Hi guys i’ve recently just got a MK6 Golf GTI (10 plate).. it has the standard head unit in, I was looking for some advice on what one to get that is decent and has car play on. I have a reversing camera and the dynoaudio system so i’d would like it to work with them too! Any help and advice welcome.. cheers

Hi all!
Getting a H&R suspension kit for my mk6 1.4 Golf. Just was after some bump stops, was wondering if anyone knows if 034Motorsport is a good brand.

Yeah 034 is generally considered a solid brand in the VW/Audi world. 034Motorsport has been around since the mid-2000s making performance parts specifically for VW and Audi platforms, and a lot of their stuff is track-tested and developed in-house for those cars.

They’re pretty well known for things like mounts, suspension components, inserts, and tuning parts. A lot of VW/Audi specialists run their parts, and the general reputation is good quality and performance-focused engineering.

For bump stops specifically, their “Density Line” ones are designed for lowered setups and have a progressive compression profile so you keep more usable suspension travel instead of hitting the bump stop too early.

If you’re running an H&R kit on a MK6 Golf you should be fine with 034 parts. They’re not the cheapest option, but they’re usually regarded as decent quality.

Exonian - yes, funnily enough I did that yesterday. Makes the ride a bit less fidgety but doesn't help with the noise.

EIGHTY ONE THOUSAND EURO. For a Volkswagen Golf.

Golf mk8 / Mk8 to MK8.5 Upgrades / Swaps
« Last post by flipflops on 08 March 2026, 22:15 »
Are there any parts which swap over from the 8.5 to 8 to update the car at all?

I know the haptic steering wheel buttons can be swapped out for buttons, anything else people have found out about?

How can you tell which version you have and if it's running PV4?

Golf mk7 / Re: Oil Grade 0W-20 vs 5W-30

504 or 508 spec is quoted for my 2019 GTI

according to the service history 508 spec has been used at least once. Doing DIY oil changes I've always used 504. I'll be keeping mine on 504.

I was talking to a garage considered as an EA888 specialist and 508 0w20 didnt even get a mention. It was w30 for standard engines and w40 for modded and tuned examples.

Hankooks co mine too and I don’t hate them.
Mind you I’m scared of going within 12 inches of a kerb as there’s no rim protector as such.

chrisgolf1, have you tried dropping the tyre pressures 3 or 4 psi from factory recommended? It might help, and it’s free.
