Cars and parts for sale / GOLF Mk7 2012-2020 Insulated engine under tray £45
« Last post by ianr8 on 31 January 2026, 15:12 »
I sold my GTI last year and have a few bits to sell on, one of which is this.

It was fitted to my 2013 GTI and just needed the additional three bolts (included in the sale and in the plastic bag) along with the existing fittings to swap them around. Takes about 15 mins to swap if that.

This is the part number stamped on it: 5Q0825236

Please get in touch with any questions.  Payment by bank transfer please.

Not sure how to price it. Does £45 inc postage to sound fair?

Car audio / HK sound issues
« Last post by candywhite12 on 31 January 2026, 13:50 »
got intermittent sound twice in a week, music cuts, thought it was my usb stick and my music, nope, same with radio and spotify.  Had to hard reset the system.  Some members in other forums mention having to change the OSF Control Unit (part code 572035876G), others cite that is happens because of CarPlay or Android Auto. 

As if the disappointment that for such a lovely car, such a poor audio system choice wasn't enough...

Anyone else experiencing this?

makes for an interesting read, cheers mate.  I'll also post in car audio section as im facing some issues with intermittent sound now and then


Hi C

Really useful feedback, thanks.

Many have been disappointed with the HK system, particularly those coming form a MK7/MK7.5.

I don't know if you have seen it, but I make these for members looking to improve the set-up with a simple plug and play option.

100% positive feedback, including many with HK, as it uses the standard system speaker!

Any queries, just shout.


@candywhite12 posted of their disappointment in the HK system on the car audio forum board so I replied to that post about your plug and play upgrade with link to the discussion topic you started. Hopefully @candywhite12 will read either that post or this one.

Golf mk8 / Re: GTI Edition 50 first press release

I’m back to visit you all here, I’ve read the posts, seen the pictures, watched a few videos and been through the ed50 configurator…. My current status is: ‘mildly intrigued’ 😅

I really like the look of the ed50, controversially, I even like the green with red wheels.

It’s great to see a few people ordering, especially long term CS/CS45 owners. That must mean you’ve enjoyed the CS and fancy something with (hopefully) a little extra fizz?

I’d love to get back into a golf, and have often found myself looking at what TCRs are available. I think the ed50 might be special enough for me to consider (although I don’t buy the future desirability propaganda, it isn’t a Clubsport S).

But! At the minute, I just can’t get past the price. I’ve put my spec into carwow and there doesn’t seem to be any deals available, this means an ed50 is a whopping £16,000 more than I paid for the CS45. If I could get one for my M2 plus around £8k I’d consider, but for now, I’ll wait and see if either my status changes, or, deals start to pop up.

Any thoughts on a sensible price for this now please? She has covered 49,300 miles now. I have looked on AT for comparable and the prices are still all over

Now the embargo is lifted there’s going to be a whole load of vids released.
I’ll watch a few over the weekend, time permitting, but I see Autocar have put up a road and track vid Watts plus the usual Autogefuhl etc launch reviews. Otherwise it’ll be a wait until the UK on road reviews.

Just watched the 'Nobby on cars' review, very interesting. I'd be tempted (not at full price though) but wonder just how much better than a regular CS it would be to drive. Having said that, I'm struggling to get many opportunities to stretch the legs on mine given how many decent roads have reduced speed limits these days and the constant swerving to avoid huge pot holes.

I was also surprised as to how much I liked the green with black wheels combination, would be a difficult decision with TR.

I went to 18s with 235/40 SC7s on my Clubsport S. HLT Leggera ET49 (you can get them in ET 45 too if you want more poke).
Much better ride and set up is just under 12kg lighter than 19 Prets - and stronger ;)
£2000 for whole package - wheels and tyres - delivered from Wheelbase Alloys. And perfectly balanced too.
