Golf mk7 / Re: Coolant silicon bag
« Last post by MinchCS on 04 December 2025, 21:04 »To replace the silicate bag with something a) new and b) more robust. It is not designed for our water bottles but, by coincidence, clips in where the bag used to sit. It's an option if you want to remove the bag but want to avoid the inevitable coolant change required if you do as existing coolant will age quicker without the silicates.

PS, when I say new, I am referring to it being in better nick (and therefore less likely to fail) than your 10 year old bag, not that it contains anything new or fancy,

When you go thru options it says it doesn’t fit Golf GTI?
Also surely they can be found in UK? that is in USA, shipping will be expensive.

Golf mk8 / Re: Harmon Kardon woes
« Last post by fredgroves on 04 December 2025, 09:15 »Yes the mode buttons (lightning bolt, palm tree etc) do something that is independent of the eq.
I did try and get documentation about how the damned thing works but both HK and vw told me to f off. Which was nice.

« Last post by KFiddy on 03 December 2025, 23:52 »swapping out that center speaker made a real difference to my system, I've also changed out the sub for the Cerwin Vega. My EQ is sitting nearly flat now. I use the music note setting; I used the lightning bolt setting for a while but found this does some weird phasing that makes vocals "disappear" on some tracks
