Golf mk7 / Re: Revs sitting at 1200rpm
« Last post by Big Col on 23 March 2026, 20:32 »
Mine doesnt sit at 1200 rpm all the time but 2 observations,

Even if up to full operating temperature, if you park up for 15 mins to pop into a shop it's noisy for about 60 secs on the restart. The ECU must be doing 'something' similar to a cold start.

The harder you work the HVAC the idle speed will increase. My GTD did this too.

I would be interested in you thoughts on the coilovers too. Very little good info on the Streetcomforts online. Looking for something that's an upgrade without going too low or trashing the ride

Did you say you were going to report on the coilovers sometime ?

Is that standard ride height? Can you recall the wheel spec? Looks awesome

Golf mk7 / Re: CSS in 'Y' car park LGW

Well that's odd: mine was due to be there this week but our flights to Dubai to visit family working there was cancelled (unsurprisingly). That would have made 3!

Hello to the owner of the lovely looking white CSS (with personal plate) at LGW.

Thats 2 out of the 150 UK cars sharing the same work car park. Slim odds on that!

Surely the LED cornering lights don't have fans? Don't think there's enough space in there.

Modern ones have the fan built in and they are the same size as standard Bulbs. I have been using the MAXGTRS ones for a few years, just upgraded to the new ones below with 3 sided LED's and they made a huge difference..

Changed back to my BBS's, put in my spinning centre caps and gave it well overdue wash.

Bar the number plate it's not an edited photo, I tried Koch Chemie WetGloss for a second time now that by Gyeon Cure has worn off and found it a lot better and glossier.

Soundaktor was rattling the dash like mad so wedged some foam under the bracket with the help of this forum and Youtube.
Just about managed to wrangle the bolt without removing wipers - fiddly! The bolt was also finger loose at first which explains the rattle  :shocked:

Controversially I like it on as with the music turned up to 11 at least I get some feedback.



Any links to the guides mentioned?
