Golf mk8 / Re: 8.5 Clubsport and no DCC
« Last post by davo245 on 16 January 2026, 07:18 »
I had a 7.5 performance with DCC I spec'd as a paid option from factory also on 19s, I now have a MK8 Gti without DCC also on 19's and find the suspension perfect never once do I ha paid for DCC I would not pay extra for it again.

Found myself never really changing it on 7.5 tbh I know they only had 3 settings unlike the 8 but comfort was too soft and sport to hard for most surfaces so just left in normal most of the time.

My choice was £53470 in Tornado Red with diamond cut Estorils, PP and a sunroof. Lovely. Will just have to hope some sucker orders that combo and loses a shed load of cash after no miles so I can pick it up for a steal at 6 months old.

Watts, you had a TR GTI for a good few years. How much work does it need to keep it looking good? Is it durable?

It was great. I'm no detailer and yet it still looked fantastic most of the time. A deep glossy glow. On a nice day even if dirty it still looked good.

Thanks for the feedback Watts. Hope you are enjoying your new Clubsport!

The clunk will more than likely be the pad unsticking from the disc. The caliper maybe sticking slightly and just needcleaning and regreasing. I have to do my Leon ones more or less every year as it lives outside in a wet and windy area.
 The fault code though maybe something else if it wouldn't let you move. A scan will give you more info. Most garages will have a scan tool and see what exact faults are stored.

Got a couple of calls lined up in the next few days. Looking to order Tornado Red and PP including 19s. The low rate of interest has swung it for me possibly.

Good luck with the calls, I wonder how many cars have been allocated to dealers in this first round?

Cheers. I’ve asked both dealers that same question. Is there a presale then a general sale too?

My choice would be white or red with the PP option and the graphite warmenau

Can’t beat a white GTI and I’ve seen too many Tornado Pink VWs.

Shame we just get the leather steering wheel option in the UK.
