Golf mk7 / Blind spot monitor Mk7.5 GTI
« Last post by davyk31 on 05 February 2026, 19:56 »
I am starting to have a look again at Mk7.5 Gti as my son fancies one. His current car has blind spot monitoring in the mirrors which I think is a great feature. Assume it’s not standard on the Gti but is it an option many cars would have? Is there a way to determine from pics of a car has it, for example does it work off extra sensors on the front and rear sides of the car,

The garage / tire change when car fitted with DCC
« Last post by candywhite12 on 05 February 2026, 17:46 »
do new tires need to be fitted by dealer/authorized workshop? would think that DCC needs to be calibrated so it's not simply changing tires, would assume this needs specialized equipment.

That’s a dilemma. The issue would bother me too but so would the thought of taking it to the dealership.
I’ll have a close look at mine later.

My dealer has added the £1k deposit contribution to my finance! Amazed it’s actually real. Thanks Andy for the heads up!

Result! 🎉🎈
That’s really good to hear Michele, well worth you making the call

Wouldn't bother if I were you, it fills me with dread taking my car to the dealer inevitably when they get their hands on it they do more harm than good.

I didn’t think this one was worthy of a new thread…

Has anyone ever seen this issue in their MK8 or 8.5? I just noticed it on mine in the last few days. The silver “trim” strip on the mobile charging cover is flaking a bit. A bit odd considering I rarely touch it!

It’s very minor and I’m wondering if it’s worth the aggravation mentioning to dealer especially if the entire centre console has to come out to resolve it.

My daughter has a spare tyre well full of water in her Mk 7 diesel Golf. Looked at the usual suspects and the drain tube in the centre of the hatch is missing so have ordered a new one. But two questions if I may. The spare wheel well had at least an inch of water in it. Can that all come from just a misplaced drain tube? And how does the water get from the tailgate into the boot?

I am obviously going to fix it, but concerned it may be the rear vents too. Looking for some reassurance that the drain can cause a very wet boot. He writes hopefully...

I had the same, quite deep. Replaced the drain tube. 3years now and bone dry.

You don't need to use credits to disable it. Just navigate to Structure Borne Sound, select Adaptation, find "Volume of structure-borne noise actuator," and change the value to 0
