bought a generic brand one off eBay for my boot in 2019 for £3.95, seller not around anyone, but it’s still working fine and no errors.
I would just buy one and cross your fingers, it’s so low voltage unlikely to cause issues.

Golf mk7 / De-condensating headlights
« Last post by Bluest on 08 February 2026, 12:01 »I get a small amount of condensation in my headlights when the weather is cold. Thought id try this to see if I can stop it. I bought some sachets of silica desiccant and.affixed some the inside of the access cover with double sided tape. Will it work? No idea, but I will report back.

« Last post by Paul70 on 08 February 2026, 11:08 »The build dates are a little longer than I thought. Mine is scheduled for build last week of May.
I see the £1000 contribution has been removed by VW.
I also got confirmation each car will receive the following name plate, which I think looks good.

It would be worth signing for finance if that gives you further discounts and then settle up once delivery is taken. See if the “fantastic fortnight” deals apply if ringing this coming week. Good luck Valentino
