Anyone know if these are snow certified for Germany?

Might solve a problem I have...

Yes they have the 3PMSF '3 Peaks' logo so snow cert, including Germany

I had a look on the Michelin site and they show this for the CC3 Sport.




That seems to indicate that they should be ok.

Oddly I can only find the CC3 Sport available in 18" but not 19".

Anyone got some of these CC3S fitted?

As I need some new fronts and pondering whether to opt for these over another pair of Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6.

Although the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 also seem to be highly regarded all season tyres.
Got four 235/35r19 last week, so a bit early to say but they seem fine, bit soft on the steering compared to the Asymmetric 6 it was running, but I am only running 39psi from the tyre shop and I was at 42psi before so I am going to experiment a bit, otherwise grip in the cold is improved compared to before with the tram-lining on worn road surfaces having all but vanished, they also seem to run quieter. I am not an expert.

Golf mk8 / Bongs when cold SOS, Lane assist etc. 8.5 GTI
« Last post by Ewankinch on 26 November 2025, 20:19 »
Has anyone experienced any faults with this recent cold weather? I have recently has some faults flag up when the weather has been cold when leaving work at nights. SOS emergency assist not avaliable, lane assist not available, radar impaired etc. They all flag up one after the other after driving a couple of hundred metres then a minute later they dissappear. I don't have this problem in the morning as my car is garaged at night. It must be the sensors fogging up but don't understand why they clear so quickly. Does anyone know if my car would need a software update? My car is a 2024 74 plate which probably has the original software when the 8.5s came out. I see that newer cars must have different software because they have the ac max button on the infotainment screen which mine doesn't have. Any help with this would be appreciated.

If its the same as the Mk8, the charging mat is terrible for iPhones.  The camera means it never sits flat so just cuts in/out.  I gave up on mine a long time ago.

Yeah they are known for this, its because they are direct injection.

 A walnut blast is the only fix.

One other thing I forgot to mention is the Diverter Valve (Also known as dump valve). I remember that certain revisions were known to fail I cannot remember for the life of me which part number is the latest ones. But they are relitively cheap so might be worth having that replaced too, MAKE SURE you only use OE parts unless its forge.

Golf mk7 / Hot air blowing only from passenger vent issue
« Last post by 2007GTI on 26 November 2025, 18:24 »
So this issue has been going on for years, if you put the heat on, it only comes out of the far side passenger face height vent. It gets a little bit hot on other vents, but will not blow out hot air, even if redirected.

Last year I replaced one of the temp flat motors and also the additional water pump which cleared the error, but I still only have hot air coming out of the far passenger vent.  It’s been bugging me so I finally got my trusted mechanic to pull the dash apart, thinking it might be another flap actuator.

After pulling the dash out and flushing the system, he tells me:

I can’t find anything obvious, all flaps and motor working how they should. No fault codes in the climate control module. I’ve flushed the matrix and hasn’t made any difference either.

So anyone got any ideas?

I think I saw in an initial review that they will be snow certified but always worth double checking before buying!

I just rang him and said to replace the pcv valve aswell he said it only had a little suction tbf so for that and piece of mind getting a new one.

So that will be new plugs, new pcv and I said to replace all coil packs too.

He did mention with how that cylinder 2 was dirty he mentioned poss valve may need cleaning (walnut)
