Golf mk8 / Re: GTI Edition 50 first press release
« Last post by gti85 on 15 December 2025, 18:24 »I was interested in the ED50, but I couldn’t possibly justify it at over €80k with the performance package here in Ireland. We really get screwed here with our tax system. The same car is less than €60k in Germany.
I can’t see many being sold here at that price.

Golf mk7 / 7.5 performance dsg remap
« Last post by andygo on 15 December 2025, 18:08 »I'm thinking of a remap for the DSG box in my wifes 2019 7.5 performance dsg.
The gearbox seems to be absolutely pants compared to my Cayman GTS with PDK. It's slow to wake up, and when it does it seems to be pretty dopey, coming out of roundabouts in a high gear, taking what seems like an age to drop gears. Often when it does respond it goes from 5th to 2nd which just upsets the chassis.
I realise my Cayman is a different animal but they are so far apart even thoughthey are basically software led,Is there any remap to help the situation? Even in manual mode it seems a bit of a gormless box and spoils the car. My old 7.5 R manual was much more fun - well once the clutch was changed to a Helix. The Cayman DSG is just a joy to use as it's so well set up.

I had a feeling it was Zimmermann who made the discs

Golf mk7 / Re: What have you done to your MK 7 today ?
« Last post by EB2019 on 15 December 2025, 16:18 »Another one flying through it's MOT without any advisories.
The car is 9 years old at the end of the month, having just passed 18k miles... I think I will hang on to it a little longer.
And drive it more?

We sure do
It's largely down to our emissions-based taxation system. Cars like these are heavily penalised by carbon/emissions based registration taxes. It's possible that the Edition 50's Co2 emission figures are tipping it into the next bracket above the standard CS which would help explain the ~8k premium.
