Congratulations Miromen, your car looks fantastic! How are you finding the drive in comparison to your previous golf?

I have only driven a few kilometers so I don't want to rate it yet.
However, I didn't expect such good comfort/smoothness from the chassis. It's no worse than the standard pre-facelift GTI on 18"

In general do you have to ask for your brand new carto be delivered with all of the white protective wrapping on?

Or is that not a 'thing' anymore?

I’d always ask for the protective wrapping to be removed - the dealer can’t inspect the car for damage as part of the PDI if the wrapping’s left on.

Cars can - and do - get damaged in transit from the factory to the dealership; if you ask the dealer to leave the wrapping on and you discover damage when you - or a detailer - remove it (the wrapping) after you’ve left the dealership, you’ll be on your own to get the damage fixed at your expense.

Hi guys,

Had many a MK5 in my life but recently bought a 2014 MK7 and have to say I am absolutely loving it! However, this morning when I got up to go to work I noticed what looked like a bit of oil on the floor where I had been parked, specifically near the drivers side tyre. I haven't had chance to look at it properly yet or get underneath it, but is there anything 'common' that I should look out for here? Anything on that side of the engine etc that could have caused it?

I have checked the levels manually and it was all good so if it is a leak it's likely to be small.

Cheers

I got the oem ones as yes  there Defenetly required with this wet weather
 I’m sure there will be after market ones that will come out

Hi all

I am considering selling my TCR and replacing it with a TTRS Nogaro edition. I have had the TCR for two years and love it but have a hankering for a TTRS - especially the limited run Nogaro edition. I have no finance on the TCR but would need some finance to fund the TTRS (affordable but finance none the less).

The TCR is a superbly specced car and runs like a dream along with being great to drive. I have always been a golf fan owning all the special editions from ED30 upwards.

Has anyone else made the jump to the TTRS and if so, would you mind letting me know your thoughts? I'd be keen to hear from others when have considered such swaps. For clarity, the Nogaro edition is about twice the price of the TCR, is slightly newer and has few miles than my car but is the jump worth it?

Appreciate the feedback as ever.

Cheers
