Golf mk8 / Leaves etc behind lower grill
« Last post by neiln20 on 02 September 2025, 11:28 »
Hi All!

After a 2500 mile round European trip I’ve got the task of returning the car back to showroom condition! Some leaves and other random debris have found their way behind the lower bumper grill; I’ve tried looking online for some type of telescopic cherry picker type devise which can fit into the gaps but can’t seem to find anything. I’ve not tried a hoover yet, but some are right at the back towards the radiator so not sure it would be powerful enough....any ideas / suggestions?

Golf mk7 / Re: Audi 19" rotors

Avoid anything originally designed for an A1 as the PCD will be all wrong (5x100 not the required 5x112)
I used to know all the specs but can’t remember a lot of it now so I’ll have to be vague.
The bigger Audis use a bigger hub, you need a 57.1 centre bore but wheels for the A6’s and the like have much bigger centre bores which would need sleeving down with spigot rings.
If you stick with 8” wide versions you can get away with around 40mm offset on the front and 35mm on the rear of a 7.5 Golf.
Go wider than 8” and you’ll have to be careful with catching, particularly on the front.

Hi, can you give some more details on the reduced adjustability of the seats please? I’ve a 7.5 at the moment and plan to order an ED50, but as a tall chap (6ft 2) I’m now a bit concerned about seating position. I thought the seats were fundamentally the same seat.

Thanks!

Presume the 8.5 seats are same as mk8 i have had a mk7.5 performance and now a mk8 the seats are my mk8 are day a night better than the 7.5 much improved.

  :grin: :grin: Great stuff!

Golf mk7 GTD/TDI / NOX Catalyst Trap Bank 1 CODE - But I dont have Nox sensors???
« Last post by bodz on 01 September 2025, 18:20 »
Long shot... but here goes. So I have this error code on my vw mk7 gtd 2015 135k mileage.

It does its regens no problem. Technician told me he doesnt understand as there is no NOX sensors so what's the problem. Ive had the top lambda sensor changed and having done some research, it says check the values of temps, oxygen etc. But technician is saying he doesnt see that that would necessarily tell it exactly what's wrong because an error code saying the sensor is damaged would've come up.

He said he's had one in before and hasn't been able to figure it out.

Anyone had similar issue.

Cars and parts for sale / Re: 18" Matt Gunmetal Team Dynamics Wheels
« Last post by BillSan on 01 September 2025, 09:40 »
I've corrected the colour in the Thread Subject as the wheels are officially 'Matt Gunmetal' rather than 'Graphite'.

It would have helped if I'd given you the name of the wheels as well - they are "Team Dynamics Motorsport Pro-Race Y-Spoke".

Here's a link to the wheels so you can see more detail: https://www.rimstyle.com/tdpys-gmm-team-dynamics-motorsport-pro-race-y-spoke.html?filter_6uqzcdas0m=18%22&filter_bfjqioivvd=18%26quot%3B&gad_campaignid=21861724700&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAD_T3mrWAE5lwpqYx3oqMaYReQYc1&gclid=CjwKCAjwiNXFBhBKEiwAPSaPCbWQx1x4tvXiPyzkplvFAWqRIY257WzI7sNPQGkcACgpy8KL7jJJFRoC7dkQAvD_BwE&tab=1&vehicleId=94087-202221&vehicleYear=2021&et=42&fitmentId=389066

Golf mk6 / Re: What have you done to your Mk6 today then?

Thanks :smiley:

Hard to tell, they were warm but could be due to a warm engine bay?
Thanks, I'll see how it goes.

Little more...
Just washed her... Best part of 3 hours
Haven't had time to clean her in the last few weeks
Due to the kids holidays sadly the kids (7 & 4) don't seem to
Share my enthusiasm in keeping her clean and tidy they are more interested in how to crush daddy's spirits again... Anyways
I used some new chemical guys items today (see pic) and while they were no where near as easy to use as the creative advertising they had on their web site I was pleasantly surprised.
The foam seemed to cling longer and actually take a fair amount of dirt off with it and I diluted some of the bug/tar stuff and it was a lot easier to remove! Hope this may help someone looking for some decent products...
Go well all

That sounds poor Adam. That's early build MK8 problems level...

Is your car an early build 8.5?
