Golf mk8 / Re: GTI Edition 50 order thread
« Last post by JoeGTI on 29 March 2026, 18:47 »Fellow Irish members, I’ve had it confirmed by VW via my dealer that the extra cost for the semi-slick tyres in the configurator is a mistake. The tyres are included “free” in the performance pack.

Golf mk6 / Re: Intake manifold
« Last post by joe6 on 29 March 2026, 17:18 »Revisiting this thread. Took manifold off and cleaned which seemed to work as carbon build up. Lasted for about 3 months then fault back so have now replaced it. What a pain to keep removing and then got a misfire and smoke after new manifold installed!! Tested spark plug and coil but it eventually found I must have damaged an Injector on cylinder 4 so removed again. Finally all fixed. May be time to sell?

Golf mk7 / Re: What have you done to your MK 7 today ?
« Last post by Kechos on 28 March 2026, 20:45 »Any links to the guides mentioned?
https://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=283174.0
The pics in the guide sub-linked within that topic are dead so I also used this Youtube vid just to get an idea of how to access (not full disassembly), bearing in mind that car's LHD so the wipers are mirrored meaning I could only get the right panel out.

Golf mk2 / MK2 GOLF GTI 16V STEEL COOLANT PIPE
« Last post by PhilWR on 28 March 2026, 12:47 »I am replacing the steel coolant pipe on my 1992 GTI 16V. It is a 1992 model with a KR engine. The part number for the pipe is: 027 121 065P. Can anyone advise if 027 121 065D will fit. They look the same? The suffix D part number model list includes the 8 valve engine?
If not any ideas where I can get one.
Thanks.

Golf mk8 / 8.5 Dashboard display
« Last post by valentino on 28 March 2026, 08:35 »I like to have a dashboard display without clutter. On mine i have chosen the circular rev counter and speedo with no display in the centres. How do you get the area between the two circles to just display maybe the speed or the date and time, as mine as you scroll through with the up arrow just shows info like average consumpton, average speed etc with just looks messy?
Thanks in advance
Thanks in advance
