Golf mk7 / Helix sub wiring
« Last post by Jay166 on 19 August 2026, 20:02 »Evening all,
I have tried searching the forum but have come up blank. I am trying to find out the vw part number of the wiring loom needed to install a Helix plug and play sub (I know that the sub itself is discontinued). Any help is appreciated and apologies if I have missed it in an existing post.
Cheers.

Golf mk2 / OEM part numbers catalouge
« Last post by jurys06 on 19 August 2026, 18:07 »Hi everyone,
does anybody have some website or book, whatever, where you can find OEM part numbers?
I have seen some pages but not every part was right.
Only one page where i find this pdf/book:
https://type19specialists.com/shop/library/catalogue-mk2-full/
but dont know if there are parts for engine coded EV, so i really dont want to buy this for 45 euros and find out that there are not all OEM numbers for my golf

« Last post by arciere on 19 August 2026, 14:49 »I had a similar rattle and the cause was the small clips at the end of the seat rail. The rail which the front seats slide back and forth on has a tiny clip on the end of it and mine was loose and rattling, solved it with some black electrical tape but both of the clips were loose and rattling. You could also insert a small piece of paper to stop the clip from moving that would work too.I'll take a look, thanks. I'd be surprised if those clips could make a loud enough rattle that can be heard at 70 mph or more, also given than the GTI is not the most soundproofed car.

« Last post by arciere on 19 August 2026, 14:48 »Loose under tray?I'm tempted to say it's definitely coming from outside the cabin, but I could be wrong.
Loose exhaust hangers?
Or is it definitely coming from inside the cabin?
Sometimes, when it's more noticeable, I almost feel like a tiny vibration under my feet, indicating that something around that area is definitely moving more than it should.

« Last post by arciere on 19 August 2026, 14:46 »Rattles can be very difficult to pinpoint. You are 99% sure it's coming from a particular location and it turns out to be something entirely different.Thanks, I will definitely take a look. It sounds like two plates, one metal and one plastic, touching each other, but as I said it's really annoying because it doesn't do it all the time and it rarely does it when the car has just started (which could have something to do with metal expanding due to heat, but that's a wild guess).
A common one I've seen reported is the centre console. It would be worth checking this.... slide both front seats forward as far they will go and at the bottom of the centre console at the rear, there is a bolt/screw on either side (below the armrest, near the carpet). I think these screws and/or the covers over them are prone to working loose.
