That's why I didn't think about PP.

Golf mk8 / Re: GTI Edition 50 first press release
« Last post by miromen on 15 April 2026, 17:00 »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"

Golf mk8 / Audio Question
« Last post by K9Pyro on 15 April 2026, 15:54 »Hi,
Last week I put up a post about my boot sub, this one;
https://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=291567.0
I didn’t get any answers so thought I’d add it here to catch any owners who can help.
Best I can tell, the sub I have is that same one in all other VAG group cars, it doesn’t seem to be a HK one. Is that correct? Doesn’t the HK upgrade get you a upgraded sub?
Can anyone with a 2024/24 Golf GTI with the HK upgrade have a look at what they have please?
Thanks all

Golf mk8 / Re: Red Edition 50 spotted on the M6
« Last post by SRGTD on 15 April 2026, 14:19 »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.

Golf mk7 / New MK7 owner - Oil leak, help?
« Last post by KodapMK7 on 15 April 2026, 13:43 »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

General discussion / Re: Going from TCR to TTRS Nogaro
« Last post by Watts on 14 April 2026, 20:43 »I haven't but, cars like these are going to get old and disappear soon so I'd say if you can, do it. Exciting new cars seem few and far between and also very expensive. Even if you enjoyed it for a year and then moved it on at least you'd experienced it.

General discussion / Going from TCR to TTRS Nogaro
« Last post by Peter_booker2003 on 14 April 2026, 20:19 »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
