Golf mk7 / Re: What have you done to your MK 7 today ?
« Last post by ProtoCulture on 29 August 2025, 20:48 »I did the same, went from 19" Santiago's (225/35) to 18" Protrack One's (235/40) and never looked back.

Golf mk7 / Re: What have you done to your MK 7 today ?
« Last post by MinchCS on 29 August 2025, 13:00 »They look great. I have done similar on mine (albeit OZ 18" HLT Leggeras) but since I originally had 19" prets, I went with 235/40 tyres to get the same rolling diameter and fill the arches a smidge more. The ride is so much better, and 2kg a corner weight saving.

As shown, a set of genuine VW Pretoria' in silver.
I am not sure, maybe with a little brake dust & road grime they will calm down a little? 😉
They'd look great in a matt bronze...
Hhmmm.... Maybe? I don't really want to attract too much attention. This is my sensible car, after all!

I specced it in mine and while it is really cool, I do find myself wondering if it was worth getting. I sort of forget it's there sometimes and find myself looking at the dash anyway, even for info that is in the HUD.
Maybe some more time with it will retrain my muscle memory

Golf mk8 / Re: PV4 software update
« Last post by seanaodh on 29 August 2025, 09:52 »What are the bugs that this claims to solve? I <touches wood> haven't had any gremlins, bar not being able to turn up Android Auto volume when the car first starts up (you need to turn the volume down first to zero, then it works again)
Are there well known bugs that this update is supposed to sort? Seems really risky!
