Golf mk8 / Re: Vibration from sound soundaktor
« Last post by JamesR27 on 03 January 2026, 19:12 »I had this on my old 7.5 and I know some people took it back to the garage and I think they used anti rattle tape. In my case I only had it in race mode so just turned the volume down via Carista until it stopped as not so keen on the sound anyway over normal.
I have found this though that might help if it’s the same setup.

This has only started since the cold weather.has anybody else had this?
I had this for a few days then seemed to just go away on its own after a few days not come back so far🤞

Golf mk6 / Re: Any ideas what this could be please?
« Last post by Norwichdaz on 03 January 2026, 13:54 »Yep will keep an eye on it for a few days but yes atm all.is good...
Google says these parts last 10years... yeah course they do 😆 🤣
I have a few dodgy bits of paint work maybe an inch squared or slightly better where the guy has tried rubbing off a chip then randomly spraying white on it... mechanic at work reckons he could get his polisher machine on it and touch up paint to make them.look better as can really see when the cars clean ..
But as I said I like to make it look nice but end of the day its a daily and getting on a bit...
Doesn't stop me looking at bits for it but I dont think things like exhaust/induction kit is worth it ? As exhaust once warmed up still sounds alright tbf if do put foot down... and induction kit etc could just play with the running of the engine poss..
Not much else really I could do I dont think? Also im.40.its not like i go cruising out and about anymore ! Haha...
Back in the day had a couple of civic type r's which i enjoyed tbf.
